Parmigiani Fleurier introduces Tonda PF Micro-Rotor in Agave Blue across steel and rose gold

Make a splash with the new Micro-Rotor

Parmigiani Fleurier

The Tonda PF Micro-Rotor No Date, the first model in the new series from the Tonda PF collection released by Parmigiani Fleurier in 2021, is now available for purchase in an Agave Blue variant. This model will be offered in stainless steel and rose gold, each 40mm wide. While both watches are identical in terms of the movement architecture and color scheme of the dial, they provide different styles due to their case and bracelet materials.

As the name suggests, Agave Blue is neither a pure mineral blue nor a vibrant vegetal green, but rather falls somewhere in between those colors and soft gray. It does not represent a trend-based hue, but rather draws inspiration from the world around us, and thus can appear differently depending upon the lighting conditions. As such, this watch has a “color” that changes somewhat depending on the time of day, but never remains fixed on a single color reading.

The dial of the stainless steel version features hand guilloché Grain d’Orge engraving, which is accentuated by the shifting colors of the dial as well as the shifting lighting conditions. The stainless steel version also has rhodium plated hand applied indices and rhodium-plated skeletonized delta-shaped hands. In addition, the stainless steel version has a 950 Platinum knurled bezel that adds tactile interest to the otherwise brushed and polished case. The rose gold version includes warmth via 18-carat rose gold indices, hands, and case; the rose gold version also features a rose gold folding clasp to secure the integrated bracelet.

Each model houses the PF703 manufacture movement with a 950 Platinum Micro-Rotor that is integrated directly into the movement’s mainplate, rather than being mounted above the mainplate. The resulting case thickness of 7.8mm is achieved while still providing a 48-hour power reserve. The micro-rotor itself is decorated with Grain d’Orge guilloché and matches the decoration on the dial. The movement operates at 21600vph and contains 29 jewels in 166 components.

By removing the date display from previous versions of the Tonda PF Micro-Rotor (the date display was removed to allow for uninterrupted viewing of the dial), the dial can show off its guilloché surface and color without distraction. Additional specifications include a screwed-in crown, a sapphire crystal in both front and rear positions, and a 10 ATM/ 100 M water resistance rating.

The Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Agave Blue is available for purchase in all of the official Parmigiani Fleurier boutiques and through authorized retailers.

The best non-alcoholic fall beers to celebrate Sober October
Deschutes

Dry January might be the most popular month for taking a break from alcohol, but Sober October is a close second. If you’re spending this month sans alcohol and you’re getting tired of simply drinking sparkling water, there are options aplenty, especially if you’re usually a beer drinker.

If you didn’t know it already, the non-alcoholic beer world has improved a lot in the last decade. When I first started writing about alcohol twenty years ago, I wrote an article where I taste-tested NA beers and the results were fairly brutal. While I won’t name the beers, pretty much all were fizzy, yellow, and at best fairly flavorless. In essence, they didn’t really taste like beer. That’s definitely not the same today. It’s a whole new world of non-alcoholic beer.

Luminox adds a new chronograph to the Carbon Seal Series
Luminox

Luminox began a long-standing relationship with one of the most elite special forces teams in the world in 1992 when they began making tactical watches for the Navy SEALs. Ever since, they have been the brand on the front lines (or behind them is probably the more appropriate statement) of all of the major conflicts across the globe. The team at Luminox elevated the SEAL watches with the Master Carbon SEAL collection which uses a stronger version of the brand’s CARBONOX. A long-bar carbon fiber compound three times lighter than titanium and twice as strong as standard CARBONOX. They are deepening the collection with a new chronograph, the new 3880.

“The connection to the Navy SEALs is both a legacy and a responsibility. From the very beginning, our watches have been designed to perform under the toughest conditions. That expectation continues to shape everything we do—not only for SEAL teams, but also for adventurers around the world who rely on their gear when pushing their limits.” – Pierrick Marcoux, Group Product Director at Luminox

Hockerty is prepping us for the weather changes with their new tech fabrics
Hockerty

Wearing a suit is about putting your best foot forward. It is about walking into a room and everyone knowing before they ever speak to you that you are the one they need. The guy for the job. The trustworthy man. The one who deserves the respect without demanding it. It is the whole purpose of dressing for success. It is the reason that your first impression is so important. So, what happens when your image is ruined by things outside your control? Do you lose the job? Is your trustworthiness in question? What happens to the respect? It is better not to find out. Prepare yourself.

So, of course you can wear an umbrella to protect you from the rain. But that doesn’t protect you from the guy spilling his coffee on you. It doesn’t protect you from the car splashing you as it drives by. Instead, you need to invest in tech fabric. The kind moisture doesn’t soak into, but rolls off. That is where Hockerty’s new collection comes in. The tech fabrics they now offer are for the guy on the move.
