BaselWorld 2014: Parallax Tourbillon by Grönefeld
The Dutch company Grönefeld has released a new limited model Parallax Tourbillon, which will be officially presented at the international exhibition BaselWorld 2014. The model name «Parallax» comes from the term "parallax", which means changing the apparent position of the object relative to the remote background, depending on the observer’s position. It is about minimizing the possibility of errors due to parallax visual indication of seconds by the maximum approximation pointer of the central second’s hand to the surface of an appropriate scale on the dial. The novelty is presented in two versions: stainless steel (12 items) and 18-carat pink gold (28 items).
