The Parmigiani Tonda Hemispheres Globo 42mm
PARMIGIANI TONDA HÉMISPHÈRES GLOBO
THE ART OF FEMININE TRAVEL
FREE TO CREATE — AN APT DESCRIPTION OF PARMIGIANI FLEURIER’S INDEPENDENT MANUFACTURE.
Exercised in honour of women, this freedom takes on a specific nature, leading to the creation of an exquisite watch. Following on from the men’s Tonda Hémisphères models, this new version illustrates the art of feminine travel, with a rare combination of technical mastery and finesse.
A complete, functional second time zone
Equipped with the self-winding Calibre PF 337, entirely designed and produced by Parmigiani, the Tonda Hémisphères features a complete second time zone, adjustable to the nearest minute, which reflects the quest for innovation so dear to the brand. This perfect synchronisation with the local time is obtained thanks to an ingenious mechanism (patented). The second time zone can be linked in full-hour intervals to the main time, or indexed to it with an interval of minutes. The Tonda Hémisphères can therefore be synchronised with destinations, with a half-hour offset – sometimes more – from GMT. The watch is adjusted using a beautifully simple mechanism. The first crown is used to wind the movement and adjust the date and main time. the second, positioned above, adjusts the minutes of the small time zone.
Homage to the Earth
Until now, a small hand on each time zone has rotated around a counter divided into two parts, one black, one white, to indicate day or night. On the Tonda Hémisphères Globo, each time zone is represented by a domed disc, with a transferred image of the Earth, half in the sun and half in the shade. A red triangle indicates whether the time indicated refers to the day or night. It also features a striking representation of our planet, seen from above, with Europe at the centre. It offers a poetic vision of the majestic Earth, whose beauty shines out from the dial that serves as its universe.
A vibrant, refined look
The opaline dial in Ivory, a silver tone with a slight yellow reflection, presents an exquisitely balanced view of the watch’s small second at 6 o’clock, date at 9 o’clock, and the time zones. The Ivory shade captures the light and complements the brilliance of the bezel, which is set with 80 diamonds (0.8416 carats), creating a captivating effect. For all the sophistication of this model, Parmigiani Fleurier has designed it for the modern female traveller with a vibrant and confident personality. The Hermès strap in denim blue calf leather reflects this dynamism, elegantly underlining the Tonda Hémisphères Globo’s modernity, the signature of this collection.
