The GP offer, in the high end category, these last years, is so huge that this Tri Axial tourbillon is not my favourite. Which means a lot! The 3 Axis Dance of the Tourbillon is fascinating. The concept is very interesting. BUT, when I thiknk multi axis t...
Yes, GP has offered a lot in the high-end segment...

Last few years! :) The Constant Escapement is one, but I personally perfer yet another... Will return with a review on that one soon. Thank you for your kind words, my freind! Best Blomman

Thank you for your input, my friend. Yes, you should go and have a look in person - a lot of beauty and details are lost in a photo... Best Blomman

I concur that dial is bar far weakest part of this horological tour de force but GP made "clever choice", of what I expect, is first from the series of watches Two empty "slots" are for future complications Yes I know that I'll always find excuse for GP :...
