A STUNNER
The manufacture invites to discover charming upgrades in its collection launched back in 1996. All the models seek to redefine the criteria of modern-day gentleman style.
Is elegance a universal concept? Well, although it’s impossible to answer this clearly, Parmigiani gives us food for thought with its new Toric Petite Seconde watch. Its resolutely sophisticated 40.6 mm-diameter, 8.80 mm-thick case, crafted in 18 karat rose gold or in platinum, and decorated with a knurled bezel, hosts a beveled dial boasting a pared-down, vintage-looking scenescape. Each of the versions, which come in almond green or sand gold, delight with their ever-so delicate visual impact. What’s more, the hand-grained finish infuses the surface with a matte texture which enhances the model’s graceful personality. No room for an overladen hour chapter here! Ever-so low-key markers take to the stage hovered over by a pair of finely-tapered hands. A discreet small seconds set at 6 o’clock completes the time data. The composition diffuses timeless esthetic harmony.
The warm-hued precious metal which fashions this reference’s case is also used to create the bridges and disc for the PF780 caliber. This manual-winding movement, assembled using some 157 components, unveils its one-of-a-kind graphical Côtes de Fleurier decorations as well as its two barrels via its sapphire-crystal caseback. It goes without saying, performance is the name of the game. The slim 3.15 mm-high mechanism delivers a power reserve of 60 hours. To create the perfect match, the Toric Petite Seconde is complemented by a beige or brown nubuck strap, depending on the version chosen. Impeccable through and through!
