Amongst the numerous independent brands within the watchmaking industry, few can create entirely new designs destined to become as popular as the Tonda PF collection. Since its launch in 2021, Parmigiani Fleurier's Tonda PF line has grown to possess a cult following that has permeated the boundary of people "in the know" and has converted a new customer to the Flurier-based brand. This Chronograph variant of the Tonda PF houses the caliber PF070, a pure and unadulterated horological delight. Caliber PF070 resulted from years of development to create a fully integrated column wheel chronograph with a high-frequency beat rate of 5hz and a considerable power reserve.

For someone seeking a daily wearable independent sports watch, the Tonda PF Chronograph fits the bill and then some. A discrete and "quiet luxury" for the wearer to appreciate privately without prying eyes.

WORTH READING

Everywhere the eye lands on a Tonda PF, there’s a particular texture, form, and detail to be seen and enjoyed. This is not ornament, ostentation, or opulence. This is 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. Like in a Neapolitan or Sicilian workshop, these are entirely focused on silhouette, fluidity, proportions, and taste. Like any jacket that originates in those institutions of male elegance, the Tonda PF is tailored to withstand the passing of time and trends and remain.

Its specific hands are made of solid gold. Slim and long, they’re almost entirely open-worked and of a 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.

ABOUT PARMIGIANI FLEURIER

The Parmigiani Fleurier brand - a watch-making adventure that transcends the mundane - was created in Fleurier in 1996 and was guided by the passion of a man who remained faithful to the very essence of the watchmaker. Michel Parmigiani, master horologist, renowned restorer, and talented creator of mechanical time-keepers, dedicates his knowledge, which has been enriched by past and present teachings, to the benefit of the brand.

The Sandoz Family Foundation, who had tasked a young Michel Parmigiani to lead the restoration of their horological artifact collection, became interested in bringing Parmigiani's masterful work to the consumer market. In 1996, with the backing of the Sandoz Foundation, Parmigiani Fleurier was able to fit out its manufacturing workshops with the means to produce exceptionally high-quality goods. In less than 10 years, it achieved near complete vertical integration, and the industrial equipment deployed constitutes one of the rarest and most complete manufacturing workshops in Switzerland. The very essence of haute horology, such as attention to detail or the beauty of the embellishment of a simple or highly complicated movement, is the subject of great attention at Parmigiani Fleurier and is the reason for its international recognition.
