Parmigiani fleurier CEO Guido Terrreni is the number behind the publication of the Pf in the sound In 2021 a sophisticated interpretation of the luxury sports watch, which is characterized by understatement, elegance and fine craftsmanship. Terreni has brought his Italian flair to the table since the first day and emphasized the “Sartorial love for detail” of the collection, which manifests itself in subtle textures, surfaces and colors. Parmigiani is ready for the long summer days and nights and releases a stylish edition of his Tonda PF Sport Chronograph in rose gold with warm Mediterranean sandstone poles (without date window!) And a tuff-colored rubber belt.
The Tonda PF Sport was planned as a replacement for the Tonda GT collection and was introduced in 2023. While she is borrowing strongly from Tonda Pf -Design -Cues, it is equipped with a sportier, resilient character. The new Tonda PF Sport Chronograph in Roségold is a pretty “weekend guard” and offers the typical pawn of the Tonda PF, but is not made in platinum and has fewer cuts (160 compared to 225), which gives the clock a brave person.
The first steel edition of the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda Pf Sport Chronograph
The beautiful, tear-shaped tabs and chronograph pushers refer to the Tonda PF, but the dimensions of the housing 42 mm x 12.9 mm-Sind intentionally sporty (not to be confused with the first 42 mm-tonda pf-chronograph or the new, more compact 40 mm-tonda PF-Chronograph without date). In combination with an enlarged measuring crown for a better handle, the housing is decorated with alternating brushed and polished surfaces and is water -resistant at 100 meters.
The blue, gray and arctic blue expenses
Based on the changing seasons, the classicer two-color versions of the Tonda PF Sport chronographs in rose gold and stainless steel were accompanied by editions with blue, Gray and Arctic Blue counters and an avant-garde-ultra cream model published this year. With the exception of the Ultra-Cermet references, all PF Sport Chronographs with Panda-style dials have light backgrounds and contrasting points.
Instead of the classic barley motif of the Tonda PF, the PF Sport has a clou -triangularaire or a triangular nail -Guilloché motif. The silver Guilloché background houses three slightly built-in sub-dials in a subtle but warm sandstone color that corresponds to the peripheral minutes/second track. The short, hand-planned rosé gold indices are treated with black super luminova, with the luminescent tips of the golden, opened delta-shaped hour and tiny hands. A novelty that many fans of PF is liked is the lack of a date window that used to be positioned on the dial at 4:30 a.m. The only branding that is visible on the dial is the elegant rosé gold oval Pf -Kartusche, which is applied at 12 noon.
All Tonda PF sports models are equipped with rubber belts. As you can imagine, there is a lot of thought that your design creates a “Sartorial” cheat belt that looks more elegant than conventional, injected straps. In accordance with the warm summer spirit of the watch, the color tufo or tuff selected for the belt – the porous, pale rock, which is formed by volcanic ash, which is plentiful in Mediterranean landscapes. The high -quality rubber has a woven textile surface that resembles Cordura.
While the general mood of this watch conveys an airy, summer atmosphere with light, off-white tones, it is easy to forget that it is a very competent, high-frequency chronograph that is powered by the automatic PF070. In cooperation with the sister company Vaucher Manufacture, the movement has a modern, relatively compact 30.6 mm construction with a thickness of 6.95 mm. Equipped with a column wheel, a vertical coupling and a one-piece reset hammer, it beats with a high frequency of 5 Hz and delivers a robust 65-hour electricity reserve. COSC certified chronometer is beautifully made by hand and has a solid 22 km rotor from rose gold.
