Parmigiani Fleurier, renowned for its discreet luxury and natural elegance, introduces the Tonda PF Sport line, adding a touch of sophistication to modern sporty lifestyles. The new line features two models: the Tonda PF Sport Chronograph and the Tonda PF Sport Automatic.
The Tonda PF Sport line caters to individuals who appreciate sport as a form of leisure, freedom, and personal pleasure rather than competitive pursuits. These timepieces are designed to seamlessly transition from the business week to the weekend, embodying relaxed confidence and effortless elegance.
Both the Tonda PF Sport Chronograph and Tonda PF Sport Automatic come in a choice of steel or 18-karat pink gold cases. With diameters of 42mm for the Chronograph and 41mm for the Automatic, these models are highly wearable and versatile. Whether worn on a bare wrist or under a shirt cuff, they exude a casual sporting-chic identity.
Distinctive elements of the Tonda PF Sport line include the bezel, dial, and strap. The knurled bezel, with 160 incisions in the Chronograph and 225 incisions in the Automatic, creates a captivating play of light and reflection, emphasizing its sportier character. The dial features a hand-guilloché ‘triangular nail’ pattern, adding a richly textured surface decoration that enhances the interplay of light.
The hour markers are coated with black SuperLuminova, ensuring optimal legibility. The strap, made of Cordura-treated rubber, is meticulously handcrafted and seamlessly integrated into the case, providing a comfortable fit. Both watches are water-resistant up to 100 meters.
In line with Parmigiani Fleurier’s commitment to discretion, the Tonda PF Sport models feature a discreet logo and date window. The small PF medallion is positioned at 12 o’clock, while the date window is located at 6 o’clock on the Automatic and 4:30 on the Chronograph.
The technical excellence of the Tonda PF Sport line matches its sport-chic aesthetics. The Tonda PF Sport Chronograph houses the Caliber PF070, a high-frequency (5Hz – 36,000 vph) manufacture movement with an integrated column wheel chronograph and vertical clutch. This COSC-certified movement ensures precision and offers a generous power reserve of 65 hours. It retails for $50,200 in gold and $29,000 in stainless steel.
The Tonda PF Sport Automatic is equipped with the Caliber PF770, featuring a double barrel that provides a power reserve of 60 hours. Operating at a frequency of 4Hz (28,800 vph), this movement offers exceptional accuracy. The Automatic retails for $38,200 in gold and $21,300 in steel.
Both movements and their components are meticulously designed, produced, and assembled in Parmigiani Fleurier’s own ateliers. The movements can be admired through the sapphire casebacks, showcasing exquisite hand-finishing, beveled edges, and Côtes de Genève decoration. The 22-karat pink gold skeletonized winding rotor bears the Maison’s signature touch.
The Tonda PF Sport Chronograph and Tonda PF Sport Automatic capture the essence of Parmigiani Fleurier, blending sporty spirit with the refinement of the PF collection. These timepieces transcend daily routines, allowing wearers to embrace active leisure time. Blurring the boundaries between formality and informality, they embody modern chic. With generous power reserves, they are perfect companions for long weekend getaways or extended escapes.
Parmigiani Fleurier’s Tonda PF Sport line sets a new standard in luxury sports watches, combining elegance, craftsmanship, and technical excellence. The collection’s timeless appeal resonates with individuals who appreciate the fusion of style and functionality, catering to the needs of today’s sporty lifestyles.
