Adhering to the concept of purist watchmaking, Parmigiani Fleurier has always pursued technological innovation and artistic breakthroughs, using elegant and simple design language to interpret the endless charm of watch art. Following the launch of the Tonda PF series of split-seconds chronograph watches last year, the brand upgraded its classic functions this year and launched a new Tonda PF series of split-seconds chronograph watches. It combines the rattrapante concept with the timing function, subverting the previous tradition of counting down by turning the bezel, and unconventionally interpreting the countdown method.
This split-seconds chronograph watch incorporates a clever overlapping minute hand design and is a concept watch. Its dial is silvery sand gray, decorated with hand-engraved "lattice barley grain" guilloche pattern, decorated with rhodium-plated and 18K rose gold triangular hands, and 18K gold hand-set hour markers, giving the watch a unique look. An elegant and sophisticated style. The oval PF brand logo at noon is unique. The stainless steel case is paired with the iconic 950 platinum hand-knurled bezel, teardrop-shaped lugs and 18K rose gold buttons, revealing the beauty of simplicity and elegance, and containing endless charm. It's irresistible to collect and play with. Parmigiani Fleurier's design ingenuity and exquisite craftsmanship are evident from this, which perfectly embodies the principle of "returning to simplicity and returning to nature".
However, what really stands out about this watch is that it redefines the way time is measured in a world-first way. The watch is equipped with a complex function of hour hand jumping. By jumping the minute hand forward by 5 minutes and 1 minute, the minute time is measured. As long as the buttons at 8 o'clock and 10 o'clock are pressed, the 18K rose gold minute hand will jump forward by 5 minutes and 1 minute respectively. When the other rhodium-plated minute hand overlaps the rose gold minute hand, it means the countdown is complete. Pressing the crown button resets the chronograph minute hand. The working principle is exactly the same as the split-seconds chronograph hand. This unique and ingenious functional design makes this watch an innovative masterpiece in the field of timepieces.
The Tonda PF series split-seconds chronograph watch, with its simple and beautiful appearance and unique functions, demonstrates Parmigiani Fleurier's pursuit of excellence and ambition in the art of watchmaking. The appearance of this watch is bound to win the favor of purist aesthetic lovers. As for whether this unprecedented feature will become a trend-setting benchmark and trigger more innovations and breakthroughs in watch manufacturing, let us wait and see.
