great write up, the Panerai tourbillon is very interesting

Hello Anthony,

I'm quite fascinated by the new Panerai tourbillon (BTW, it is a single axis tourbillon, the axis is simply in a different plane than conventional tourbillons).  I rather wish they would've optimized the cage even further for reduced inertia relative to its rotation, but it would be very interesting to see how it performs in use.  As long as it's not overly sensitive to shocks, it might perform very well on the wrist.  Either way, it's very cool to look at and a nice innovation IMHO.

Thanks for the great report!
