The first watch Parmigiani designed for his brand was the Toric Memory Time, and he's continued to expand on the iconic case - which takes inspiration from the golden spiral and Doric columns - in some of his most complicated timepieces. The knurled bezel is distinctive and is created by a single craftsman, as it is an uncommon and difficult skill. This is the first chronometer in the Toric collection, it is COSC-certified and has a 55-hour power reserve.

One of the younger brands in high watchmaking, Parmigiani Fleurier was founded in 1996 by Michel Parmigiani and the Sandoz Family Foundation. Evolving from a small company focusing on table clocks and unique pieces into a manufacturer that designs and creates 99 percent of every single component of its 33 movements in-house, it has become a favorite of discerning collectors for its unusual complications and distinctive style.The newly launched Tonda PF collection incorporates some of Parmigiani Fleurier's most distinctive complications including the Micro-Rotor, high frequency chronograph movement and an almost flush dial. The annual calendar within this watch also works to display a retrograde date and the three models within this line are available in a still and platinum knurled bezel or crafted entirely from 18ct rose gold.
