Travel is just a click away

A world premiere complication, the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante is a dual-time watch that operates with the sublime user-friendliness of a chronograph. The watch features two superimposed hour hands, one in rhodium-plated gold, the other in rose gold. Pressing a pusher at 8 o’clock moves the upper rhodium-plated gold hand forward in one-hour jumps to indicate the wearer’s local time, while the lower rose gold hand remains stationary to continue displaying the “home time” or reference time. Pressing the rose-gold pushbutton integrated into the watch’s crown instantly returns the rhodium-plated hand back to its original position — in the manner of a split-seconds chronograph hand — back atop the rose gold hand when the second time zone display is no longer required, as in when a traveler wearing the watch returns home. This highly useful complication distinguishes the Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante as an ideal watch for savvy globetrotters.

Inspired by Switzerland's verdant Verzasca Valley, the barleycorn guilloché pattern enhances the lush green dial and harmonizes elegantly with the sandblasted minutes track on its periphery. The overall refined visual effect is particularly striking under lighting at certain angles, which highlight the interaction between shiny and matte surfaces as well as the finely knurled details of the bezel, which has been forged from a single piece of platinum.

Like a tailor training his practiced eye on every fold of fabric, the watchmakers at Parmigiani Fleurier have left no detail of the Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante ignored: both sartorial and architectural in its approach to design, the Maison has ensured that the silhouette of the case is perfectly structured, with the lugs on the steel case middle flowing seamlessly into the bracelet’s side links. This subtle yet quintessential detail completes the watch’s solidly sophisticated character.
