Many of the watches that Parmigiani Fleurier has produced to date have been dress watches that pursue elegant style and high performance. It is no exaggeration to say that they are works of art, born from the manufacture's technology and the talent and uncompromising pursuit of excellence of the brand's founder and watchmaker, Michel Parmigiani. The newly announced "Tonda GT" and "Tondagraph GT" are luxury sports watches for everyday use, with an unprecedentedly bold look, designed to accompany any everyday occasion.
