The Tonda GT collection was discontinued maybe 2-3 years ago. But you can still find them here and there.
There are some compelling models in the collection.
Let me find out about the board and I will update.
Still rockin' the Gold to honor Team USA's incredible rise to the top of hockey
I'll forever correlate this watch with the 2026 men's hockey gold medal. And I should not forget the women's team, who dominated Canada in the first round robin game, and then stunned them late in the gold medal game. USA hockey has not ridden this high s...
Speaking of the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" USA gold medal team . . .
. . . I was a senior in 1978 at Bowling Green State University and a member of its NCAA 3rd place ice hockey team when I received a letter from Herb Brooks, the Team USA coach, to attend the Olympic tryouts in late 1978 or early 1979. I had already decide...
WOW - Dan - what an incredible story!
You were obviously a very accomplished hockey player. Thanks for sharing this unique story!!
That is an awesome story!
I remember being 10 years old and watching that game. What a result around the socio-political climate of the time. You must have been a hell of a hockey player. You could also add some pics of your amazing PFs to this celebratory thread. Go USA!
Obviously I still love your Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT Chronograph but now having a special memory attached to it makes it even more special for you.
That has to be one of the coolest charcuterie boards I have ever seen one one hand it seems a shame to cover it up, but on the other hand it gives a great excuse to eat everything on it to reveal its beauty. I think they call that a win win situation. Mar...
I'll try to get more information on the board. It was created by an artist in Wyoming.
I thought the colors were well paired to the Gold Tonda.
Don't have a lot of hockey knowledge...
...but do know that watching a game live is the way to go...so much better than on TV. Hockey players seem to be so much more 'normal' than most pro athletes...
Canada
will be back. Over the last few Olympics they were dominant and will be again. Congrats to the US for double gold and now you know how we've felt over the years.
No doubt. As the Canadian players proclaimed after the game, they were the better team.
They should inscribe that into their silver medals. I think the US players are quite content to be Gold Medal winners.
No inscription necessary
They both have many golds. For teams that are unaccustomed to overall winning inscriptions are probably warranted.
Agreed. Maybe a Canadian team will finally inscribe their name into the Stanley Cup this year? 32 years and counting... :-(
Maybe the great Patrick Roy's # will bring luck to the country.
Doubtful
They all suck to be honest though there are Canadians on every team. It is what it is
Love the watch and the board!
I have been smitten with Parmigiani and have met with my AD now a couple times. I really like yours and will ask to see it in the metal. Any info you can provide on the artist from Wyoming would be great. Something like that would be great for our place i...
