This collection embodies a spirit of freedom and sophistication that reflects the evolution of the modern man’s wardrobe.

A NEW ERA IN SARTORIALE ELEGANCE


Parmigiani Fleurier redefines contemporary elegance by launching its new Toric collection, a harmonious blend of understated luxury and modern style. This collection encapsulates the evolving codes of masculine sophistication, where timeless craftsmanship meets a liberated, effortless approach to dressing.
The new Toric captures the spirit of today’s sartorial ethos—a seamless fusion of refinement and versatility. Whether paired with a perfectly tailored suit or a relaxed cashmere sweater, the Toric is an effortless extension of the wearer, reflecting the rhythm of modern life.
The traditional markers of power have evolved; yesterday’s stiff collars and formal attire have given way to a more nuanced expression of influence—Brunello Cucinelli tees, Loro Piana loafers, and now, the Toric.
This timepiece is not just an accessory but a statement of style that resonates with the liberated codes of contemporary luxury, where sophistication is defined by personal expression rather than rigid formality.

THE ESSENCE OF SOPHISTICATED, QUIET LUXURY
In a world where discretion is increasingly synonymous with luxury, the new Toric collection embodies the pinnacle of “Quiet Luxury” François-Jean Daehn perfectly captures this sentiment: “The new Toric Petite Seconde embodies the refined elegance of a dress watch reimagined for today.
With its delicately fluted bezel, soft celadon-grey dial, and matte beige Nubuck strap, the watch slips discreetly beneath a shirt cuff yet makes its presence felt when needed. Its quiet allure reaches its zenith in platinum, and the true connoisseur will recognise its value.”
This collection, featuring three models—the Toric Petite Seconde in platinum and 18ct rose gold—offers a contemporary vision of elegance that seamlessly integrates Parmigiani Fleurier’s rich heritage with the demands of modern life.
Every component, from the movement’s finely guilloché bridges to the hand-finished case, reflects the Maison’s dedication to excellence.

THE RARE CRAFTS OF PARMIGIANI FLEURIER
The Toric collection profoundly redefines the classic watch, blending artisanal excellence with traditional craftsmanship. This mastery in watchmaking is revered by discerning collectors and enthusiasts of exclusive, rare, and discreet high-end timepieces.
PARMIGIANI REVIVES THE FORGOTTEN ART OF GRENAGE
Grenage is an ancient decorative dial technique, forgotten and revived by Michel Parmigiani. “It involves applying a mixture of tartar cream, sea salt ground with a glass pestle, and silver.

Demineralised water is used to create an easy-to-work amalgam spread over the surface with a horn spoon.
The dial is rubbed with round movements in all directions using special brushes. As silver is photosensitive, it’s essential to work in semi-darkness, not bright sunlight.
You start with a stiff brush, which gives the colour of lead. We use a much finer, softer brush whose bristles bend easily to achieve a denser, whiter grain.
With hand pressure and movement, you suddenly feel resistance. The dial then begins to be covered with silver particles that stick to the material. Grené comes from “grain”: tiny grains accumulated next to each other.



GOLD AT THE HEART OF TORIC COLLECTION
Exceptional collections demand exceptional movements, and Parmigiani Fleurier excels in this domain. The Toric collection, Chronographe Rattrapante, and Petite Seconde showcase this mastery.

Both models feature movements crafted from 18ct rose gold, a rarity in luxury watchmaking, as Parmigiani Fleurier is among the few brands to utilise this precious metal.
Using gold in the movement provides structural rigidity, though it presents challenges due to its malleability compared to the steel or brass commonly used by other brands.

These base metals pose no risk of mechanical malfunctions, making Parmigiani Fleurier’s choice of gold a testament to their commitment to excellence.
The Chronographe Rattrapante’s bridges are open-worked, while the manufacture movement is meticulously chiselled, shaped, and decorated to the highest standards of watchmaking tradition.
The art of skeletonisation, which involves removing material without compromising the functional rigidity of the components, adds to the complexity. When performed on 18ct rose gold, the result is both delicate and spectacular.

The bridges form a harmonious ensemble of precious arabesques, satin-finished and bevelled by hand, enhancing the overall aesthetic. The timepiece features an 18ct rose gold movement with a unique treatment.
Instead of skeletonisation, it boasts two bridges designed as architectural elements, integral to the watch’s overall aesthetic. The decoration and finishing uphold Parmigiani Fleurier’s esteemed reputation. The bridges are adorned with the Côtes de Fleurier guilloché pattern, derived from the crossed Côtes de Genève.

This intricate guilloché work is meticulously executed to the brand’s exacting standards. The 18ct rose gold plates are carefully incised using an antique cam-operated guilloché machine, starkly contrasting to modern electronically controlled machines.
Each piece requires patience, sensitivity, and experience to achieve the final result. Here, the human hand takes precedence, maintaining the same technical gestures as the guilloche-makers of past centuries. This dedication to traditional craftsmanship ensures each watch is a masterpiece of artisanal excellence.

The Toric collection embodies a concentration of know-how and added value in all its elements. The bracelet, often overlooked, is given full prominence in this collection, treated with the same reverence as the gold movements and hand-grained dials.
Crafting the Nubuck strap mirrors the meticulous process of tailoring a bespoke suit. The material and stitching are the highlights, with each bracelet being entirely hand-crafted. This results in subtle, unique differences after the twenty or so precise manual operations required to complete them.
Machines fall short in some operations, such as padding the sides of the leather tongue. Hand-sewing, which takes about twenty minutes, contrasts sharply with the three minutes a machine would take, showcasing the dedication to artisanal excellence.

The Art of Italian Tailoring in Bracelet Stitching
The bracelet’s stitching is a testament to the art of Italian tailoring, known as “punto a mano.” On the visible side, a tiny stitch (1mm) is followed by an ample space (4mm), while on the inner side, the sequence is reversed: a large stitch followed by a small space. This unique stitching, never before executed by the bracelet manufacturer, was explicitly requested by Parmigiani Fleurier.
This intricate stitching adds the finishing touch to the bracelet’s six constituent layers, all meticulously glued by hand after shaping. The Nubuck-treated alligator leather strap reflects every stage of its manufacture, a process that takes two days for each bracelet.

Nubuck treatment gives the leather a velvety effect, a result of artisanal expertise. The softness to the touch is achieved through delicate handling and light abrasion, a form of sanding perfected by the craftsman’s experience and sensitivity—neither too much nor too little. The stitching on the bracelet is specific to the art of Italian tailoring, the “punto a mano”.
On the visible side of the bracelet, a small stitch (1mm) is followed by a large space (4mm), whereas on the inner side, the same sequence aligns the opposite: a large stitch followed by a small space.

Never done before by the bracelet manufacturer who responded to Parmigiani Fleurier’s specific request, the stitching adds the finishing touch to the six constituent layers of the bracelet, all glued by hand after shaping.
The surface of the Nubuck-treated alligator leather strap reflects all the stages in its manufacture, which takes a total of two days for each bracelet.
Nubuck’s softness to the touch is achieved through delicate handling and light abrasion, a form of sanding that only the artisan’s experience and sensitivity can finalise—neither too much nor too little.



AN ELITE CHRONOGRAPH
How can a movement be reconciled with a complication while preserving the finesse of the case? It’s a daily challenge in watchmaking.
Parmigiani Fleurier has solved the problem with Toric Chronograph Rattrapante. The movement, which is more complex to produce than a tourbillon, has been developed in an integrated form to improve its finesse.

The exercise is perfectly successful: it is a case of remarkable elegance with balanced proportions. Its overall lines, sleek and essential, bear witness to the aesthetic quest to which it has been subjected.
There are no protrusions or aggressive angles, and its discreet pushers are flush with the baseband: it exudes a natural grace whatever the viewing perspective, from the side or from the front. The case and nubuck strap form a seamless and harmonious combination.


Despite its highly sophisticated integrated movement, the Toric Chronograph Rattrapante remains, first and foremost, an elegant and distinguished watch rather than a functional instrument with complication.
GOLDEN TEMPO
Gold movements are rare in high-end watchmaking. The Toric Chronograph Rattrapante’s movement is crafted from 18-carat rose gold. It beats at a high

frequency (5Hz) and incorporates a double-column wheel. Its structural elements, skeletonized to suggest an arabesque, leave ample room for visual appreciation of its moving components.
This genuine competition-class machine invites an absolute immersion in gold, concealing a world-class masterpiece calibre but in a resolutely Haute Horlogerie iteration. This movement integrates 285 components, 35 jewels, and a 65-hour power reserve. The tenth-of-a-second precision and the challenge of shaping such a malleable material as gold are assets that every devotee of the finest watchmaking will appreciate.


It is a tribute to the zenith of horological artistry. It’s not just a movement; it’s a narrative of passion, expertise, and the relentless pursuit of perfection.
