Description

The Grönefeld Parallax tourbillon features a “flying” tourbillon with a large central seconds hand, stop seconds, power reserve indicator and winding-setting function indicator. The in-house movement, beautiful solid silver dial and highly polished case display sophistication and craftsmanship at the very highest level. The raised flying tourbillon allows full appreciation of the concentric, rhythmic“breathing” of the balance hairspring, while ensuring high precision. The name “Parallax” is derived from the precision of the readability of the central seconds hand. Parallax is defined as the apparent change in position of an object when the observer changes his own position.

The Grönefeld Parallax Tourbillon was awarded the prestigious Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève for the best watch in the tourbillon categorie.

The real takeaway from the Grönefeld Parallax Tourbillon is the importance placed not only on precision timekeeping and setting, but on finishing. The Brothers have gone to extraordinary lengths to design a beautiful looking movement that is finished to the absolute highest standards possible. Again, this is one of those pieces that you don't truly appreciate until you turn it over and look at that caliber with a loupe.
