Mining the Parmigiani archives . . . Toric minute repeaters
For a brand that has not achieved its 30th birthday, Parmigiani has a rich catalog of horologic masterpieces. This post reminds us of several minute repeater creations that are marvels, both technically and artistically.

Hoping this large date doesn’t give our beloved Nicolas heart burn.

A wandering hours time display as well as a minute repeater.
c. Tecnica Ombre Noir
The Tecnica is a piece unique ”grand complication" with perpetual calendar, minute repeater, and tourbillon.
My takeaway is this . . . for a smaller independent brand with a short history, Parmigiani is a powerhouse. The artistic and technical achievements that have been accomplished in a short period are extraordinary.
Thanks for looking.

This is quite fascinating:
I knew none of these four models. Thanks a lot for this discovery thread!
As do I. In white metal, it's my favorite of the group.
The Quaestor Labyrinthe is a close # 2.
They're using a mix of movements here
The first has an APRP movement, the same one used in the Royal Oak Supersonnerie. The next two are Lemania/Claret movements. Last is APRP's tourbillon+repeater+chronograph movement but without the chronograph--which is relatively rare.
