That’s because, while it may not be the most dramatic release, it’s a solid double. I know that may not sound like the most glowing praise, but I swear it is, because not only do I genuinely like this watch, but to really grow and develop a brand, home runs — like the 30th Anniversary Carillon Tourbillon TanTan went hands-on with last month — aren’t enough; you need to support them with consistent singles and doubles. Parmigiani is really good at that, and I’m not sure there’s a watch in their catalog that isn’t helping them move in the right direction, even if it’s just a base at a time.
