01. Parmigiani Tonda 1950
The Tonda is a tribute to Parmigiani founder Michel Parmigiani and its concept is back to the basic codes that are essential to the Parmigiani brand – an aesthetic purity defined by just the key markers of time: hours; minutes; and seconds.
Another important concept is that of flatness. The Tonda measures just 7.8mm thick thanks to the development of Parmigiani’s 13th in-house caliber, an ultra-thin automatic movement with a micro-rotor and measuring just 2.6mm in height. The movement features a solid platinum rotor and is viewable through its sapphire case back.
The Tonda is complimented by a brown or black alligator strap and comes in 18K rose or white gold with an entirely polished finish. A grained white dial compliments the rose gold version and a graphite toned and textured one compliments the white gold version.
Measuring 39mm, the Tonda is a fine example of the dress watch genre, and one of the few high-end dress watches with lumed hands. Retailing for about $20,000. parmigiani.ch
