The minimalist concept is amazing!
Perhaps some of their pastel dial colors would bring a bit more interest.
The Almost-Perfect PF Tonda
I owned the Parmigiani Fleurier PF Micro-Rotor Tonda for a while, and recently parted ways with it due to a couple of flaws that impacted my experience with it. Here’s my honest owner review. - Dial: the warm gray hand-guilloched dial is subtle. The close...
Great owner feedback
Sorry it did not work out for you in the end. So many wonderful options these days, none of us needs to ever settle, especially in this price league. The bracelet on my Minute Rattrapante and Mineral Blue no date is one of my favorite features of the watc...
That’s what I heard as well.
They needed a bigger crown for the Rattrapante’s, which actually fixed the issues!
Excellent and fair review.
I concur on the crown: it's too small. I also had a hard time pulling it out to set the time and adjust the date, which were big reasons why I moved on from the watch. Like you, I also purchased a 1.5 link for my bracelet and that gave me a comfortable an...
I’m glad I’m not the only one.

Informative.
I appreciate your candid feedback. I have never owned but only tried on and admired from afar. The lack of lume was what deterred me at the time.
I agree.
For an integrated sports watch, the lack of lume is an omission. I would have been willing to overlook it, if it wasn’t for the other downsides.
You touched upon all the salient points regarding this time piece. I too was an owner.
The small crown used to drive me crazy when trying to adjust the time. The final point was the fact that the service from Parmigiani Fleurier was such a disappointment as a result both of mine are gone.
I never had to send mine in.
So, I didn’t get to experience their service. I do wonder how the novel movements will hold up with time, like the Mystery Chronograph, and even the Rattrapantes. PF recently extended their warranty to 5 years, which is a good move!
I'm having similar challenges really loving the Tonda GMT
I still can't decide if it's acclimation or just not as inspired on the wrist at home as I was in the store (and at W&W), so I haven't let it go yet... it's missing a certain je ne sais quoi
