Tonda 1950 diamond set
When Parmigiani Fleurier launched the outstanding classic extra-thin tonda 1950 Watch in 2010, the intention Was alWays For this model to house several neW executions including, oF course, a Women’s version. In 2012, Parmigiani Fleurier is proud to present the new diamond-set Tonda 1950, with a bezel featuring 84 diamonds, delicately integrated without altering the elegant profile of the piece or disturbing its harmonious proportions. Just like its predecessor – the Tonda 1950 – the new diamond-set Tonda 1950 embodies the stylistic essence of Parmigiani Fleurier, stripped down to the brand’s signature codes, and nothing more. The thin, slender profile with the two emblematic lugs; the cut round crown; the delta-shaped hands. The ultra-thin automatic movement is 30 mm (13 1⁄4 lignes) in diameter and 2.6 mm thick – dimensions so compact, in fact, that a large number of future aesthetic, and even mechanical, variations are possible without affecting the fine profile of the case, which measures barely 7.80 mm and 39 mm in diameter. With an autonomy of 42 hours, the movement has an off-centred micro-oscillating weight in platinum 950 to guarantee its inertia. Indicating the hours, minutes and small seconds, the graphite or white grained dial displays its twelve time zone indexes with
understated grace. The principle behind its sophistication? a fundamental beauty, both femi- nine and timeless. The movement offers the finest haute horlogerie finishing you would expect from Parmigiani Fleurier, and ones which very few brands would apply to such a mechanism. The nickel silver main plate is sand-blasted, circular-grained and then rhodium-plated. The bridges are sand-blasted, drawn out or “Côtes de Genève” decorated, then bevelled by hand and, finally, rhodium-plated. Also note the attractive finish of each wheel, bevelled, sunk, circular-grained on both faces, then gilded before cutting. The high standard of finish on each component is the result of a unique dovetailing of the different centres of competence that make up the Parmigiani Fleurier Manufacture (The Watchmaking Manufactures of the Foundation), ensuring that each calibre produced is of the very highest quality. The movement and the entire exterior of the new diamond-set Tonda 1950 are created entirely in-house, right up to the dial indexes.
