First of all what a great photo of a lovely selection of Neo Vintage watches.

Now for the hard part, my first choice from the offered watches would be the Parmigiani Fleurier Ionica 8-Day white dial as I just think it is such a beautiful watch. My least favourite is also not an easy choice but it is the Zenith El Primero White dial

The First and the LAST choice

8 watches, which one would be your first choice AND your last chance if you had to pick these 2 Difficult to me but I would probably take the burgundy Andersen as my first choice and the least .... very difficult ... the zenith on the left or the platinum

Parmigiani Ionica in 950 PT

This timepiece never ceases to amaze me. It was my 2nd PF watch and perhaps my most special. Thank you Michael for this creation.

A similar comparison

That’s close to 2.5 times the price of a patek Calatrava and 8 times the price of a Rolex sub Let’s extrapolate that to today—then the Ionica would be around 80k.

but todays price might make it a bargain ;-)

so nothing wrong with that A bit like a Parmigiani Ionica ... VERY expensive early 2000 but today its a bargain and this is a very good reason to look at some Neo Vintage watches nowadays

I really do prefer round watches

and that's the only thing I'm not so sure of when it comes to this watch. It's gorgeous and the finishing is impeccable. But as said ... rectangular is something I don't like very much. I like my Parmigiani Ionica and Chronoswiss Digiteur but always someh

Really cool Mike! I hope to visit one day.

Parmigiani was founded in 1996. For a couple of years the focus was restoration work, then came the first watch in probably 1998, the Memory Time and the first movement shortly after, the 8-day Hebdomadaire cased in the Ionica watch. Thanks for the pics!

Just a wristshot, the Parmigiani Ionica

An elegant platinum wristwatch from about 25 years ago. While round watches are more popular, this does look good on the wrist.

A bit of gold from the early '90s to the early 2000s.

And rare not in the sense of being valuable, because some of these are still very affordable today, but truly rare in terms of how few were actually made In my opinion, a very beautiful Parmigiani chronograph. One of the very first series ever produced (a

Thanks Bonzo.

Missing the interior angles, that's the "industrial" version of the hebdomadaire movement Should I hold my breath for an Ionica Jumping Hour release, lol? Thanks for the comment. M4
