Parmigiani’s Toric collection contains models with busy, colorful dials and complications like minute repeaters and tourbillons. This Parmigiani Fleurier Toric Chronometre goes back to the roots of Parmigiani, in 1996, when the brand was founded: a simple visualization of the time.

The new model is available in either white gold or rose gold with a black or white dial. The black dial has an opaline finish. The white dial is grained, which means the surface is hand-brushed with a silver powder mixture to get a captivating texture. The only element that stands out is the large, curved aperture of the date. The background color of the date contrasts with the dial color.

The Parmigiani Fleurier Toric Chronometre offers a power reserve of 55 hours

The bezel of the 40.8-millimeter case is inspired by, in short, “a Doric column from the ancient Greeks, a spiral-shaped pointed shell from Malaysia governed by a golden ratio”. A nice story no one would buy this watch for. It’s about looks (good!) and what’s inside.

Inside the Parmigiani Fleurier Toric Chronometre is a Côtes de Genève decorated caliber, the PF331. This automatic is COSC certified and has two barrels to provide a power reserve of 55 hours.

The Parmigiani Fleurier Toric Chronometre is a subtle and stylish dress watch with a clear Parmigiani signature. If you are looking for a more sportier one, take a look at this Parmigiani Fleurier Bugatti Aerolithe Performance.
