I just picked one up a month ago.
Completely agree. The movement finishing is stunning!
Dial - fantastic. Mirror finish on the hand tips - outstanding.
Phenomenal watch.
My photos aren’t as good as yours, but here’s a cousin saying hello from Australia 🙌

Might be the most interesting watch on the market today

That is of course my personal opinion but let me try to explain you why I think it is. Yes, I'm talking about the Parmigiani Ionica. 1997-1998 and Parmiginiani was founded. Michel Parmigiani already worked many many years in the industry and was well know...
Great post

Agreed re: bang for buck! A lot of watch for what you pay. Parmigiani in general is quite underpriced on the used market.
A wonderful post, dear Bruno!

I started looking closer at Parmigiani a little while ago. Especially when the new models came out this year, which I find very appealing. After your report on the Ionica, I really feel like dealing intensively with Parmigiani. The vertical range of manuf...

I agree, very satisfying movement decoration. Nice thick anglage and chamfered screw openings. Beauty - Kevin

I'd love to hear what you think of their more recent work. I've been a fan of the current generation of Tonda for a while. To my (distant!) eye they don't seem, though, to be done to this same unreasonably high standard. Do you agree?
I do agree
By: Bruno.M1 : December 21st, 2021-16:28
The Tonda is a great watch and the finishing is better then what the competitors offer in that price category But it's not the same as what you see when looking at the Ionica, not even close The Tonda 'Chrono' anniversaire on the other hand has a movement...

What a beauty
By: Rosneathian : December 23rd, 2021-00:37
It's quite hard to extoll the virtues of an overlooked watch that's 20 years old. It doesn't have the attention of the brand itself, which in this case is also quite a small one that relatively few folks know or follow. Owing to being quite innocuous, it ...
Fantastic Thread....

I am blown away at the photos and details. And I have to agree this Ionica is stunningly beautiful. I am a PP fan boy, and also own FPJ and Lange and love them all, but I have to say this timepiece goes toe to toe with any of them. And as noted seem to be...
