The Calibre PF510 is a hand-wound movement containing 237 components, including 30 jewels. The balance has a frequency of 21,600 vph (3Hz) and the two series-coupled barrels ensure autonomous operation for one week.
However, where the Calibre PF510 sets itself apart from lesser movements is with its distilled creation. Few movements eclipse the peerless finissage found on the Calibre PF510. Three bridges, adorned with Geneva Stripes, dominate the caudal view of the movement. Each wave-like stripe is pristinely expressed and contrasts wonderfully with neighbouring stripes. The jewel sinks are polished to an eye-searing brilliance. Towards the centre of the exposed movement, beyond the lone, visible, circular grained wheel is a pocket of peerless perlage. Each pearl is crisp and delightfully delineated from its neighbour.
The bridges are engraved with gold lettering and feature polished screw sinks. The screws, visible via the sapphire crystal, have chamfered rims and bevelled slots. It is clear that the word 'expedience' is absent from the Parmigiani Fleurier vocabulary. The chamfered edge of each bridge, presented at a 45° angle, perfectly illustrates the adroit skills practised by the craftsmen who work for this maison.
And then there is the tourbillon bridge. The expanse of specular polished metal, which sits in the southern hemisphere of the movement, is virtually, but not quite, a facsimile of the tourbillon bridge at the base of the dial. The neighbouring screws also share the same mirror-like quality, the outcome of patiently dragging a tiny part over diamantine paper in a figure of eight until a flat, blemish-free result is achieved.
The exacting execution of the movement provides the perfect foil for the beguiling spectacle of the tourbillon revolving. The tourbillon makes one complete revolution every 30 seconds, sidestepping the more customary one revolution every 60 seconds pace. This accelerated pace delivers a hypnotic sight and will readily ensnare any onlooking purist's heart. vedere di piu replica watch e Rolex Masterpiece II
