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...

Once again, the key point of this watch is the speed of the slowest axis. This "detail" changes everything and the Tourbillon behaviour is by far the most impressive I've ever seen. Maybe not the most charming, the most beautiful but the most impressive. ... 

Great video, Fx!

Thank you for adding this video! I could look at the Tourbillon dance all day long.... :) Best Blomman

That's the main problem with this watch! More seriously, I would prefer to own the Neo-Tourbillon, its design speaks better to me. Fx

... skill of the watchmaker, then a multi-axis tourbillon is the ultimate canvas and visually I find it more exciting, more mesmerizing, than any other complication (or sophistication), even that of a Grand Sonnerie. I love this GP Tri-axial movement and ...

That is an interesting thought, Andrew! :) Agree about the size, very wearable indeed. Thank you for your input. Best Blomman

Amazing piece.. High-end marvel.. I found the dial pretty cool, as well.. Everything else.

.. as you said : movement, tr-axial Tourbi plus the crystal cyclops, the side window, the curved RM, the kept theme of the golden bridge are great, I find Although such high end specimens are beyond any reach and will be for ever, I enjoyed your report, f... 

This you should see in real, HS! :)

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

Thank you for great article my friend

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 :... 

That is the great way to look at it, Damjan! :)
