Already established as an accomplished watchmaker, Michel Parmigiani decided to launch a brand under his name in 1996. Recognised as one of the most revered in haute horology, Parmigiani Fleurier commemorated its 25th anniversary by introducing the Tonda PF line.

Released during 2021’s Geneva Watch Days, the new signature collection of sophisticated, slender, complicated sports watches is invigorating while also bearing the visual DNA of the brand.

Encased in a stainless steel fluted bezel, the present timepiece offers a delicate Grain d’Orge guilloche dial in deep blue, paired with three sub-registers and a conspicuous date window at 4.30. One of the most notable features of the Tonda PF Chronograph is its clean oval PF logo, a new Parmigiani identity introducing a vertically aligned medallion in the centre of the dial. In correspondence to the case’s silhouette, the teardrop-shaped pushers smoothly arise from the sides of the lugs, giving it a refined appearance that feels organic.

With a staggering wrist presence, this timepiece is designed for daily wear. It sits comfortably on the wrist, not only thanks to its thin profile that perfectly fuses with the integrated bracelet, but also to the lightly curved lugs that subtly emerge from the dial. Moreover, the wearer is invited to admire its beautifully finished, compact, in-house automatic movement through the sapphire caseback, revealing the new PF070 movement.

Sporting an entirely fresh look for Parmigiani, the Tonda FP Chronograph is marketed towards collectors who are not looking to express materialistic style, but the confidence of knowledge and culture, with a refined elegance that is not at all conventional. This is the ideal opportunity to get ahead of the trend and acquire this exquisite luxury sports watch.
