I sell exclusive watches. One of them, Jaeger le-Coultre make a watch known as a Gyrotourbillon.
Now a tourbillon, is a mechanism that holds the balance wheel (the main regulating part of the watch) in a rotating cage which as a result reduces earths gravitational pull on the watch, therefore making it more accurate as a result.
This gyrotourbillon cage rotates on 3 axis, practically eliminating all the effects of gravity.

Not sure what you are asking. Any free object in space has 6 degrees of freedom, three translational and three rotational.
