Ah, Nicolas, you're now discovering the charms . . .
. . . of Glashütte's tourbillons! While the PanoTourbillon XL is the latest incarnation of the cal 41 movement, there are others,
notably the Alfred Helwig Tourbillon 2 . . .

Yes! Tourbillon feels like the 3rd eye...
... that stares at you. I was always bothered by the way G.O often make dials that i feel had "emptiness" in some zones. But this one has a lot for her. Quite a bold design. Indeed, they look like cousins. From where did you find this model? Is it old, ne...
