Description

The assignment of the Tonda PF Minute Rattrapante; enable on-demand tracking of elapsed minutes over a specific period of time for any affair requiring measurement of the minutes count. In traditional watchmaking, this is a function that is truly common but is usually achieved by a rotating diving bezel. The idea of Parmigiani Fleurier; performs the function usually operated by the graduated unidirectional bezel on a dive watch via the movement itself. And thus, transforming a feature of the case into a complication found in the movement.

Further Reading

The Tonda PF Minute Rattrapante's dial features an hour hand and two superimposed minute hands– of which the premiere in rhodium-plated gold indicates real-time coupled with the hour hand. It conceals the other hand in 18ct rose gold, which will calculate minutes in five or one-minute increments on demand. In both cases, pressing on either pusher will make the rose gold hand jump according to the desired increment: five minutes by the pusher at 8 o'clock and one minute by the one at 10 o'clock. The period of time to be measured will have elapsed when the rhodium-plated hand has reached the position of the 18ct rose gold hand. It is returned to its position by means of the crown-integrated pusher in a similar way to the split-seconds function.

The function enables on-demand fine calibration of the minutes over a specific period of time for any occasion or event requiring measurement of the minutes to count.

The contrast is striking. This is very much a complication yet in the Parmigiani Fleurier spirit. The Tonda PF Minute Rattrapante is graced with pure and essential proportions featuring sophisticated aesthetic codes and finishes.

Parmigiani Fleurier

The Parmigiani Fleurier brand - a watch-making adventure that transcends the mundane - was created in Fleurier in 1996 and was guided by the passion of a man who remained faithful to the very essence of the watchmaker. Michel Parmigiani, master horologist, renowned restorer, and talented creator of mechanical time-keepers, dedicates his knowledge, which has been enriched by past and present teachings, to the benefit of the brand.

The Sandoz Family Foundation, who had tasked a young Michel Parmigiani to lead the restoration of their horological artifact collection, became interested in bringing Parmigiani's masterful work to the consumer market. In 1996, with the backing of the Sandoz Foundation, Parmigiani Fleurier was able to fit out its manufacturing workshops with the means to produce exceptionally high-quality goods. In less than 10 years, it achieved near complete vertical integration, and the industrial equipment deployed constitutes one of the rarest and most complete manufacturing workshops in Switzerland. The very essence of haute horology, such as attention to detail or the beauty of the embellishment of a simple or highly complicated movement, is the subject of great attention at Parmigiani Fleurier and is the reason for its international recognition.

A Word From Our Curator

"In a classic Parmigiani manner, the Tonda PF Minute Rattrapante takes on the elapsed time complication and eliminates the need for a timing bezel by leveraging a cleverly hidden secondary minute hand. The Minute Rattrapante is complication through simplicity at its best."

- Albert Trevino
Senior Curator
