Parmigiani Fleurier Premiers Minute Rattrapante Inside Tonda PF Assortment

In contrast to most watches sporting a bezel, you received’t discover outsized, lume crammed markers and fingers, relatively the straightforward elegant formed we’re accustomed to seeing from Parmigiani. It is a elegant trying watch. The dial stays almost sterile, save for polished hour markers sneaking into the dial on the perimeter, and a delicate minute chapter ring framing the grain d’orge guilloché textured dial. Which means legibility of the timing fingers and minute markers is not going to be on par with one thing a Tudor diver, however the Parmigiani isn’t precisely meant for excessive conditions, both. Satirically, each would doubtless find yourself being utilized in comparable day after day conditions for many of us, so it actually boils all the way down to style (and price range). 

The GMT Rattrapante featured a wonderful blue dial, providing a beautiful little bit of distinction with the gold GMT parts. This 12 months, the Minute Rattrapante will get a considerably monotone colour scheme with the identical sandy grey dial colour that we noticed within the new 36mm Tonda, a watch we went hands-on with right here. As stylish as this colorway is, some distinction would have been a welcome addition to the watch, ideally within the type of colour to carry some vibrancy to the design, to not point out help within the sensible division, as properly. 

The metal 40mm case falls very a lot in step with what we noticed within the GMT Rattrapante, and even manages to stay below 11mm in complete thickness. There may be an exhibition caseback providing a view to Parmigiani’s PF052 micro-rotor computerized motion, which is completed fantastically. 

Total, it is a enjoyable complication that’s been executed in a relatively entertaining and revolutionary method. An equally thrilling colorway would have been welcome, however I wouldn’t rule something out, given the updates seen throughout the Tonda assortment that embrace vibrant reds and blues, to not point out completely different supplies comparable to rose gold. Because it sits right here, the Tonda PF Minute Rattrapante is priced at CHF 28,000. Parmigiani Fleurier
