The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda 1950 fits into a big trend of the Sinophile watchmaking; the (colossal) Chinese market is fond of plain Hours-minute-second with a classic diameter. Yet, in this field, there were a tremendous number of reissues of pieces from the 50’-60’s; many brands merely reproduced these codes without the era’s magic. However, certain brands, like Lange & Söhne or Vacheron Constantin, make very fine things in this vein.

The watchmaker earned the recognition of the Prix Gaïa jury for his total and innovative mastery of watchmaking and skill for turning an impossibility into a technical masterpiece.
