Many thanks Bill. I will try and briefly explain the function below...

Michel Parmigiani designed this model called the Transforma Rivage to be a true all around watch for Bernand Stamm, the Swiss sailor, during his sailing competition around the world.

So he wanted to create a multi-purpose watch that could be used or worn in several different ways (wrist watch, pocket watch when used with the pocket watch attachment and chain, desktop clock when put into the watch winder which doubles as a desktop clock, and a clock when attached to the control panel on his sailboat.

I will link a video from YouTube below and hope it works as it describes the watch well.

I will also attach a couple of photos of the pocket watch attachment and desktop winder so you can see their functions πŸ˜‰πŸ‘

to my surprise I saw this all by it's lonesome. The strange thing is that it fit perfectly into the outer carriage and strap I was wearing. Guess it was meant to be πŸ˜πŸ˜‰. All kidding aside, I have no idea why Parmigiani does not get the recognition they rig...  

Very cool configuration. What is the purpose of that function.

Not sure why it is not recognized as highly. Great looking watch. Enjoy you shopping.

Many thanks Bill. I will try and briefly explain the function below...

they are really great and comfortable watches

Yes I agree, the 8 day manufacturer movement was designed for the tonneau/squarish case as well like the Reverso series...

It is also very comfortable to wear with the SS bracelet that feels like silk, even more comfortable than a Nautilus bracelet in comparison πŸ‘ Shame Parmigiani does not get the recognition it deserves but hopefully one day they will πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

An epic piece! [nt]

can I have the name of your grocery stores? I visit dozen per years and never find something like you

Regarding Parmigiani , I have no idea this is all about passion, she failed to arouse passion, desire maybe a lack of marketing.

It is my local Carrefour πŸ˜‰, and I do agree about the marketing...

Stunning watch. [nt]

That is a very slick watch! Same for the box! Been a Parmigiani fan for years, so glad I finally aquired one. Moochie loves how it compliments his dressy attire! One of the best looking

thin gold watches on the planet. My experience is that they also try very hard to make sure you are happy with your purchase. ...  

Very interesting feature!

I could see this watch getting a lot of use as a desk clock as well.
