The story of the Parmigiani Tonda PF continues as the brand adds more depth and breadth to the collection
ASHOK SOMAN
SUBTLETY TRIUMPHANT

The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF collection has lit up collector expectations of the brand, which and the cover. We introduced the collection last year on its surprise debut, and have been covering it to varying degrees since. Watches and Wonders Geneva 2022 has since revealed more gems in this collection, and the brand has complemented this with a steady expansion of variants. All serious watch commentators have been pilling into this so you will no doubt be aware, to some extent. Just as the sun reveals a new world to us every day, so too do we steadily discover fresh things to love about the Tonda PF.

Thus we open this story with the Tonda PF Skeleton, which is not the cover watch, but is arguably the richest novelty on which we have yet to offer a detailed study. As for the unusual Tonda PF Annual Calendar SHH Edition on the cover, well, it is time once again for another brief explainer on our cover story format. This time, there is a consequential difference to the order of things. We have opted to open with the Tonda PF Skeleton, followed by the SHH Edition and, finally, a few new Tonda PF models to consider, which were introduced later in 2022. Yes, we have decided to split the difference between the various Tonda PF models, and we have, regrettably, omitted all other new models.
