NEW DIMENSIONS
WOW Singapore|Issue 67
Finally we want to rest our case for the Tonda PF with the new Tonda PF 36mm, which is a surprisingly different take on the standard issue 40mm Tonda PF Micro-Rotor.
NEW DIMENSIONS

Size is the primary distinguishing characteristic between these two time-only watches here so we will begin there. To be honest, a smaller variant of the two-hander here was almost certainly part of the plan all along, but perhaps not solely as a ladies watch. Remember the point in the earlier section about the speedy genesis of the Tonda PF collection. There is certainly a possibility that the Tonda PF 36mm version was envisioned as a ladies model, because the watch did win the 2022 GPHG prize for best ladies watch. Once again, the way we see it, it is all about size, not gender.
