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. To minimize the possibility of error due to parallax when viewing the seconds hand from an angle, the hand is exceptionally close to the outer chapter ring with the seconds indexes. In a neat addition, the one-armed balance wheel bridge always runs parallel to the central seconds hand.
In addition to
the flying tourbillon and friction-spring-free central seconds, the Parallax
Tourbillon has yet another innovative feature: rather than pulling the crown to
set the time, which has the risk of damaging the fragile crown stem, it is
pressed. An indicator on the dial displays the function selected: "W"
for Winding or "S" for time setting. When the time setting function
is selected, both tourbillon cage-bridge and the central seconds hand
automatically return to their respective 12 o’clock positions and stop (or
hack) while the time is set.
Pictures shown are of the Stainless Steel model.
The Parallax
Tourbillon is available in a red gold or stainless steel case 43mm case.
Ensuring the exclusivity of this exceptional timepiece, the red gold model is a
limited edition of 28 pieces and the "1912" stainless steel model is
a limited edition of just 12 pieces.
