The ParmigianiFleurier Tonda PF collection represents a step in a new direction for the brand.

On that note, for those who might have tumbled into the virtues of Parmigiani Fleurier recently, it is worth considering the brands accomplishments, briefly. As far as being a vertically integrated manufacture, some observers have compared Parmigiani Fleurier’s ability to do all the important work of watchmaking with that of Rolex.
The fine finish on calibre PF703 demonstrates the manufacture’s commitment to raise the stakes in the sports elegance segment. Image: CHING@GREENPLASTICSOLDIERS This point got us more interested in Terreni’s direct involvement in the development of the Tonda PF, which seems a little incredulous because the collection must have been in the works for some time before Terreni took the reins at Parmigiani Fleurier. Not for the first time, we were completely wrong because Terreni is indeed the driving force behind the collection.
“The creative process of the Tonda PF went smoothly. Design was validated in the hard milestones on February 19, leaving finishings and dial colours to be finalised in parallel during the development. The first prototypes saw the light March 8, and the whole collection was finalised at the end of June, and presented with production pieces in Geneva Watch Days on August 30; deliveries to clients started in the second half of October.
In fact, when we saw this watch for the first time during Geneva Watch Days, we had to be reminded that manufacture has used this retrograde date function previously for the annual calendar — we only recalled the Toric model, as seen here but that is a dual time watch. Our own archives show that the annual calendar with retrograde date first appeared on the Quator model in 2011 and a previous Tonda in 2018 .
