The Tonda PF Micro-Rotor is the entry point to the collection, offered in steel, with just time and date complications present. It is not cheap, at $22,900, but it’s a watch that offers a clear contrast to the establishment selections in this genre. Further, while it hits many of the same notes, no one will be mistaking this for a Royal Oak or Nautilus.
The Tonda PF features an integrated bracelet that flares at the lug to create a seamless curvature, broken only by the teardrop lug architecture that’s something of a hallmark for Parmigiani. The resulting shape of the whole package is almost egg-like, or perhaps something that came from the Oakley sunglasses design team, and this effect is exaggerated in images. In hand, though, it doesn’t read that way. The bracelet is trim and comfortable, and the case is far smaller than the expansive dial would suggest. In use, this is a watch that starts to make a lot of sense.
The case itself measures 40mm in diameter, and a mere 7.8mm in thickness, making for a rather compelling presence on the wrist. Details like the lug to case integration, coin edge bezel, and especially that dial, really call for a closer inspection and break the at-a-glance uniformity of the design. Still, the dial is the clear focal point here, and for good reason. The finishing is “Guilloché Grain d’orge” and it’s rendered in a warm grey, nearing toupe. The pattern is tight, really pulling you in to discern its detail, while at the same time, it feels like it stretches on for miles thanks to the almost vestigial hour markers pushed to the very edge of the dial, the singular “PF” marking at 12 o’clock, and nothing else. Just Guilloché Grain d’orge as far as the eye can see. Oh, except for the date aperture at 6 o’clock. There always has to be a date window.
The PF Micro-Rotor feels like a daring watch coming from a company that doesn’t often stray from its chosen path. It’s a step away, and it should come as no surprise that the man at the helm of Parmigiani these days is none other than Guido Terreni, formerly of Bulgari, overseeing watches like the Octo Finissimo. The PF Micro-Rotor, within that context, feels like the beginning of something that will indeed see Parmigiani taking further steps outside of their comfort zone. Hopefully they can manage to do so without losing too much of the old-school Parmigiani charm in the process.
