Supplementing my weekend post cataloging Parmigiani chronographs, I'll add this superb piece, the Tondagraphe Tourbillon with openworked dial.

The backside is as stunning as the front.

This is a dream watch for me but with only 30 examples made it won't be an easy catch.

Enjoy the day.

I think the last three are Toric Westminster Minute Repeaters. Is the first one also a Westminster? I have not seen the first one. It's stunning! Thanks for the photos and enlightenment, Bruno. M4

I mean can you really call it a PF?

Its really just an APRP movement .... PF had as much to do with that movement as I did

Point well made. I'm personally not bothered by . . .

. . . the out-sourced movement. PF was a fledgling brand at this point (and still is in some respects). There are finishing touches such as the black polished tourbillon bridge that carry the PF DNA. Thanks for commenting. M4

If I can find one.

The 1916 Company (formerly Watch Box) had one in the summer that i was too slow on. Keeping my eyes and ears open. The chase is part of the fun, which you already know .

They went way out there with the Senfine

At the same time Zenith were doing a similar thing with their Defy Lab, I'm not sure any of them went further than prototypes. I thought it was unusual for PF given their house style but as a demonstration of technical ability... why not. ...
