Disclosed is a tourbillon for a horology movement including a cage rotatably mounted on the horology movement, the cage bearing a regulating organ including a balance including a balance pivot pivotally mounted in balance bearings about a balance axis with an anchor including an anchor pivot pivotally mounted in anchor bearings about an anchor axis and arranged to cooperate both with the regulating organ and also with an escapement wheel including an escapement pivot pivotally mounted in escapement bearings about an escapement axis. The anchor and the escapement wheel are positioned relative to the balance so the distance between the anchor axis and the balance axis and the distance between the escapement axis and the balance axis are greater than the outer radius of the balance. Also disclosed is a movement including such a tourbillon as well as to a timepiece including such a movement.
