Its case is inspired by the columns of Ancient Greece, with this aesthetic taken up by the gadroons and knurling. The masterpieces of the past are a fascinating source of inspiration for the Manufacture because of their ability to become a part of history, a principle as central to watchmaking as is the quest for accuracy.

The Toric Chronometer combines these two aspirations in remarkable fashion.

As evidenced by the certification number engraved on the PF331 proprietary calibre, assembled with components of the highest quality, each Toric Chronometer is unique and meets the most stringent standards for accuracy and reliability.

To ensure perfect harmony of substance and form, Parmigiani Fleurier opted for a case structure which frames the wrist. The case, made from white gold or red gold, has been redesign. The curved contours inject a certain dynamism into the design. The end of the strap and its attachment have been redesigned to reflect this, and the lugs given a more functional, ergonomic makeover. The crown has also been made a more imposing feature. While it retains the signature codes of the collection, the aesthetic of the Toric Chronometer is understated, its appearance streamlined. The cards have been elegantly reshuffled.

This elegance can be seen in the dial, available in black opaline or a delicate white grained version. This hand-crafted finish consists of creating a unique textured background by brushing the surface of the dial with a mixture of salt and silver powder. It is brought to life by two long Javelin hands, a date, a very subtle minute track around the circumference, and Arabic numerals with proportions which emphasise this elegance. This piece comes with a black Alligator strap.

The Toric Chronometer eloquently makes its mark on the very nature of time. It is an expression of the taste of the man or woman wearing it, full of the originality of a sophisticated piece, perfectly executed.
