Always hard to compare
apple with orange.
Automatic movement versus handwound, chronograph vs three-hand model, steel bracelet versus leather strap.
I would choose also the Parmigiani in a heartbeat here, but Moritz Grossmann has wonderful dresswatches and the finishing of their movements are in a very high quality.

My newest purchase
Just picked up this Parmigiani PF chrono. It’s quite beautiful in person and has series wrist presence. I will say I have a little buyer’s remorse though. Not about the PF specifically. I was also considering the Moritz Grossmann Central Seconds at the sa...
Congrats on this excellent acquisition --- for reasons that I'll never fully understand, PF is perhaps the most underrated of all top brands, being such a remarkable Independent in so many respects! ;-)
I think you chose wisely, though I expressed multiple times my total admiration for the hands of MG timepieces --- for me, the best in the entire industry! --- and these are no exception! This MG is certainly a good option to consider for the future Enjoy...
Congrats on a wonderful watch
The PF is one of my favorite brands and as you said underappreciated. I would pick PF over MG anytime.
Honestly here with both models I think you chose right
The Hamitic though is another story
The Hamitic is incredible.
They had one of the LE Hamitic at the AD that I looked at. What an amazing design!

I know, completely different watches
That was one of the dilemmas I had. I went into it just looking for a piece that I’d enjoy wearing. No preference to style or complications. I have an amazing chrono already. I also have an amazing blue dialed time only piece. Was purely looking for a hig...
Big congrats and you should not regret your choice. If you picked it its because you were drawn to it! Your first picture is really telling to me how this chronograph yet has a simply dial layout!
So clean and classic that I am sure you will enjoy it! Any picture of your PF movement? Cheers!
So true!
Leaving town shortly so had to grab out of safe but here’s the money shot ...
Not yet…
My AD said they just announced the release of a leather strap for it and that a rubber strap will be available in the near future. I’ll definitely pick up the rubber strap.
I both an MG and PF
The MG does have better finishing overall. But the PF has a stronger design, and yours has the additional complication. Clearly, the best choice is to get both ...
I think there are nicer looking MG movements..
…unless you were overwhelmingly drawn to the MG then I think you made the right choice. I enjoy my MG Benu but personally I’d wait for one that really blows you away! 👊🍻
