The Tonda PF Micro-Rotor No Date, the breathtaking new watch from Swiss luxury watchmaker Parmigiani Fleurier, is a purist’s delight.
Parmigiani Fleurier CEO Guido Terrini said that every choice made by the company in the creation of the watch had been guided by an unwavering commitment to aesthetic purity.
“In the creation of the new Tonda PF Micro-Rotor No Date, we endeavoured to offer to ‘the purist of the purists’ an object that embodies absolute clarity,” he explained.
“Every element of this timepiece reflects our vision of discreet and timeless refinement.
“From the deliberate absence of visual complications to the meticulous selection of ‘Golden Siena’ dial nuances, each choice is guided by an unwavering commitment to aesthetic purity.”
Elegance And Refined Discretion
Stripping the watch of everything superfluous, leaving only the essential: the Tonda PF Micro-Rotor initiated a quest for absolute aesthetic perfection the moment it launched in September 2021: tight, integrated lines; superlative finishes; automatic micro-rotor movement.
The Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Collection affirms Parmigiani Fleurier’s strong identity of elegance and refined discretion. Each new model embodies this modern design template.
The collection’s latest addition, the Tonda PF Micro-Rotor No Date continues in the same clean, minimalist aesthetic. Reflecting the House’s functional and chromatic style, combining high-end finishes with exceptional watchmaking work, it is an object strongly in demand by watch purists.
To meet the expectations of true purists of watchmaking design, Parmigiani Fleurier chose to give the ‘Golden Siena’ dial time indications but no date window. Nothing is left to chance, but always correlated with great attention to harmony between form and function.
Golden Siena
The colour of the Golden Siena dial has an elegant appeal and a vibe of warm serenity. In its quest to be distinctive, Parmigiani Fleurier created a shade with moiré effects directly inspired by the rich ‘sienna’ palette, thus celebrating the subtle nuances and natural essence of the earth.
Long a favorite of elite brands, this refined and elegant hue goes perfectly with the masculine wardrobe.
In line with the brand’s highest standards, the dial is embellished by a hand-made guilloché with a Grain d’Orge motif.
Very small in size to the point of requiring extreme visual attention to appreciate its fine and delicate texture, the dial plate’s guilloché pattern provides a large surface area for the watch hands.
Loyal to its quest for ultimate purity, Parmigiani Fleurier has removed the date window to retain only the essential functions of hour and minutes.
In reinterpreting the principles of watchmaking classicism in a very modern way, the Golden Siena fulfills the pursuit for essential clarity that is the signature of Parmigiani Fleurier.
The Micro-Rotor: The Prerogative Of A Watchmaking Elite
The case and bracelet design embellish the dial and the 3.07mm-thick PF703 caliber with automatic winding by micro-rotor is decorated in accordance with the rules of watchmaking excellence for the utmost in elegant finesse.
The micro-rotor option, complex in its creation, remains the prerogative of top-flight watch brands. This small oscillating weight in platinum ensures high density and mobility and is fully integrated into the thickness of the movement, unlike a classic, half-moon-shaped rotor, which would have covered it.
This more sophisticated construction allows a significant reduction in the thickness of the watch. The Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Golden Siena measures just 7.8mm on the wrist for maximum comfort and elegance. Much of the finishing is done by hand, following the intangible rules of high-level watchmaking craftsmanship.
A luminous watch that is much more than a timepiece, the Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Golden Siena exemplifies watchmaking sophistication, imbued with the serenity that makes discreet refinement the ultimate contemporary cardinal value.
