DRESSED IN SUMMER WHITES

Purpose-built for performance, the Tonda PF Sport Chronograph is powered by a high-frequency automatic movement, certified by the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres). Operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour, it ensures exceptional precision in short time measurements — leaving no room for error.

Where the Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Sandstone could be perceived as a pure technical instrument, it has a very different facet to it; that of a refined and precious timepiece adorned with 18ct rose gold and a textured rubber strap named Tufo, inspired by Mediterranean rocks that are so unique in their hue. Its presence breathes the ease of serenity, the warmth of a South conducive to special moments. One can imagine the shores of Mare Nostrum, on the side of Sicily and southern Italy, the islands of this sea separating Europe from Africa: serene colors, light, and sunshine come together to invite inward reflection. The Tonda PF Sport Chronograph is associated with these moments of introspection steeped in style.

It’s name - Sandstone - leaves no room for ambiguity. It evokes the warmth of summer and a bright environment through the soft hues of sand for the sub-dials dotting the silver guilloché background of the Triangular Nail pattern, which enhances the light. Its sophisticated textured rubber strap in Tufo colour reinforces the summery character of the watch.

We understand that this watch is aimed at those who wish to enjoy their time calmly and elegantly.

However, it can also take on a very functional guise and accurately measure short intervals of time with formidable precision: nothing escapes the extreme accuracy of its high-frequency automatic movement, which allows no approximation. Its 22ct rose gold oscillating mass ensures smooth winding for a power reserve of 65 hours. It is set in an 18ct rose gold case, with finishes alternating between satin and polish that play perfectly with the light.

Both a technical timepiece and a sport watch crafted for pleasure; the Tonda PF Sport Chronograph embodies the spirit of the Maison. With its relaxed silhouette and design conceived for moments of refined enjoyment, it invites a serene escape — beyond the bounds of time.

STRAP IN «TUFO» LIGHT

The strap of the Tonda PF Sport is far from conventional. Crafted from high-grade rubber, it is textured to evoke the appearance of Cordura — a technical fabric valued for its durability and structured elegance. The result is a corduroy-like effect, both visual and tactile, merging the character of woven textile with the precision of sculpted material. It lends the watch a distinct sport-chic presence.

Each strap is reinforced and hand-finished with saddle-style stitching, drawing from the artisanal techniques used for fine alligator leather straps. This considered choice reflects the Maison’s unwavering commitment to detail and excellence.

The chosen hue, «Tufo», draws inspiration from the pale volcanic stone found on Mediterranean landscapes. Mineral, luminous and understated, the tone anchors the timepiece in a minimalist yet culturally rich aesthetic. It conjures sun-drenched coastlines, timeless architecture, and the effortless elegance of a Mediterranean living. Resilient, fluid, and seamlessly integrated with the case, the strap embodies Parmigiani Fleurier’s vision: a pursuit of harmony between performance, beauty, and artisanal refinement.

MANUFACTURE MOVEMENT

The Tonda PF Sport Chronograph features the COSC-certified PF070 caliber, an automatic manufacture movement. With a column wheel and high-beat frequency of 36,000Vph (5 Hz), it offers a 65-hour power reserve. The 22-carat rose gold skeletonized oscillating weight and satin-finished openworked bridges with bevelled edges add a touch of sophistication.

“The Tonda PF Sport Chronograph in rose gold sandstone reflects our pursuit of essential beauty in watchmaking. It merges mechanical excellence, through a high-frequency chronograph calibre with the informal elegance of a summer lifestyle. From the luminous tones of the dial to the textured strap inspired by Mediterranean « tufo » stone, this piece is crafted for those who seek substance, refinement, and effortless elegance.”

Guido Terreni, CEO Parmigiani Fleurier
