Parmigiani

Toric Tuesday

 

The Toric Chronograph in platinum from the early 2000s.




The double knurled bezel evokes a sculpted Greek column. Michel Parmigiani apparently has a keen interest in classic architecture.




In the early years, the brand acquired its movements and reworked them to PF finishing standards, in this case an El Primero movement from Zenith.




The unusual date placement has quickly grown on me and gives the watch a certain unique charm. This is one of the few early Toric Chronographs that has Arabic numerals, which I find pleasing. 




On the wrist, a joy to wear.
