...or the arrival of the Parmigiani Fleurier Ovale Pantographe. Turning back time about 10 years I was being shown a watch at an exhibition that completely blew me away : the PF Ovale Pantographe ! The telescopic hands,the dial lay-out,the unusual case sh...  

An amazing watch and very unique ! 👏

The hands give this watch an undeniable cool factor.

It seems they went out of the way to add inward angles, whereas many would have just extended the plate to smooth it out. Top quality craftsmanship.

it's one of those watches that are just toooo distracting.
