PARMIGIANI FLEURIER – HISTORY AND BRAND REVOLUTION
In 1996, Michel Parmigiani’s watchmaking activities gave rise to a new brand, a new credo and new aesthetics. Parmigiani Fleurier was born out of
his passion for watchmaking, classical culture, the observation of nature and his experience in restoring the world’s most sophisticated timepieces
and automata.
Based on a contemporary and understated approach to high-end watchmaking, Parmigiani Fleurier strikes the right balance between appeal and poise, abundant details and streamlined design. Rooted in a wealth of experience and expertise, the Toric, Kalpa and Tonda collections are made for connoisseurs who understand that showing is not being. The art of enjoying a rare, low-key and sophisticated timepiece is a particular brand of self-confident hedonism.
Parmigiani Fleurier constantly demonstrates that it is wiser beyond its years, young enough to keep creating a continuous stream of groundbreaking designs, movements and concepts. Mastery and excellence in craft are the keys to its lasting relevance, both in the modern and classical genres.

hedonistic pleasure. A savvy cultural elite in watchmaking who appreciate heritage, superior craft and has a strong sense of style and

PALLADIO JEWELLERS’ ASSOCIATION WITH PARMIGIANI FLEURIER
Palladio Jewellers’ association with Parmigiani Fleurier goes back to 2012. It was an easy decision for us to begin a partnership with Parmigiani
Fleurier, as a Horophile, I was extremely impressed with Michel Parmigiani and his brand. The quality of watch making from a relatively unknown
independent manufacturer was already vastly more sophisticated than most of the offerings in the industry, and they continue to raise the bar with
the last two years seeing a rapid evolution within the collection.
Mr. Terreni has transformed the physical appeal of the brand into a more discernable and instantly recognizable collection which completely complements the mechanical heart within the case. The PF collections have become instant collector favourites.

“PALLADIO EDITION” TONDA GT – A SUBTLE STATEMENT IN LUXURY SPORTS WATCH SEGMENT
The “Palladio Edition” Tonda GT is a unique timepiece co-created with Parmigiani Fleurier that still retains Michel Parmigiani’s design DNA while
rethinking some facets in order to create a truly wearable leisure watch.
The Ice blue dial attracts the wearer’s attention right from the moment when one first sets eyes on this special timepiece. The subtle blue tones of the dial take your imaginations from the ice blue frozen lakes in winters to the fresh blue waters in the summer time. It’s got flair and walks the line between sports and dressy like few timepieces have achieved.
The timepiece has optimum legibility in design, but a closer look reveals a thoughtful play on architectural elements. In addition to the knurled bezel, the “clou triangulaire” or “triangular hobnail” guilloché pattern on the dial is striking, giving the dial a textured look.
It easily transforms into a sportier watch when paired with a rubber strap, allowing today’s man to easily transition from a day full of activities to an elegant evening.
