my "impulse" buy
For a couple of weeks I have wanted a dual time zone watch whereby both
times are completely independent since I will be doing plenty of
traveling to +0.5 hours timezone.
I was completely sold on the FP Journe Resonance but did not have the opportunity to see one "live".
So when I was in Shanghai, passed by the Parmigiani boutique, and went home with this...
The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda 42 Hemisphere.
It's a great watch, great size, and love the open-worked case. Kinda give it a skeletonized look and it has two day/night indicators (which the FP Journe did not).
Not as prestigious as the FP Journe, but the watch provides me with the functions I need.
Sorry for the bad picture....
oh, and I bought this for the wife...

fake ?
I edited this post ...... At first sight they didn't look right to me (but like you say the pics are not that good) But when I saw your previous posts I could be wrong. .... So forgive if I made a mistake This message has been edited by Bruno.M1 on 2011-0...
it does look fake...
cause I take really poor pictures... but I can assure you they are genuine all right... cheers, gg
But the Parmigiani really looks very 'strange'
But I must say it is one of the brands I don't follow very much
oops
guess I was very wrong Sorry for thinking it was a fake... my mistake ! Congrats with these 2 watches
Congrats!
My wife and I own several Parmigianis, and while I wasn't a big fan of the initial Hemispheres watches, I really like this open dial treatment a lot. Nice choice! Best, Gary G
congrats gunners
finally you take the shot on Parmigiani, although I dont know much about this beast, it is very interesting complication watch for traveller. I would still keep my dreaming of Sonata as best traveller watch huge congrats again and enjoy best, ES
congrats, glad to see you buy something outside the Langes and Pateks!!
a most useful watch, but i cant claim to know alot about Parmigianis. i am not a big fan of their designs, there is always something i can nitpick about!! congrats once again, best, Horo
it was really difficult...
.... trying to find a lange / patek that suits what i need. I bought the watch plainly and simply because of its complication. A case of necessity and functionality over aesthetics and brand. However, so far, it is growing on me... Cheers, GG
These watch photos look unusual to me
Not to nitpick, as I am certainly not a good photographer, but the parmigiani does not look right in the date window... note the position of the 3 compared to the rest of the visible date wheel. I have also never seen a patek model like this one shown wit...
That's a stunning combination...
didn't know that they had a LE for this too... Nice one mate! Cheers, GG
haha, i am sure you made the right choice ~
haha, i am sure you made the right choice, hope you will like it more later not only becoz its "funtion" and "complication". RL
