Grand Seiko itself does have hand-finished movements as well. See pic.
The design of the movement architecture is minimalist, but I can absolutely guarantee you that this GS movement is finished to a much higher standard than that Parmigiani.
The bevels, the jewel and screw countersinks, ... are all hand polished to a much higher degree for instance.
The Parmigiani is very much "entry level" when it comes to decorative finishing, while the GS movement in pic has finishing of the very highest level.

You should know that most of Grand Seiko's movements are finished to a similar standard as Rolex or Omega movements: pretty much entirely machine finished with almost no hand finishing and typically no bevels (or at the most relatively crude machined bevels). This is very normal in this price range.

However: you should know that "Seiko" the parent company is extremely serious about hand movement finishing, but mostly in the Credor line (and the GS in pic).
Seiko even hired the absolute grandmaster of hand movement finishing Philippe Dufour to train their hand finishing staff.
