They’re certainly heading in the right direction lately.

Though, I’d like to see them caring for the other models as well, especially the Toric.

The steel is almost perfect!

I am pleased they chose platinum for the bezel, and I actually find the ridged pattern to be in keeping with the engine-look of the timepiece.
The watch is wonderful

And they do play in the same league of high (crazy?) prices for a luxury sporty watch. That's the trend, PF is second to none in terms of finishing and craftsmanship.
Yes…. But imo only in this case.

Their others are imo very fair priced I mean the tonda PF and GT This skeleton however… well I didn’t know the price and must confess I’m surprised… much more than I expected or at least than I hoped lol Nicolas, thanks for a fantastic review
How would you rate this compared to the GP skeleton in steel?
By: ArmisT : April 17th, 2022-10:12
GP’s skeletons have always been impressive, especially with their ceramic versions. But I wonder, steel vs. steel, what would be the preference in the metal. Regardless of the comparison, this PF is very attractive with its own character. Thanks for posti...
Interesting question
By: chikai168 : April 17th, 2022-10:22
I have been asking the same question. I love the GP Laureato skeletons. (And I have the Neo bridges Earth to Sky, another beautiful open worked watch from them). Just from the pictures, the PF seems more elegant overall but the movement finishing seems on...
I agree.

Thank you Nico

This one caught my eye too. The whole package is beautiful, elegant and finely made, no doubt. The bezel is actually think is quirky in a positive way and I like it. But like you, I found the price in titanium/ steel a surprise (not a good one!). Maybe I ...

Thanks Nicolas for a great report. I see we share
By: MilDiver : April 17th, 2022-11:54
In too many occasions I noticed we share similar tastes I love the PF as a brand, one of the great watch companies out there As much as I like the brand and "want" to buy watches, not many of them fit my taste , but this new steel is beautiful, Not sure a...

Probably!

Your key points....
By: InHavenPro : April 17th, 2022-17:33
the skeleton work is not 'Baroque'! Excellent, wholeheartedly agreed . It has its own style, not a Genta derivative. Lastly, but importantly - the price is definitely aspirational. Not that the quality isn't present, but that I would frankly expect this m...
I like this watch.
By: Cozmopak : April 17th, 2022-23:09
I especially like the GMT. Out of curiosity what were the 8 coup de coeur watches for you?
It's nice and thin...
By: mdg : April 18th, 2022-01:54
...and they didn't add a date, which I like. On the plus side, the bezel will not look scratched up as much as a polished one would...
Another fine review: as sober and balanced as these two excellent watches.
By: Rosneathian : June 9th, 2022-03:15
First thoughts: I've never been a fan of skeletonisation. Call me names but for me front is front and back is back. The tendency towards the "baroque" (as you so aptly put it) also makes to many watches of this kind look like cadavers on the wrist, even i...
