Parmigiani Fleurier has unveiled the Tonda PF Sport Chronograph. This follows a month and a half after Watches and Wonders Geneve 2024, where they launched few impressive timepieces.
The Tonda PF Sport Chronograph features a COSC-certified in-house automatic movement, a stainless-steel case, and available in three versions: Milano Blue, Arctic Grey, and London Grey. Each features an abundance of dial, case, and movement details. The Tonda PF Sport Chronograph is a superb and versatile haute-horology timepiece, equally at ease in a casual or formal setting.
The Tonda PF Sport Chronograph is “a sports watch in its essence and nature, but whose appearance and treatment place it more on the side of elegant watches reserved for purists. The Tonda PF Sport Chronograph 2024 is adorned with fresh and refined colours and compelling contrasts between dials, counters and bracelets. Sporty certainly in terms of functions, but ever so casual and chic in terms of overall aesthetics.”
