The Tonda GT is outfitted with the PF044 movement, a new automatic caliber made of 274 components and 33 jewels. The movement operates at 28,800 vph and has a 45-hour power reserve. There are Geneva stripes throughout the movement, but the 22k-gold rotor ...
I was looking for a new 'steel sports' watch and worked my way through the various available options. PF struck the balance I was looking for. Thanks for sharing the info.
Audemars Piquet Royal Oak. I like the basic models, a lot, but didn't pursue owing to availability issues. I wanted my search to be an enjoyable experience. Patek Philippe Nautilus. Never considered. Not only is it beyond my budget, but after I heard a ch...
It makes me happy to see a watch which look the way a creative designer made. A modern todays watch, which look like a real watch without going over the top. Well done Parmigiani.
I don’t think it needs to be any more depth to it than that, as this is what one should think when looking at ones wrist. The other piece I’d like to see is the Streamliner, and I note in your response above this one was “for another life”. Is that based ...
The H. Moser Streamliner Flyback Chronograph is limited to 100 pieces, and each of them costs $40,000. Clearly there are people on this site for whom this is a trifling sum but it’s way, way beyond my means and I have no issue with saying that.
It's worth adding that black lume is not particularly strong, and fades quite quickly. This is hardly a deal-breaker in the overall context of what the watch tries to achieve. Parmigiani Fleurier will not be sending these pieces to any of its 150 official...
It doesn't try to break industry moulds with angular dials or avante-garde materials; it just focuses on being a good-looking, traditional watch with excellence in the detail.
I'm quite happy to say that this is precisely what I think when I wear and look at it. As for the "sports" tag, I think this is basically an all-purpose watch. It's both conservative and pretty; handsome and curvy. PF did a decent job.
I‘ve always been a fan of Parmigiani. I admire them for their independent spirit and flawless execution. You‘ve picked a very nice specimen here, and I bet the backside doesn’t disappoint! Best, Daniel
PF has a strong working relationship with its authorised sales points, and it shows in the way they interact with customers. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit yesterday. It would be interesting to have your reactions if and when you are able to secure your ow...
Interesting that they are not shipping without an order. That should stop the price discounting that has hurt their image. I have owned the tonda 1950, the pershing and the tonda dual time. They are great watches with their own look. Pf makes a great watc...
I've seen 3-4 individual GTs appear on the secondary market since its launch. Two of these were pulled almost immediately. The other two are still up today. Meanwhile, the sales point where I bought the watch above did have several of PF's other watches o...
