Glashütte Original pays homage to Alfred Helwig, the master watchmaker who created the flying tourbillon in the 1920s. The flying tourbillon allows for full visual impact of the tourbillon as it is cantilevered and supported from just one side. In comparison, the conventional tourbillon involves support by a bridge on either side.
