Parmigiani Fleurier displayed four fresh additions to the well-regarded Tonda PF assortment. Every item considers separate features of modern watch creation. These features span dimensions and material advances.

A significant item is the Tonda PF Chronograph No Date. It exists in a smaller 40mm stainless steel frame version as well as in Mineral Blue face. The polished product does without a date display. The results are a cleaner appearance. It keeps its COSC-certified built-in manufacture device. The device works at 36,000 motions each hour. At a mere 6.95mm, the device offers a 65-hour power supply.

The collection’s notable Grain d’Orge pattern enhances the Mineral Blue face. It builds a lively interaction alongside radiance. This reveals energetic structures and magnitude. The refined chronograph sections give preference to precise time measurement. Additional situations do not distract.

For persons who travel, the firm offers the Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante. It is stainless steel with a Verzasca Green face. This product contains a mechanism, a world first, revealed in 2022. It permits prompt two-way time region changes. The modifications happen using a single action. The face color receives concepts from the transparent waters of Switzerland’s Verzasca Valley. It proceeds with the firm’s study of Le Corbusier’s color set.

Limited to only 50 items, the Tonda PF Skeleton Slate Green gives a modern view of traditional skeletonization. The exposed PF 777 calibre possesses 187 parts. The firm shows it beneath a glowing green face drawn from architectural concepts. Every component exhibits detailed polishing. This involves satin plus hand-beveled bridges. This displays the firm’s dedication to elevated Horlogerie standards.

The Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Ultra-Cermet remains significant. It shows a world-first in-watch creation. After three years of advancement, Parmigiani Fleurier made watches formed entirely in Cermet. Cermet is a composite joining ceramic’s solidity with metal’s weight. The firm provides it in Milano Blue plus London Grey. These models feature frames, fluted bezels, crowns, pushers plus pin buckles. All parts come from this aerospace-derived material.

The Cermet models contain the high-frequency, COSC-certified PF070 built-in chronograph device. It maintains significant precision within a frame. The frame offers unique light-reflecting traits plus a unique cold sensation when against the skin.

All four fresh references keep the Tonda PF collection’s minimal style. They also extend limits in separate directions. This involves frame dimensions plus material advances. This further sets Parmigiani Fleurier’s place at the head of modern luxury watch creation.

Maurice Lacroix goes carbon with new AIKONIC collection
Maurice Lacroix Unveils Carbon-Powered AIKONIC Series
Maurice Lacroix released the AIKON

Maurice Lacroix has launched the AIKONIC collection, an evolved version of its popular AIKON series that incorporates advanced materials and manufacturing techniques.
Crafted at the company's Saignelégier facility in the Swiss Jura, the AIKONIC represents the pinnacle of AIKON design while retaining the distinctive six broad bezel arms from the original 2016 model.
The carbon dial sets this watch apart from competitors. Rather than using traditional interwoven patterns, the AIKONIC employs carbon fibers arranged in parallel lines running vertically. This creates distinctive grey and black striping, with slight variations in fiber placement making each dial unique during production. Maurice Lacroix collaborated with a specialist firm located 40 kilometers from their facility to develop these dials, demonstrating local Swiss partnerships typically reserved for luxury timepieces.
The timepiece features a steel case combining brushed and polished finishes, with angled edges that interact dynamically with light. The crown and bezel utilize matte ceramic construction for scratch resistance and color stability, while an enhanced sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both surfaces improves readability and salt water durability.
The AIKONIC introduces Maurice Lacroix's patented ML Easy Change system, enabling strap removal without tools. The central bracelet links rotate at their case connection points, allowing clean separation and secure reinstallation.
Maurice Lacroix partnered with Soprod, a movement specialist located 10 kilometers away, to create the ML1000 caliber exclusively for this collection. The automatic movement showcases a large openworked rotor, blued screws, perlage finishing, and Côtes de Genève decoration. The caliber maintains accuracy within ±4 seconds daily and provides 60 hours of power reserve, viewable through an exhibition caseback.
The AIKONIC collection features a 43mm case across five configurations. Three models sport black ceramic bezels: an all-black version with DLC-coated titanium case, a black variant with steel case, and a steel model featuring bright blue accents on the strap, hands and hour markers. A fourth steel option pairs a blue ceramic bezel with matching blue strap, while the fifth combines a white ceramic bezel with a black and white rubber strap. Steel models are priced at $3,400, with the titanium version at $3,700. Find out more here.
