Parmigiani Fleurier presents two new Tonda PF Skeleton watches in 18ct rose gold and steel/platinum.
Skeletonisation generally consists of opening up the movement as much as possible in order to offer the eye a visual perspective through which to gaze. For its new Tonda PF Skeleton watch, Parmigiani Fleurier took a diverse approach: an artistic open-working that reveals the organic life of the movement and its architecture while preserving its balance and volume.
The artisans have made the most of the solid parts and used the voids to allow light to pour into the very heart of the PF777 calibre. This meticulously hand-chamfered latticework draws the purist’s eye in order to grasp some of the mysteries of its kinematics.
To ensure the best possible performance, the oscillating weight visible through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback is artistically crafted in 22ct rose gold to become a masterpiece blending in with the airy overall structure comprised of 187 components.
The oscillations generated by the wearer’s movements help wind the barrel, which is also open-worked and reveals the steady contracting and relaxing of the mainspring driving its balance at a rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour.
Parmigiani Fleurier’s aesthetic and chromatic choices also remain uncompromising in their respect for the strict codes guiding the brand.
Alternating sandblasted and satin-brushed surfaces and punctuated by suspended hour markers, the graphite-coloured open-worked dial of this 40 mm diameter watch perpetuates the creative touch of the artists who designed the Tonda PF collection, which is at the same time complex and minimalist.
The two open-worked hands glide over the large dial opening, which retains only a chapter ring to facilitate the reading of the time.
The Tonda PF Skeleton’s understated elegance underlines Parmigiani Fleurier’s attachment to the finest watchmaking traditions, revisited in a very contemporary overall approach. The restrained and quintessential architecture highlights the knurled and polished bezel that beautifully catches the light and the gaze, as well as the supple, smooth-flowing bracelet design.

Unveiled at Watches and Wonders 2022, the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante watch unites the minimalist character of the collection Tonda PF with an innovative yet simple-to-use second timezone complication.
Useful for globetrotters, this world-premier complication features two superimposed hour hands: one in rhodium-plated gold and the other in rose gold.
Pressing the pusher at 8 o’clock causes the upper rhodium-plated gold hand dedicated to local time to jump one hour forward, thereby revealing the rose gold hand which displays time in the wearer’s place of residence, known as “home time”.
Once the second timezone information is no longer required, pressing the crown-integrated rose gold pushbutton repositions the rhodium-plated hand on top of the rose gold hand in the same manner as a split seconds chronograph hand. This makes it an extremely user-friendly complication entirely in keeping with the brand spirit.
The innovative flyback function is achieved through the integration of a sophisticated mechanism. Operating this intuitive complication enables purists to free the dial surface from an additional time display when it is not necessary. This action reduces the amount of information down to the essentials, encourages instinctive reading and helps reveal the quality and care lavished on each and every detail.
This timepiece is driven by Calibre PF051, a self-winding movement with rose gold micro-rotor. Visible through the sapphire crystal case-back, the movement employs decorative techniques like Côtes de Genève, Perlage and Grain d’Orge guilloché.
The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante has a 40mm diameter stainless steel case and a knurled bezel made of platinum. The watch is secured on a stainless steel bracelet enhanced with brushed and polished finishing.
The fine barleycorn guilloché pattern dial features a subtle “Milano Blue” shade. It can be carried away by the refined visual effect of the guilloché work surrounded by the sandblasted minutes track.
The angle taken by the light draws the gaze out from the centre towards the rim. Such light effects serve to highlight the interaction between the shiny and matt surfaces of the finely knurled single-piece platinum bezel.

Parmigiani Fleurier has launched a limited edition Tonda PF Flying Tourbillon watch in platinum.
Boasting a highly sophisticated horological complication, this prestigious timepiece provides an undeniably authentic expression of the brand’s identity in its all-platinum interpretation with a sandblasted full platinum 950 case and dial. It houses the calibre PF517, an in-house developed flying tourbillon movement with automatic winding via a platinum micro-rotor.
The circular dial opening of this monochrome themed watch reveals the rotating flying tourbillon carriage. The front face of the timepiece displays essentials only, with no trace of anything superfluous.
This 42 mm diameter case in platinum is fitted with a screwed-in crown guaranteeing water-resistance to 100 metres. Its sapphire crystal caseback offers the breathtaking view of its mechanical self-winding calibre.
Designed, produced and assembled by the artisans of the Parmigiani Fleurier watchmaking division, this 32 mm diameter PF517 movement is accurate, durable and finished to the highest Haute Horlogerie standards (bevelling, circular graining and Côtes de Genève).
Elegant and sleek at just 8.6 mm thick, the Tonda PF Flying Tourbillon reflects the spirit of the Maison’s 25th anniversary as a full platinum limited edition following suit to the Tonda PF Split-Seconds Chronograph launched in September 2021.
Immediately identifiable finely knurled and polished platinum bezel, the new Tonda PF Flying Tourbillon watch is secured to the wrist by a minimalist platinum bracelet.
This exclusive creation is a 25-piece limited edition.

The men’s Tonda GT Chronograph from the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT Line is now available in new sportier versions: An 18ct rose gold model with chronograph and big date functions; and steel variant with chronograph and annual calendar functions. Both models are offered with two dial styles based on the color of subdials.
In both cases, the colour choices for the chronograph counters in Quantum Grey or Granata lend them a discreet yet very distinctive presence on the generous dial offering exemplary balance in the display of the functions.
The Tonda GT Chronograph with its substantial 42 mm diameter case in 18ct rose gold houses an integrated selfwinding chronograph calibre operating at a rate of 5 Hertz, i.e. 36,000 vibrations per hour, beneath the silver-toned guilloché dial with its “triangular hobnail” motif.
Short-time measurements are read off on the “Quantum Grey” or “Granata” subdials, judiciously positioned to structure the space harmoniously arranged and nicely balanced by the big date display appearing in a twin aperture at 12 o’clock.
Visible through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback, this top-quality mechanical movement boasts a 65- hour power reserve, 331 components including a sandblasted 22ct gold oscillating weight and a column wheel.
It is clearly finished to the highest standards of Haute Horlogerie. It also enables short-time measurements of up to 12 hours with 1/10th of a second precision thanks to the high frequency of its regulating organ.
This extremely accomplished chronograph, water-resistant to 100 metres and equipped with the distinctive finely knurled and polished bezel, is fitted with a deep red or grey rubber strap matching the colour of the subdials and secured by an 18ct rose gold folding clasp.
The same “Quantum Grey” and “Granata” colour scheme between the counters and the rubber strap also applies to the Tonda GT Chronograph in stainless steel featuring an annual calendar, with a knurled bezel framing the silver-toned guilloché dial in a “triangular hobnail” pattern.
This 42 mm diameter chronograph is water-resistant to 100 m and features modern lines with subdials in one or the other of the colours, classically arranged along the 3 o’clock to 9 o’clock axis and topped by the double date window at 12 o’clock.
It is equipped with an in-house self-winding chronograph calibre operating at a frequency of 4 Hertz (28,800 vibrations per hour).
The movement is also endowed with an annual calendar, a useful additional complication that is easily adjustable. This sophisticated mechanism is comprised of 443 components, including a 22ct rose gold oscillating weight.

To mark the grand finale of its 25th anniversary celebrations, Parmigiani Fleurier presents La Rose Carrée, a one-off, 64 mm, white gold, double hunter pocket watch featuring the most advanced craftsmanship and historical heritage.
It is equipped with an original movement made by legendary watchmaker Louis-Elisée Piguet somewhere between 1898 and 1904. It showcases a grande sonnerie and minute repeater, and has been fully restored while preserving its authenticity. A Rose Carrée or “squared rose” pattern engraving spans the entirety of this legacy movement, as well as the newly designed case, which is coated in translucent grand feu enamel, creating complex shades of blue.
In the late 1990’s, Michel Parmigiani acquired a grande sonnerie and minute repeater movement, created around the end of the 19th century by famous grand complications watchmaker Louis-Elisée Piguet. For over 20 years, this calibre remained in a drawer, awaiting restoration.
In 2021, Parmigiani Fleurier’s newly appointed CEO Guido Terreni decided the brand’s upcoming 25th anniversary deserved a special undertaking, and thus initiated a project together with the maison’s founder and one of the world’s most celebrated master restorers, Michel Parmigiani. The project was to be a signature timepiece that embodies the entirety of Parmigiani Fleurier’s craft, Michel Parmigiani’s culture, Guido Terreni’s vision and the best of what the talented craftspeople surrounding them have to offer.
This historically important grande sonnerie movement was brought back to its original glory, thanks to the best-in-class experience and skill at Parmigiani Fleurier’s restoration workshop. Then it was encased in a highly decorated white gold case measuring 64 mm in diameter. With movement and case, form and function, in unison, La Rose Carrée is a pocket watch that is by nature and by design, entirely unique.
Calibre Louis-Elisée Piguet number 5802 is outstanding in nature, being one of the rare one of the rare one of the rare one of the rare one of the rare one of the rare one of the rare one of the rare one of the rare one of the rare one of the rare one of the rare movements of this style that was made by the famed watchmaker around the end of the 19th century.
While the movement is being rejuvenated, both covers of the case are engraved by the skilled hands of Eddy Jaquet with a motif called “Rose Carrée”. The square roses, inspired by the linear form that rose petals take when they start to wither, are meticulously and assiduously hand-engraved. Their pattern follows the Golden Spiral, a mathematical derivative of the Golden Ratio.
Thus is the inspiration for the design of the case covers, both mirror images of delicate geometric roses floating within a ripple of water on a profound sea of blue. While blue has always been an emotional colour for Michel, the blue rose for him is the epitome of rarity. Roses are often regarded as the most coveted, elegant, and prestigious of flowers. Adding blue to the equation creates a symbol of mystery and of attaining the impossible.
Between three and four layers of blue grand feu enamel are meticulously applied by artistic enameller Vanessa Lecci. She added even more depth and rich colour to the magnificent engraving work, while ensuring the extensive enamelling appears the same on both covers, one more extraordinary feat.
Both covers are symmetrical and contextually engraved. When the first one opens, it reveals a wide, uncluttered dial entirely made of black onyx. On this dark, mirror-like surface that was a great challenge to cut, lies a pair of open-worked, white gold hands crafted in a Delta shape, and a small seconds subdial outlined in white gold. When the second cover opens, it showcases a restored movement whose surface has also been entirely engraved. The mainplate and the bridges now display a Rose Carrée pattern. Engraving the original parts preserved the authenticity of the movement while elevating its beauty.
The crown, set with a blue sapphire, is sheltered by an engraved square bow with blue grand feu enamelling which is attached to a unique square-link chain that has been designed according to the Rose Carrée motif. It has been entirely hand-crafted by Switzerland’s last traditional chain maker, Laurent Jolliet.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, Parmigiani Fleurier presents Tonda PF, the latest and most forward-looking collection from the Swiss Maison. This new series belong to the brand’s popular Tonda collection. Fitted with new integrated bracelets, Tonda PF watches are built around the most iconic in-house movements.
The Tonda PF series inducts a new brand signature. The PF logo appears at 12 o’clock, nestled in a vertical, oval, double-edged appliqué with extensive finishings, a harbinger of the level of care put into the collection.
The indices of each timepiece are set across two levels of the dial, while the Grain d’Orge guilloché dial pattern is the finest imaginable.
The inaugural Tonda PF collection is comprised of four models: Micro-Rotor, Chronograph, Annual Calendar with Retrograde Date and the limited edition Split Seconds Chronograph.
Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro-Rotor with polished and satin-finished eco-friendly 18ct rose gold with hand-knurled bezel
The Tonda PF Micro-Rotor is a slim, pared-down, high-end two-hander with platinum micro-rotor. The Tonda PF Chronograph features an almost flush dial and an integrated high frequency chronograph movement.

The Tonda PF Annual Calendar with retrograde date demonstrates how discretely and astutely advanced indications can be integrated into a pared-down design.
Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Annual Calendar – with polished and satin-finished medical stainless steel case and platinum hand-knurled bezel
All three Tonda PF models mentioned above are available in steel with platinum hand-knurled bezel or entirely crafted in 18ct rose gold.
At the top of the range is a limited series of the Tonda PF Split Seconds Chronograph. To mark the 25th Anniversary of the manufacture, this timepiece is limited to 25 pieces. It features a dial, case and bracelet made of platinum 950, whose high frequency, open-worked, split seconds chronograph movement is built out of solid gold.
Tonda PF represents a mature, sartorial approach to watchmaking, where cloth is replaced by metal and weaving by dial pattern. The cutting and fitting of the shoulders and waistline take on the form of case and bracelet. These are entirely focused on silhouette, fluidity, proportions and taste.
Its specific hands are made of solid gold. Slim and long, they’re almost entirely openworked and of completely new design. The bezel, a direct heritage from the Tonda collection, features a sleek, polished part and another that’s been knurled by hand, and is crafted out of solid platinum 950 for the steel models.
Rather than using the same steel as the rest of the case and bracelet, Parmigiani Fleurier has elected to work with this highly precious metal. Not for the sake of exclusivity, but because it provides a better, shinier play with light and a more artisanal feeling once polished by hand.
The case band on all four references of the Tonda PF line is not straight, but slightly bassiné, i.e. wider near the bezel and narrower on the wrist. This provides the overall design with a sense of increased slimness. The surface is horizontal-satin-finished all around as is the upper surface of the lugs.
Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro-Rotor
The Tonda PF Micro-Rotor measures 40 mm in diameter and owes its pure aesthetic to the uncluttered warm grey, matte guilloché dial.
It inaugurates a new version of Parmigiani Fleurier’s fundamental movement, the PF703. This ultra-slim, 3 mm thick engine is self-winding thanks to a full platinum micro-rotor. This diminutive oscillating weight allows the Tonda PF Micro-Rotor to measure a mere 7.8 mm on the wrist, ensuring comfort and elegance.
The timepiece displays hours, minutes and date. The date disc is the exact same color as the minute track’s, creating a consistent colorway.

Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Chronograph
The 42 mm Tonda PF Chronograph houses the 5 Hz Caliber PF070, an integrated, high frequency, column wheel movement with small seconds and two registers. Integrating three counters on the Tonda PF Chronograph’s thinly guilloché dial demands finesse.
Parmigiani Fleurier maintains an almost flush surface by using thinly sandblasted minute track and counter outlines on the discrete blue dial.
The pushers have been fused with the profile of the Tonda PF Chronograph’s lugs. This model, along with the Tonda PF Annual Calendar, premieres a new oscillating weight in 22ct rose gold, widely open-worked with a central PF logo medallion.

Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Annual Calendar
The 42 mm Tonda PF Annual Calendar transcends the aesthetics that had thus far been associated with Parmigiani Fleurier’s annual calendar movement.
Caliber PF339 presents a retrograde date, day, month and 122-year moonphase as visible in both hemispheres. As they come on top of the three usual time-telling hands, the very nature of the general design of the collection was at stake.
By pushing the date outwards onto the minute track and using discretely outlined counters on the warm grey guilloché dial, Parmigiani Fleurier has managed to balance the pared-down equilibrium of the collection’s design language and an elaborate layout.

Limited to just 25 units as an homage to the maison’s 25th Anniversary, the Tonda PF Split Seconds Chronograph gives prominence to the best craftsmanship available at Parmigiani Fleurier. The case and bracelet of this timepiece are crafted in platinum.
This timepiece features an extremely rare, solid platinum dial to match the deep luster and specific sheen of the case and bracelet, while its sandblasted finish maintains the matte, finely textured theme of the collection.
Caliber PF361 is a new version of the manufacture’s most high-end caliber, the GPHG-awarded ChronOr. Three characteristics make this movement a truly exceptional creation.
One, its mainplate and bridges are made of solid 18ct rose gold. Two, they’re extensively open worked, satin-finished and beveled, even though the dial is a closed one. Three, it is an integrated, high frequency split seconds chronograph. It allows optimal timekeeping of two events starting at the same time, down to the 10th of a second.

On the joyous occasion of Eid in 2021, Parmigiani Fleurier released three new gem-set variations of its award-winning Tonda Hijri Perpetual Calendar. Diamonds, rubies and emeralds — these three gemstones were deliberately chosen to represent the national colours of countries in the Middle East.
One and a half Gregorian years after launching the Tonda Hijri Perpetual Calendar, Parmigiani Fleurier revisits its groundbreaking world premiere in a limited series of three gem-set models. In line with the intention of the original Tonda Hijri Perpetual Calendar to respect the Muslim community’s adherence to dress codes that counsel men against wearing gold ornaments, the three new Tonda Hijri Perpetual Calendar models are housed in platinum cases, and gold is not used for any of the movement components.
The new models come in cases set either with diamonds, rubies or emeralds, with the exact shade of rubies and emeralds selected specifically to pay tribute to the national colors of the countries in the Middle East region. Each gem-set variation of the Tonda Hijri Perpetual Calendar is limited to 10 pieces only, a true horological exclusivity.
When it debuted in Rabi Al-Akhar, the fourth month of the Islamic calendar, in the Hijri year 1441, the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda Hijri Perpetual Calendar was the first wristwatch to feature its unique eponymous complication. Perpetual calendars are sophisticated watch mechanisms that can keep track of various calendrical irregularities such as the fluctuating number of days in a month, displaying the date accurately despite these irregularities.
Traditionally considered one of the most prestigious watchmaking complications and featuring among the three horological functions that constitute a Grande Complication, the perpetual calendar is almost without exception configured to represent the Gregorian system.
Creating the automatic in-house PF009 caliber of the Tonda Hijri Perpetual Calendar was therefore a drastic departure from watchmaking convention. It required a completely reworked calendar mechanism that was only possible to develop through the extensive experience and skill of master watchmaker, restorer, historian and brand founder Michel Parmigiani.
The basis of the PF009 calibre was drawn from a Parmigiani Fleurier table clock launched in 2011, which was itself based on an antique pocket watch with an Arabic calendar display that was personally restored by Michel Parmigiani.
The three new gem-set variations of the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda Hijri Perpetual Calendar balance exuberance with sobriety. The appreciation of geometric design and a mathematically abstract approach to beauty is deeply embedded in the aesthetics of Arabic culture.
This is reflected in the presentation of the gems, which utilize the rectilinear baguette cut, emphasizing clarity and structure. Because the baguette cut imparts comparatively less sparkle, or “fire”, than a round brilliant cut, it is imperative that all the gems used in the Tonda Hijri Perpetual Calendar are as internally flawless as possible and are consistent in hue.
Other design elements that pay tribute to the Arab world include two shaped bridges of the movement, resembling the waxing and waning moon, the date bridge in the form of the Arabic symbol known as the Rub el Hizb, and the Arabesque form of the calendar levers.
The dial indications are in Arabic script, and the numbers are expressed in the Indo-Arabic numerals commonly used in the region. The guillochage decorating the winding rotor of the PF009 calibre is a signature of Parmigiani Fleurier, and is conventionally referred to as grain d’orge, or barleycorn, but its rippling wave-like pattern across the noble platinum surface of the rotor echoes another precious commodity in the arid landscapes of the Middle East — water.
Every calendar system is different. The Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar, with 12 months of mostly 30 or 31 days (with the exception of February) calculated to fit within the tropical year of 365 days. The Chinese and Hebrew calendars are luni-solar calendars that use 12 lunar months of 29 to 30 days, inserting intercalary months at various intervals in order to stay synchronized within a few weeks of the tropical year.
The Hijri calendar operates purely on a lunar system of time reckoning, with 12 months of 29 or 30 days, but with no attempt to reconcile this system with the tropical year.
Because of this, the Hijri calendar year is consistently shorter than the Gregorian year by 10 to 11 days per cycle, resulting in months that have no fixed relationship with the seasons from one year to the next. The advantage of this system, however, is its extreme regularity when compared to the other calendar systems.
In the standardized Hijri calendar, months alternate between 29 and 30 days, with a base year of 354 days, known as a common year. This approximates the lunar cycle to 29.5 days, which is extremely close to the actual lunar cycle of 29.53 days.
Because of this discrepancy of 0.03 days in the calculation of the lunar cycle, occasionally there are years with an additional day — 355 instead of 354 — to make up the shortfall. These years are known as abundant years, and in each Hijri 30-year cycle, there are 19 common years and 11 abundant years.
The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda Hijri Perpetual Calendar takes all this into account, with its innovative mechanism developed entirely in-house as a result of Michel Parmigiani’s work with an antique Arabic calendar pocket watch.
The counter at 12 o’clock displays the 30-year cycle, with abundant years indicated in sand-colored script. The counter at 3 o’clock displays, using a hand, the month of the Islamic calendar, with the holy month of Ramadan indicated in red script. At 6 o’clock, an aventurine moon disc with polished moons shows the phase of the moon in the Northern Hemisphere.
Finally, the counter at 9 o’clock displays the date, with a circular aperture revealing a white marker if the month has 29 days and a sand-colored marker if the month has 30 days.

Swiss high-end watch manufacture Parmigiani Fleuier has announced its collaboration with the Armani Group for the creation of the Giorgio Armani Fine Watches collection, which will be on sale from November 2021.
The two institutions – one Italian and the other Swiss – come together for the first time to give life to a series of sophisticated timepieces crafted entirely by hand and offered in numbered editions: a testament to Giorgio Armani’s constant pursuit for exclusive luxury objects.
Founded in 1996, Parmigiani Fleurier is imbued with the creative genius of its founder, Michel Parmigiani, a master watchmaker and restorer who combines Italian aesthetic flair with Swiss precision.
Renowned for its top-quality watches – each component of which is crafted in its own workshops – Parmigiani Fleurier conveys the aesthetic and creative spirit of Giorgio Armani in the outstanding craftsmanship of each timepiece.
The watches, designed by Giorgio Armani in collaboration with Michel Parmigiani, will be produced in Switzerland by Parmigiani Fleurier and sold exclusively in select Giorgio Armani boutiques.
Parmigiani Fleurier expands their New Tonda GT Line by adding a new model Tonda GT Steel Silver. Its silver color dial features “Clou triangulaire” guilloche decoration, blue PVD plated appliqués and delta-shaped hands. The appliqués as well as the hands of hour and minute are treated with blue luminescent coating.
The beauty of the guilloche decoration shines through on the dials, which have a big date aperture at 12 o’clock and a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock.
This stainless steel timepiece is powered by the PF044 automatic movement, which is finely finished, has a power reserve of 45 hours, and is water resistant to 100m. The watch comes with a stainless steel bracelet. The Tonda GT Steel Silver model easily transforms into a sportier watch when paired with its blue rubber strap.
The Tonda GT Steel Silver limited to 250 pieces. Introduced this year along with the Tondagraph GT watch, the Tonda GT line also offers the Tonda GT Black and the Tonda GT Rose Gold Blue models.

Swiss luxury watch maker Parmigiani Fleurier presents Tondagraph GT Rose Gold Blue, a new addition to its Tonda GT collection.
The Tondagraph GT Rose Gold Blue features a polished and satin-finished bracelet and a 42 mm case, both made in 18-ct solid rose gold.
The fluted bezel is inspired by Michel Parmigiani’s first watch model, the Toric collection. The case’s foundation comes from the award winning Tonda Chronor Anniversaire watch, for which the Manufacture received the Chronograph Watch Prize from the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève in 2017. Introduced in 2016, the Tonda Chronor Anniversaire watch features the Maison’s first-ever in-house integrated chronograph- the PF361 caliber.
The Tondagraph GT Rose Gold Blue timepiece houses the new PF071 movement, a COSC certified, automatic integrated chronograph with large date, based on the foundation of the original PF361 and featuring several impressive elements.
One column wheel instead of a cam: The movement is organized around a central column wheel serving as the main center of the chronograph. This component is particularly difficult to create and master, making it smoother to operate while at the same time maximizing what we call the chronograph’s activation ergonomics.
A vertical clutch instead of a horizontal clutch: The vertical clutch is more accurate than a horizontal clutch and it is also much more difficult to create. It boosts the accuracy of the timepiece by enabling the chronograph to start immediately and without the slightest initial jolt.
A balance secured by a cross-through bridge, instead of a single attachment point, known as the “cock”: The balance, the component regulating the movement, is more stable and robust with the double attachment point on the cross-bridge. This attachment minimizes the effect of impactsto the balance with gold inertia blocks and has been designed so that its height can be adjusted and adapted precisely to the rest of the movement.
36,000 vibrations per hour: The higher the oscillating frequency, the more accurate the chronograph. In-house integrated chronographs are rare; it is even rarer for them to beat at a 5 hertz frequency. This means that the chronograph’s seconds hand makes 10 jumps or “steps” per second, making it accurate to the nearest 10th of a second. Most other chronographs only make 8 jumps per second, making it 25% less accurate.
In addition, the dial displays all relevant information in a legible yet sophisticated manner via a small second subdials, two more for the chronograph function, a big date aperture at 12 o’clock and delta-shaped hands with black luminescent coating indicating the hours and minutes.
The big date aperture is also integrated into the movement rather than added as an additional module so as to retain technical reliability, a technical feat of its own considering the spatial constrains involved. Parmigiani Fleurier therefore had to maximize the usable space on the caliber’s surface to house the 13 mm disks.
The high-quality finishing and decorations of the movement may be admired from the open case back of the watch. All Parmigiani Fleurier movements feature chamfering and polishing done by hand. In this special caliber all parts are decorated by hand on visible surfaces, while the non-visible parts are sandblasted.
The bridges, wheels, springs, levers, and other miniscule components receive tremendous attention- the hallmark of a Parmigiani Fleurier haute horlogerie piece. The PF071 features a sunray satin pattern and a 22-ct solid gold oscillating weight. All these elements, along with the “angel wing” bridges, contribute to the intrinsic beauty of the movement.
As with its Tonda GT predecessors, Parmigiani Fleurier worked with Dino Modolo to reimagine the design while still adhering to the Parmigiani Fleurier ethos, rooted in Michel Parmigiani’s admiration of the golden ratio.
The updated teardrop-shaped lugs perfectly follow the lines of its integrated bracelet for a seamless look. The dial is finished with traditional “clou triangulaire” guilloche, further accentuated by its vibrant blue color. The finishing motif continues through the alternate, sportier blue rubber strap, making it a watch one can wear on any occasion.
Long revered among collectors, Parmigiani Fleurier continues to showcase its manufacturing prowess and commitment to excellence, this time with a contemporary approach to casual wear. From the screws to the balance spring and the all-important regulating organ- the escapement- to the case and dial, the watch is manufactured within the vertically integrated walls of the Parmigiani Fleurier family of factories. Only the hands, sapphire crystal and rubber strap are made by other trusted partners.
The Tondagraph GT Rose Gold Blue is limited to only 25 pieces.

Parmigiani Fleurier expands its popular Tonda collection by adding a sportier, everyday watch model, the new Tonda GT line.
Parmigiani Fleurier’s dress watches have long been revered among collectors for their elegance and fine craftsmanship, the result of its in-house manufacturing prowess combined with Michel Parmigiani’s master watchmaking talent and commitment to excellence. This commitment continues in this new introduction, a line designed to appeal to the modern gentleman looking for a watch he can wear on every occasion.
The new Tonda GT Line offers three distinct sporty, yet elegant timepieces in polished and satin-finished stainless steel or 18-ct rose gold, embodying Parmigiani’s years of expertise and design ethos following golden ratio parameters.
The case shape is inspired by the Tonda Chronor watch, which was awarded the Chronograph Watch Prize from the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève in 2017. Parmigiani Fleurier worked with watch designer, Dino Modolo, to reinterpret its design codes, resulting in a reimagined case with updated lugs and an integrated bracelet ergonomically designed for ultimate comfort.
Its fluted bezel recalls another Parmigiani Fleurier icon- the Toric collection- and the dials are finished with traditional “cloutriangulaire” guilloché. All watches are available on a polished and satin-finished bracelet or on a rubber strap with a motif that recalls the finishing on the dial.
The Tondagraph GT is powered by the PF043 automatic caliber and combines two useful complications- an annual calendar and a chronograph.
The dial displays a wealth of information and remains legible: it has delta-shaped hands with black luminescent coating indicating hours and minutes, a small second, two subdials for the chronograph function, and a big date aperture at 12 o’clock. To draw attention to the annual calendar function, the date and month are displayed in a vibrant orange color.
This impressive watch is water resistant to 100m, has a screw-down crown, a 45-hour power reserve, and is finely finished with Côtes de Genève stripes visible through the open caseback. The Tondagraph GT is limited to 200 pieces.
Two additional models will accompany this new launch, the Tonda GT Black and the Tonda GT Rose Gold Blue. The beauty of the guilloche decoration shines through on these dials, which have a big date aperture at 12 o’clock and a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock.
They are powered by the PF044 automatic movement, which is finely finished, has a power reserve of 45 hours, and is water resistant to 100m via a screw-down crown.
The 18-ct rose-gold model is particularly stunning when paired with its sporty blue rubber strap matching the dial and the Tonda GT Steel easily transforms into a sportier watch when paired with its black rubber strap.
The Tonda GT Rose Gold Blue is limited to 150 pieces, while the steel model is limited to 250 pieces.
This new ladies’ watch from Parmigiani Fleurier features a polished white gold case fully set with 665 diamonds and a full set dial adorned with 714 diamonds. Both front and case-back glasses are made from sapphire. The watch houses a COSC certified automatic movement with a power reserve of 55 hours.
The Caliber PF342 with its “Côtes de Genève» decoration, beveled bridges, circular graining plate and a 22-ct solid gold rotor with “Grain d’Orge” guilloche embellishment, can be admired through the sapphire crystal case-back.
The snow-set dial displays hours, minutes and central seconds. Both hour and minute hands have skeleton delta-shape.
This new Kalpa Kalparisma watch for women is worn on a Hermès Black alligator strap with 18-ct white gold pin buckle set with 112 diamonds.

This latest horological marvel from Parmigiani Fleurier’s Tonda 1950 series highlights a mesmerizing flying tourbillon on an aventurine dial adorned by a gem studded lunar rainbow bezel. This ultra-thin ladies watch re-imagines a lunar rainbow, or moonbow, on the bezel and a spiral galaxy on the dial.
Its flying tourbillon is reminiscent of a spiral galaxy and dances amid celestial beings on an aventurine sky, carefully placed at seven o’clock, a nod to Michel Parmigiani’s birth on December 2, 1950 at 7:08 am.
The development of an ultra-thin tourbillon movement is a challenge for any watchmaker.
Parmigiani Fleurier found a solution by integrating a platinum micro-rotor into the plate of the movement, resulting in a caliber only 3.4 mm thick. In addition, it is hand-finished with the most admirable decorations in the brand’s manufacture.
This magnificent example of mechanical engineering is further highlighted by a bezel featuring a colorful array of precious stones representing a moonbow, a nocturnal weather phenomenon rarely seen. Incredible care went into the selection of the finest stones, each in the perfect hue, to offer a truly gradient rainbow, with subtle changes in between colors. The meticulous art of setting them required dozens of hours of painstaking and precise craftsmanship.
Blue, pink, orange and yellow sapphires, rubies, tsavorites, and amethysts make up the 40 baguette-cut gemstones seen on the bezel and weighing 2.59 carats.
The Tonda 1950 Moonbow is available with a red, blue or gold Hermès leather strap.

A passionate admirer of Japanese culture, it was only natural for Michel Parmigiani to design a very elegant timepiece to celebrate hanami, the Japanese custom of admiring the beauty of flowers, in his own unique way.
The new Toric Fleur, presented in a rose gold case made entirely within the Parmigiani Fleurier watchmaking center, features a delicate lace design of marguerites on its dial. A long-time student of nature and the golden ratio, he was inspired by the subtle grace of this flower as seen in the meadows of the Swiss Jura.
Featuring a rose gold case in 33.7 mm, it is fitted with the subtly knurled bezel typical of the Toric collection. Arabic figures indexes are applied on the white mother of pearl dial, while the delicate gold lace design evokes a carpet of marguerites adorning the Swiss valleys in Spring.
Driven by the automatic in-house calibre PF310, the leaf-shaped hands with luminescent material, another tribute to nature, indicate the hours and minutes. The small seconds hand appears at six o’clock.
The sapphire crystal case back offers a captivating spectacle, the Côtes de Genève bridges are shaped like a hand fan while the gold rotor is delicately engraved with a barley grain motif.
A white opal cabochon graces the crown of this watch, which comes together with a calf oakum Hermès leather strap.

Parmigiani Fleurier expands their Toric collection by presenting a new tourbillon watch.
The ultra-thin PF517 movement, comprising a platinum micro-rotor, bridges with côtes de Genève decoration, and flying tourbillon, was developed following in-depth studies by the Manufacture’s master watchmakers.
To keep the piece as slim as possible, the tourbillon was in fact integrated in the movement’s main plate. The position of the tourbillon at 7 o’clock on the dial is a nod to the brand’s founder, Michel Parmigiani, who was born at 7:08 am on December 2nd, 1950.
The tourbillon’s captivating and hypnotic movement is in harmony with the barley grain guilloché pattern of the slate-colored dial and is housed within a rose gold case inspired by Ancient Greek Doric columns and features a gaudron and knurling bezel.
The color of the javelin shaped hour and minute hands echoes the rose gold of the case. The watch comes with a Hermès Havane leather strap.
The Toric was the first watch case designed by Michel Parmigiani, first introduced in 1996 for the launch of the brand that nowadays bears his name. This new tourbillon piece joins other haute horlogerie pieces in the Toric collection and represent lifelong lessons in this master watchmaker’s career and background in restoration.

Following the launch of the Tonda 1950 Rainbow, Parmigiani Fleurier presents its new creation: the Tonda 1950 Flying Tourbillon Double Rainbow. This haute horlogerie timepiece, driven by the in-house ultra-thin PF517 movement, features a double gradient of extraordinary colours and represents a fine example of Parmigiani Fleurier’s skill in marrying the arts of watchmaking and jewellery.
Parmigiani Fleurier found a solution by integrating a platinum micro-rotor into the plate of the movement, resulting in a caliber only 3.4 mm thick. In addition, it is hand-finished with the most admirable decorations in the brand’s manufacture.
