FP Journe said (less or more, in French) about the lubrification:

"Breguet is not really interested about gravity when he invented the Tourbillon, he was interested by the better lubrification provide by the Tourbillon"

I have no personnal opinion, on this last point, but obviously, solve the matter of the lubrification, is one of the Grail of the mechanical watchmaking.
