Parmigiani Tonda 39 Quality Fleurier OR ROUG

[watchnut.com]

This is one of the best dress watches I’ve ever owned. The quality of the piece is rivaled by very few Swiss watchmakers.

If you are not familiar with Parmigiani, they were founded as a company in 1996 by the Swiss Sandoz Foundation. Between 2000 and 2005, Sandoz acquired five established companies including an escapement manufacturer, a small parts manufacturer, a dial manufacturer, a case manufacturer, and a movement and final assembly manufacturer and put them together under the Parmigiani banner. These companies all made parts for many high-end watchmakers representing some very well know name brands, and collectively have a huge amount of experience in the high-end segment of the Swiss watch industry.

This is also one of a small group of watches that are certified by the Fleurier Quality Foundation. The FQF provides a service similar to the COSC, but goes much further, including a test when the movement is cased that mimics human movement by computer simulation. If you are not familiar with their work, do a search on them.

Hermes owned a percentage of the movement maker Vaucher prior to its acquisition by Sandoz and kept that interest post sale. So all of Parmigiani’s leather strap are made by Hermes.
