The greatest integrated bracelet watch I have owned (**Tony do not click**)
Next week marks 7 months with the Parmigiani Fleurier Minute Rattrapante. I can whole heartedly say it is the best I have ever owned in this category, and yes, that includes my octagonal friends.
Certainly the monochromatic appearance of this timepiece speaks directly to my personal tastes. But so do the fascinating complication / movement, fit and finish, materials, comfort, etc.
I'll get to a full review one of these days, but here are 3 quick shots which show how this dial ever changes from light to dark while on the wrist. Coupled with the polished areas and platinum bezel, it is as alive as a monochromatic piece gets. My admiration for it continues to grow. Quite simply... perfect.

Not my best work, but it is exciting to have it back on the wrist.
It pleases me so much.
That is it, Doug. The watch, and other PFs, are just so pure.
Unassuming, discreet, "private luxury" - I know Guido Terreni uses that term. And it is so spot on.
I am with you on bracelet pieces in general.
But this Parmigiani bracelet, it feels the best on my wrist of any I have tried. It is outstanding.
I have handled the GMT Rattra and the skeleton..
Case to the bracelet integration design is truly top notch.
It appears to me lots of thought went into the case details
Lines, shapes, finishes. When you have it on, they all make sense and you appreciate how everything works together.
