Parmigiani

Parmigiani Vs. Richard Mille

 

As most of us know, Vaucher provides RM its movements and there can be some striking similarities between PF and RM movements as a result. For fun, some photos to compare between my Kalpa QF and an RM 029.

Strikingly similar movements (not to say identical, difference being the "modern" RM and the "classical" PF)!! Interesting point thanks !

I know the Tonda 1950 movement shows up in some RMs as well.

I'd be curious to find out what others if any are also shared between the brands.

Great point! Thank you for sharing. BTW, since the movement is very similar is there a price difference? 😂😂😂

a small price difference, only about 10x 😂

Right! 😂😂😂

Very interesting, thanks for sharing

I bet the movement cost for the PF is actually more than the RM with the gold rotor and a little bit of hand finishing :) CNC time is cheap....

I would bet the same!

And in addition to the finishing/gold, there's also the movement certification.

May I throw in a third?

Thank you! The rotor is actually a goblet….
