Dear fellow Purists,

It's been many years I am reading and learning from this forum, from a bunch of generous people sharing their knowledge, insights and passion. Thanks to all of you. You've been a great help and inspiration.

I'd like to start my contributions on Watchprosite with the watch I started my journey.

Here's my Parmigiani Toric, bought in 2005 when I was in my early thrities. A thin, 40 mm platinum case with two distinctive knurled rings on the bezel, an anthrazite "grain d'or" guilloché dial, the Parmigiani-style hands, the date window harmoniously integrated in the chapter ring - to me, an understated but very well executed, classic watch. The movement is nicely finished, based on a Lemania 8815 ebauche.

We don't see these here very often - I hope you like this one.

Sorry for the iPhone pics. Did my best ;-)

Best,

Daniel

my gosh, this is absoultely stunning

It's been 14 years since you bought it and it looks as fresh and beautiful as ever. This design will never get old. Just spectacular - love it.

Thanks, alphabeta. Don't wear it as often as I should

but everytime I do, I remember how "right" this one feels.

Welcome here, Daniel. Yes, you are right, we don't see many Parmigiani here, and it is a pity. There are some very nice ones.

The Toric is very much my taste. If only it didn't have this date window... All the best! Nicolas

I also try to avoid date windows as good as I can

On the Toric, I can tolerate it quite well, though.

Welcome here...

Beautiful PF. Although I've never owned one, I've always liked PF's attention to detail and many of their styles. Cheers, John

Thank you John

I really like their older models. Some of the newer ones, like the Tonda 1950 also appeal to me.
