PARMIGIANI FLEURIER
As expected, Parmigiani offered new variations on its subtly minimalist – though no less luxurious – Tonda PF theme at Watches and Wonders, most notably with the new GMT Rattrapante, which superficially resembles the two-hand-and-date micro-rotor model launched last year. Here, however, the date window has been deleted, while a second rose-gold 12-hour “home-time” hand has been added to the time display.
Operated by a rose-gold pusher in the crown and a further button at 8 o’clock, the white-gold hour hand either sits above its rose-gold equivalent while in home territory, or is moved around the dial in one-hour increments to display a second zone when travelling. On a graind’orge- pattern dial in Milano blue, the hour markers and brand logo are in applied white gold, while the 40 mm case and bracelet are in stainless steel with a knurled-edge platinum bezel. The PF051 automatic movement features a rose-gold micro-rotor and beats at 3Hz for a reserve of 48 hours.
