Here we go, again.
At Justin's request, here is my adorable Parmigiani Ionica: PT, deep gray dial. It has languished in the safe for too long. Another that will be on my wrist, alternating with the two Langes. Definitely not a fashionable or 'in' watch but it tickles my fan...
Love it
Been thinking quite some time to buy one but still haven’t pulled the trigger
Holdenchamps request is a good one
Yesterday i had a tonneau day. I found an interesting Girard Perregaux Richville and searched much information i could find about the watch. Not owning, but maybe a watch for my collection. And this thread is important. Parmigiani Ionica. The fact i see l...
This is interesting you wrote
Not fashionable. Tonneau’s are a kind of it’s own. Is it a typical watch guys choice? Have a good Sunday Antony.
Possibly not
In my experience most collectors, rather like car buyers, go for what 'everybody else' has. It's safer. Of course, they're right, if one gets an uncommon brand/appearance you are making a statement and going to take a financial hit. But if you love it, wh...
Great watch talk
Hey Antony, You can write clearly about watches. I always walk out of the box. The grey mass is imitation each other to much. You a Rolex, i a Rolex. It is great you have the Parmigiani Ionica in your collection. I have problems with other Parmigiani watc...
I see what you mean
So how do you feel about UJ teardrop lugs, or the hand soldered ones on an early Chopard QF. They look good to me. I think that the early Parmigiani Torics are fab, specially the WG/PT ones with black dials. Stunning! Regards Antony
It is, isn't it?
Hugely below the radar, underwater, more like! I'm glad that you like it. ATB Antony
Such a beautiful watch !
Dial, bezel, case and form movement with all those anglage. Amazingly beautiful! Thanks for sharing Cheers Robin
Beautiful Parmigiani!
I particularly love the movement, very unique and well-finished!
First time I ever saw a PF was a rose gold Ionica in Paris in the early 2000s
At that I was blown away by the watch… it looked so beautiful and expensive, so luxurious. It still does but of course my eyes have seen a lot more in the last 20 years. It really left a big impression on me back then… good times! Thanks so much for shari...
I agree 100%
somehow I got distracted from essential values. It's going to be worn regularly from now! Have a great week. Kind regards Antony
I consider this to be quintessential PF
It has features that only PF offers, not least that double coin-edge bezel. I can't put my finger on it but there's something not quite homo sapiens about PF's work; something other worldly. Perhaps it's because PF just does its own thing without much reg...
Thank you for
your deep thought comment, I agree. Many, many, many years ago I went to a Parmigiani presentation, he went to great lengths to explain that all his shapes were ruled by The Golden Mean. The result is a soft, organic look. Your point about this being a ge...
