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 love the way they designed it, here. Well done, Brothers! Best, Nicolas

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... 

But I am really curious to see it in the real. Best, Nicolas.

A little time in Paris your familly will certainly appreciate spending with you. Mark

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 ... 

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 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 ... 

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... 

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
