One watch is "a watch" I should know, I was a one watch person for 30+ years [a GMT Master], two watches is "a pair" and it's at three or more curated watches that you begin to be a collector.
Incredibly underrated but incredibly pricey tho. Difficult to attract a wider audience when most would go back to your big Swiss brands like Rolex, Omega, Tudor, Patek, AP, etc
@@Bestow3000I have to agree with you there. Time only Tonda being what $20-30k is a tall order. At that point you’re coming close to a Lange 1 which is incredibly tough to compete with.
@@Oakley5100 Its way too tall of an order to price a time only stainless steel watch at such ludicrous numbers. They're trying to compete with big and established names. Its turning most consumers away.
Love the Pf Tonda line. The blue, grey, and gold dials are my favorite. Such an ingenious use of the rattrapante function. Have several GMTs so think I would prefer the one that jumps the minute hand. I know many would say it ruins the dial, but I find the date function on the grey and gold practical and subtle. I guess 60 is adequate for everyday use.
Thanks for highlighting this watch, Teddy!! This is the crown jewel in my collection! It was difficult to obtain, but that amount of effort might be what it makes it so special. Well, that AND just how remarkable the watch is!
I love GMT watches...and this would be a favorite of mine, having the clean and simple looks I'm after. Very elegant indeed! I will have to dream about it though...unfortunately.
@@DerFrange1 If it were a GMT watch it would have a 24 hour hand. This does not. How would you set this watch if local time was 6:00pm and GMT time was 6:00am the next day?
@@seanmiller7187yes its a gmt watch . This style of watch is called caller’s gmt . And the one which brands like rolex makes is called traveller’s gmt .
Thanks you Teddy and team for continuing to bring such great coverage of watches we would otherwise not have the opportunity to learn about. As a community, we are awash in reviews (some may say hype videos) covering the “hottest timepiece” of the moment. Your videos and blogs are a welcome counterpoint to this type of coverage. While there’s plenty of room for all creators, your approach of sharing offerings from micro to massive brands in every price category is refreshing. This Parmigiani is just another example of how many amazing choices are out there for enthusiasts at the moment. It is unique and brilliantly understated , much like the content you provide.
Thanks for finally and actually saying [at minute 8:31] what I've been telling other UA-camrs about this watch for months, that this is a DUAL Time watch and NOT a GMT. 🤔 That being said I do like this watch and love the brand, as I have a white gold Tonda 1950 dress watch, so I've put my money behind the brand. However, I really wish that they had either included an am/pm indicator for the second hour hand making it a more useful dual time or made the second hour hand a 24 hour one with an additional 12 gold markers [to match the hand] thereby actually making it a GMT function. I would have even been fine with them calling it a "Travel Time", like the PP Calatrava 5134G of the same name.
Thank you so much for this video! I have been absorbing all I can about Parmigiani since about January this year but have known them for over ten years. Glad to see you also love them!
That's honestly one of the coolest watches I've seen in a while! Wish I could afford it, so thanks for making a great video about it that I can drool over 🤤
That' a slick feature but does do the hand locations drift over time? The mechanical coupling of independent hour hands in my experience can drift with a year or two of use.
Hallo Teddy, I love that one can't see the 3rd dial, only when one needs to use it. Clever watch making. Thanks for the video and as always love from Switzerland 🇨🇭
That reset button in the crown seems superfluous. Even without it, it would easy enough to press the GMT button a few times (no more than 11 presses) to hide the gold hand.
Parmigiani is King Charles III' brand of choice. He was seen with a beautiful gold chronograph with a GMT sub-dial during the events following his mother's death, for instance.
I always was impressed with the Tonda, that dial reeks of quality, non ostentatious quality, quiet kinda confidence... A secret threat to some big players in the suisse manufactures in the vallée out there...!
I'd love this same functionality in a more sporty/rugged GMT, like a diver. So much more convenient and user friendly than fiddling with a crown. This is a beautiful watch but would feel conspicuous in a casual travel setting. Great business travel watch though. Great bracelet, but lacks a micro-adjustment which should be a given at that price point.
I love this watch and am so glad you decided to feature it. The watch is way above my price point however and I don‘t wear such dressy watches. Doesn’t stop me from being a bit admirer of this watch!
This is like the "split seconds" version of the GMT? It looks amazing and there isn't clutter around when you don't actually need the secondary function. Best of both worlds.
Stunning watch. Excellent watch brand, they make amazing calibres and now great design. One question: does the GMT function reset every time you do a press up?
It was a toss up between this GMT and the Minute Rattrapante for my next watch. I’m glad PF is seemingly finally getting the respect they were long due and Guido’s leadership really has gone a long way for improving brand image. I’m hoping that I get my hands on my PF this year.
It's not a GMT and while a novel idea, it's a lot to spend on a "dual time" watch. PF got lazy with this one, and calling it a GMT when it is not, does not make it so!
At 3:21 you misspoke it is the "Normal" silver hand which advances, sorry to be pedantic😎, I absolutely love this watch but my piggy bank is a little short at the moment😱 A true dress watch with no second hand.
Think that the parmigiani is a very beautifully crafted luxury timepiece. Would suit a gent who is very self assured and confident and doesn't need to be over the top.
I like these watches but I wish they had a second hand. Something about missing the second hand bugs me. To be honest, this watch reminds me of my horage supercede. It's got a skeletonized gmt hand that also can hide under the hour hand. It's also very similar in shape with the integrated bracelet and a microrotor. I will say though that the horage has a fantastic micro adjustment. It's one of my favorite implementations of micro adjustment.
I started to watching your videos , cause i want to buy a new watch. I really like your videos. Also would be nice to see some nice watches from brands like Festina, Invicta or Wenger. Those 3 are in quite same afforable segment 🙂
Agree that this way to display second time zone is very pure and seamless to operate. Not unique though, as PP has a similar movement on the travel times models, also displaying day/night for each hour hand
@390razr I am married 40 years. She went through serious health problems. I was looking to make her feel better. She doesn't know watches and thinks it is jewelry.
@@rickjason215 I was joking of course, and I am sorry to hear about her health issues and I am happy that she is recovering. Sometimes the husbands are watch enthusiasts and we try to push the hobby onto our wives. Get her something you know would make her truly happy as opposed to something you like (such as a watch) that she would not fully appreciate from a horological standpoint.
Beautiful luxury watch . The way they provide dual time is truly unique . It is very rare that somebody talk of PARMIGIANI . Is it because PARMIGIANI is designed for an elite (happy few) ????
It's not a GMT! It's a "dual time" complication, and they can be had for a lot less than the $28K asking price. My modded SKX007 with a dual time, 12-hour bezel will do essentially the same thing for $500. Oh, and as a professional world traveler for 40 years, I have just a little experience with this.
Really nice watch. Only 2 things about it I don't like. For me the hidden hand would need to be much darker, so that when not hidden the time is still is easily readable with 2 hands, and a subtle 3rd hand. In the video at least, it looks unreadable to me once all 3 hands are visible. The other thing I don't like is the price as I can't afford one ;)
$30,000 USD,. for that price you can get a Rolex that has 118 years of heritage made out of 18k Gold,. or a Pf made of stainless steel and 25 years of heritage...
Definitely a candidate for a one watch collection.
Only fuckers have one watch collection

How does one move a 30 minute increment? While setting a gmt arrangement?

Teddy, that Oris Big Crown Pointer Date looks great on you.
Beautiful!
I realize everything is subjective, but what is your honest opinion, in the $50,000 range, would you personally buy PF or Lange? Thank you
wow that is so cool, what a beautiful watch!
At 3:21 you misspoke it is the "Normal" silver hand which advances, sorry to be pedantic😎, I absolutely love this watch but my piggy bank is a little short at the moment😱 A true dress watch with no second hand.
The GMT is so nice, simple and clean
Now, my favorite GMT.
5:19 that's not a vertical brushed it's a horizontal.
Great piece indeed, but the crown button is redundant and sticks out - it takes at worst 11 lug button presses to reset to home as well.
This is a STUNNING piece
Think that the parmigiani is a very beautifully crafted luxury timepiece. Would suit a gent who is very self assured and confident and doesn't need to be over the top.
This is a neat watch. Super elegant and clever 👌
Now this is a minimalistic design done extremely well. This watch is too big and expensive for my taste, but beautiful, nonetheless. Very well done!!
Parmigiani Fleurier? Sounds like it would go good on pasta
Very expensive pasta. It had better come with truffles and gold leaf for that price.

Agree that this way to display second time zone is very pure and seamless to operate. Not unique though, as PP has a similar movement on the travel times models, also displaying day/night for each hour hand
Very unique , love it!
The translation from french of rattrapante / rattraper as a verb would more accurately be catching back
That is a beautiful top notch piece of art.
Loved everything about this watch until the price flashed up. Great content
Lovely watch….a little pricey though? I wonder if a value in secondary market?
Are they keeping their values well?
Aspirational piece for sure
Really elegant watch 👍🏻
Next level watchmaking 👌🏽
