Not a hole in the dial!
Toric Tuesday is the right time to express my abundant admiration for this Toric Tourbillon from circa 2000.
One of my attractions to this watch is the way in which the tourbillon is displayed, i.e., at the intersection of three bridges and not in a hole in a dial. Coupled with the decorated back plate and black polished tourbillon bridge it makes for an appealing visual display.
While admiring the watch, I would be remiss not to highlight the exceptional casework and double-step knurled bezel. The bezel in particular is the trademark feature of early Toric watches.
Finally, a couple shots of the backside of the inverted movement which begins its horological life as a Girard-Perregaux ebauche.
I hope your week is off to a good start and thanks for stopping by to look.

Thank you for these beautiful shots
which really enable us to fully admire each aspect of the watch. I notice for the first time the bird-shaped click on the reverse side. Seeing it in action while winding must be enjoyable. The case is gorgeous. And you describe very well why this tourbill...
That really is a stunning looking Parmigiani Toric Tourbillon watch.
As you know I just love seeing all these stunning Parmigiani watches and so far they have never disappointed me and more than just their overall looks it is the small details that really draw me in. Wear and enjoy it in good health. Marc
This is a stunner
I don’t mind seeing a tourbillon through the dial, but I love as you described - the bridges being visible and the tourb on the dial side. I would say classically a hidden tourbillon a la Laurent Ferrier is a stunning movement side surprise for the owner ...
This is a great way to display and highlight a tourbillon
as you stated - different than everyone’s hole in dial approach. The more I see these toric models with the case design and details - the more and more I admire them.
