completely agree, I hope to see more of Parmigiani on the forums

I totally agree. I've been looking for my first purchase into the "next tier" level of timepieces for some time. My nicest timepiece currently is a Zenith Reserve de Marche. I don't live in a very strong watch market, but of the 3 stores I've been too during my travels that carry Parmigiani, they've all had similar comments. When I walked into Oster Jewelers in Denver for the first time(several years ago when I first started learning about watches), I asked about Breguet, and AP which they carried, and they said- they're wonderful timepieces, but let me show you these Parmigiani pieces. I was floored by the qaulity of the finishing, and the overall feel of these pieces in my hands. Wonderfully beautiful watches. All 3 dealers raved about the Hebdomadaire, and each said Parmigiani's quality is easily on par with AP. Currently AP, Parmigiani, and Moser are at the top of my wish list...I really hope to see more posts about Parmigiani in the futre. Now if I can just figure out if I want the Pershing, Kalpagraph, or Hebdomadaire!!!! Thanks again for the wonderful report. -Josh

Two comments, a silly one and a more serious. The silly one is that this part makes me think about C3Po's head: The more serious is about the new Tonda Hemispheres GMT: this watch allows you to set the second timezone display minute per minute and not hou...

As an owner, it really is nice to see more reports on this very under-appreciated manufacture. I am one who really hopes they can exert a stronger presence in the market as this is a true collector's brand; given the vertical manufacture integration of di...
