It's 1998. After about 25 years in restoration, then helping LUC get off the ground with its 1.96, you release your own first full catalogue of wrist watches. You decide this is one will be one of its humbler entries, and call it, simply, "Automatic."

Toric case, yes?

First released as a 'Torus' with the name 'Toric' becoming the norm a little while later.

That was and remains a great looking watch.

A simple three-hander.

I think so. I wish I could say the same for my writing - I messed it up! :)

That is what one calls "boss"

I do like Parmigiani watches but that original Toric was an absolute unit!

It's good to see their new watches doing well but for me the early line up of 20-25 years ago remains unmatched for its singularity.

Such a beauty! Enjoy! Lars

I shall indeed, Sir. Thank you.

Beautiful watch. Love the contrast and textures within the concentric circles ending in the guilloche center.

And after all that, what you've got is a three-hander. I suppose this is the reason for its charm. It's all ornamentation.

The Toric case is becoming a classic and pure PF DNA 👍

Much toned now these days but yes it's a leitmotif for sure.
