Parmigiani Fleurier - Tonda Chronor Anniversaire

To mark its 20th anniversary, Parmigiani Fleurier has unveiled the Tonda Chronor Anniversaire, its new integrated chronograph movement, a feat of watchmaking that very few of today's manufactures are capable of achieving on an industrial scale. With its first Anniversary model limited to 50 pieces and featuring a movement entirely in gold, Parmigiani Fleurier pays tribute to the tradition of the chronograph. "Since the very start of our watchmaking adventure, the idea of creating an integrated Chronograph has always been close to my heart. This dream became a reality on the eve of our 20th anniversary, and this is no coincidence – it is a reflection of our development as a manufacture. To successfully create an integrated chronograph, one must first master its imposing, meticulous assembly of constituent parts; not just their manufacture, but also their operation and function at the heart of a calibre; one must appreciate both their limits and potential. For this reason, an integrated chronograph is necessarily the work of an experienced manufacture. The Tonda Chronor Anniversaire is a reflection of 20 years of work." Michel Parmigiani
