Toric Chronograph Rattrapante

THE NEW TORIC ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION

A TRILOGY OF LIVING CRAFT

TORIC — WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Thirty years ago, Michel Parmigiani gave form to a vision: to preserve the great traditions of mechanical watchmaking while projecting them into the future. TORIC was its first manifestation — not simply a watch, but a language. A synthesis of classical architecture, mathematical harmony and exceptional craftsmanship.

Three decades later, Parmigiani Fleurier returns to this founding gesture through an exceptional trilogy created for its 30th anniversary: the TORIC Petite Seconde, the TORIC Quantième Perpétuel and the TORIC Chronographe Rattrapante.

Each piece explores a distinct dimension of haute horlogerie — purity, calendar intelligence and chronographic mastery — while articulating a refined vision of the dress watch, rooted in sartorial elegance, proportion and the culture of detail.

They are united by a shared artistic expression: the revival of a rare decorative technique, the hand-hammered gold dial, combined with exceptional gold movements reflecting the same level of material integrity and horological craftsmanship.

Together, they form more than a collection. They convey a clear position — one where mechanical intelligence, artisanal mastery and aesthetic restraint are held in perfect balance.

Produced in limited editions of thirty pieces per reference, the TORIC 30th Anniversary affirms Parmigiani Fleurier’s vision - haute horlogerie and high value-added manual craftsmanship in their most essential form.

A CONTEMPORARY VISION OF THE DRESS WATCH

The contemporary TORIC embodies a distinctive approach to watchmaking — rooted in cultivated elegance, intimacy and modernity. In a world increasingly saturated with visible symbols of status, Parmigiani Fleurier proposes another idea of luxury — one that reveals itself progressively to those who recognize it.

Within this perspective, TORIC stands as one of the most compelling contemporary interpretations of the dress watch. It brings together two dimensions rarely aligned with such precision: the clarity and modernity of refined design, and the cultural depth of great horological heritage.

Its neo-classical architecture, the precision of its proportions and the richness of its artisanal finishes firmly anchor it within the lineage of haute horlogerie.

At the same time, the purity of its aesthetic language, the subtlety of its color palette and the mastery of light give it a distinctly contemporary presence. The collection privileges exclusively precious metals — rose gold, white gold and platinum — whose intrinsic nobility forms part of the identity of the object. Parmigiani Fleurier defines this philosophy as Private Luxury.

The exploration of sartorial refinement continues through a high-end, double-sided alligator strap, finished in a subtle semi-matte tone and elevated by a Neapolitan stitch — a discreet yet distinctive signature of craftsmanship.

TORIC addresses a new generation of collectors for whom the dress watch is no longer defined by formality, but by a personal relationship with elegance and horological culture. Rare métiers d’art play a central role: hand-guilloché, hand-hammering, refined finishing and the architectural composition of movements contribute to a watchmaking language in which every detail carries meaning.

Through this approach, TORIC opens a new chapter in the evolution of the dress watch — timepieces designed to accompany contemporary life with quiet confidence and cultural depth.

THE HAMMERED DIAL — LIGHT, SCULPTED BY HAND

Creating a Parmigiani hammered dial is a demanding process spanning around sixty individual operations. For its 30th anniversary, the Maison introduces this new decorative signature: the hand-hammered gold dial — a technique rooted in ancient metalworking traditions, found across European silversmithing, Japanese ritual objects and numerous artisanal cultures.

A single artisan shapes the surface through a succession of precise manual strikes.

Each impact subtly displaces the metal while preserving the perfect flatness required for a watch dial. Because the process is entirely manual, the rhythm, depth and distribution of impacts vary with each gesture. No two dials can ever be identical.

This process creates a subtly irregular surface that diffuses light in a uniquely vibrant way. The dial becomes a living surface — one that vibrates softly with light. The counters introduce a contrasting finish through a delicate azuré process. Fine grooves are cut using diamond tools, creating perfectly regular micro-lines that capture and reflect light with precision. The contrast between the vibrancy of the hammered surface and the optical calm of the counters produces remarkable depth and clarity.

The minute track follows the same pursuit of contrast, expressed through a circular satin-brushed finish.

MECHANICAL ARCHITECTURE — CRAFTED IN GOLD

The mechanical architecture of the TORIC movements mirrors the sophistication of the dials. For the Petite Seconde and Quantième Perpétuel, Parmigiani Fleurier introduces bridges crafted entirely in solid 18-carat rose gold — a choice that remains exceptionally rare in watchmaking.

Gold is significantly softer than conventional movement materials such as steel or brass, making it far more demanding to machine and finish without altering its geometry. Choosing gold therefore represents both a technical challenge and a declaration of watchmaking intent.

These bridges are adorned with a rare double hand-guilloché decoration combining Clou de Paris and Filet sauté. The Clou de Paris forms a grid of tiny pyramids that disperse light, while the Filet sauté introduces raised linear structures that add rhythm and depth. Together, they create a sculptural landscape animated by light.

For the Chronographe Rattrapante, the Maison retains its exceptional high-frequency calibre beating at 5 Hz (36,000 vibrations per hour). The open-worked architecture reveals the two column wheels and the steel chronograph components within a structure crafted in rose gold. Across the collection, finishing reflects a guiding philosophy: mechanical precision elevated through decorative mastery.

TORIC PETITE SECONDE: THE QUIET HEART OF TIME

Within the trilogy, the TORIC Petite Seconde represents the most essential interpretation of Parmigiani Fleurier’s philosophy. The dial reveals the quiet vibrancy of the hammered surface in Morning Blue, crafted from 18-carat white gold.

The watch is housed in a platinum case with a finely knurled bezel, now echoed by a similarly knurled case back — one of the most distinctive architectural signatures of the TORIC collection.

The movement is structured by two large bridges in solid 18-carat rose gold, decorated with the double hand-guilloché motif. Manually wound, it preserves the tactile ritual that connects the wearer directly to time. The piece is limited to 30 units, individually numbered from 1 to 30.

TORIC QUANTIÈME PERPÉTUEL : MASTERED SOPHISTICATION

The TORIC Quantième Perpétuel embodies one of watchmaking’s most sophisticated complications. The perpetual calendar accounts automatically for the irregular lengths of months and leap years. Once correctly set and continuously wound, it requires correction only once per century — the next occurring in 2100.

Parmigiani Fleurier approaches this complexity with restraint. A coaxial display architecture preserves the purity of the dial, with two sub-dials at 4 and 8 o’clock concentrating the information: Day and Date on the first, Months and Leap Years on the second.

The dial, crafted in 18-carat rose gold, appears in the refined shade of Bright Peony with a hand-hammered finish. Inside beats the calibre PF733, operating at 4 Hz with a 60-hour power reserve. The movement reveals rose gold bridges decorated with hand-guilloché Clou de Paris and Filet sauté.

Limited to 30 pieces, the watch balances mechanical intelligence with aesthetic clarity.

TORIC CHRONOGRAPHE RATTRAPANTE: WHEN TIME SPLITS

The Chronographe Rattrapante represents the most technically complex creation of the trilogy. This split-seconds chronograph measures two simultaneous events with different end times, enabled by a fully integrated movement.

Operating at 5 Hz, it allows measurements to the tenth of a second. The movement comprises 285 components, two column wheels and a 65-hour power reserve.

For this anniversary edition, the open-worked movement in 18-carat rose gold reveals its architecture through a striking dialogue between polished steel chronograph components and warm gold surfaces.

The dial, in hand-hammered white gold, appears in Agave Blue and is framed by a platinum case with the signature knurled bezel. The piece is limited to 30 units, individually numbered.
