Right, it’s not relative to the tourbillon..
But I like that detail: to me it shows that they are looking at the watch for what it really is, an instrument for telling time, and so they are making sure that it's properly designed to perform that function at its best. It shows that they are not only looking at the aesthetics of the watch, but also at its functionality.
Now, putting that much emphasis on the parallax may have a little to do with marketing too, but I still like the detail and the way it's implemented!

[Basel 2014] New Grönefeld Parallax Tourbillon watch (Preview)
Under this "barbarian" term the G' Bros have created a new movement with a Flying Tourbillon. I don't understand what "Parallax" means here (and thus brings) and would love to have more clues from our reporters. The level of finishing seems of the highest...
I am not a Tourbillon guy, but I quite like this one a lot!
I love the way they designed it, here. Well done, Brothers! Best, Nicolas
I must say I agree with your point
Sometime I find the tourbillon making a kind of hole in dials (especially classic ones). Maybe it has to do with the modern style of Gronefeld watches, making this integration easier, but it seems completly right in there. You'll be lucky to see it soon i...
I am not planning to go to Basel, so I fear I will have to wait...
But I am really curious to see it in the real. Best, Nicolas.
It's true you've been in Switzerland already lately
A little time in Paris your familly will certainly appreciate spending with you. Mark
Great watch and the parallax
This looks great! I really like the designs from Grönefeld. The dial seems to have a lot of depth and personally I think it’s great that they will also be making a stainless steel version. Not that it will be more affordable, but I like steel better than ...
Parallax
Thanks a lot for the explanations Albi, that's perfectly clear. I've just had a look at wikipedia too and this parallax thing is an interesting detail, though it doesn't seem to concern the tourbillon itself. Thanks for your input! Cheers, Mark

but apparently it is!
The slight elevation of the tourbillion in relation to the baseplate of the dial gives it a lot more visibility, depth and three-dimensionality than just another window to a hole, where some of the more interesting parts would be inaccesable to view. As f...
And another detail...
That I read about only later is that the seconds hand is aligned with the arm in the tourbillon bridge! I like this more and more every time I look at it! :) Best, Alberto
