In 2022, Parmigiani Fleurier launched a groundbreaking new GMT design stemming from the mind of Guido Terreni, the brand’s then-newly appointed CEO. In place of a system using a fourth GMT hand or a rotating hour disc, the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante uses dual hour hands, one superimposed over the second. Upon actuation of a pusher on the left case flank, one hand jumps in single-hour increments, leaving the second hand in place. This clever system allows for the rapid adjustment to a second time zone, after which the hand can be returned to its superimposed position via the push of a button embedded into the watch’s crown. Sleek and simple.
For 2025, P.F. is introducing a fresh execution of the Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante dubbed the “Verzasca." Named after the emerald-green waters of the Valle Verzasca, a protected Swiss valley, it features a hand-guilloché “Grain d’Orge" pattern with white gold hands, applied indices, and a brilliant platinum bezel in a knurled pattern. Contained with a 40mm polished and satin-finished stainless steel case and paired to a matching bracelet, it’s powered by Parmigiani Fleurier’s PF051 automatic micro-rotor movement, whose superb finishing is visible via a sapphire caseback.
