Whenever I put on the Parmigiani Ionica...
I realize how much I actually missed it!
I don’t wear this art-deco styled, tonneau shaped beauty with its superb 8-days manual movement nearly enough. Every time I do, I fall in love again. 
Have a great Tuesday, all!

That is a beautiful watch!
Parmigiani should be the next independent to gain in consumer desire and awareness. The level of complications involved in most of their line is on par with some of the great ones. Enjoy!
My thoughts exactly!
Although I don't know if they are shared with the general public... In the meantime, I'll just enjoy. Thanks, shafran!
That is easy
Your shots of your superb matte-dialled watches painfully remind me there’s too much brilliance in my collection 😂 Love your VCs, and the Milgauss is really growing on me. Enjoy a lovely evening!
There is never enough of brilliance!🤣
I have to admit the millies are quite addicting. They are simple, yet special in many ways. Quite perfect, for me. Have a great evening Daniel, Alex
Nice dial but you should not post this without a movement shot
This is just a teaser to the real mechanical show
The back side is the sweet side of the Ionica
I love that PF created a tonneau shaped movement, even for such a niche piece. The finishing is not too bad either.
The case is what sets it apart
...but there are many more things I like on this piece. The warm ivory dial with barleycorn guilloche, the font of the applied numerals, the shape of the hands and most of all, the movement.
Hello Brother!
Mine is a joy to wear, rare and so far beneth the radar it's almost invisible. Mine is platinum. ...
I didn’t know this one had a brother on WPS.
Thanks a lot for adding your Pt Ionica to the thread, ant! Looks gorgeous in black, and it must feel quite substantial for its size in Pt. Enjoy yours! Daniel
It Has a Nice Heft to it
I believe that there is also another one around, WG/Black dial. Wear yours in good health Daniel. Regards Antony
I do hope that PF will get more recognition in the future
I really like their approach of vertical manufacturing capability they had from the beginning, long before „inhouse“ became de rigeur in all haute horlogery brands. I think they had a period in the 2010s where their design was less strong and I’m happy to...
Happy you like it, my friend!
I hope you‘ve seen ant‘s pics of the black dial Pt version in this thread. Should be made for you 😁
Why don’t you wear it more often ?
It’s beautiful indeed. I like the dial a lot with its Breguet applied numerals 🤩
That‘s what I‘m asking myself every time I do
Thank you for the appreciation, Mike! Happy you like it too.
One of the classics
With the eight day caliber and the original three stepped knurled case. The watch has fantastic presence on the wrist and has a good weight as well. The applied numerals are robust, sizeable and eloquent in design terms. I wish that Parmigiani brings back...
I 100% agree!
Your idea of a digital hour Ionica... mmmh that would be truely unique and delicious proposition! Thanks for chiming in, dear chintu, and enjoy your weekend! Daniel
