03. A Celestial Celebration: Parmigiani Tonda Métropolitaine

Parmigiani Tonda Métropolitaine Sélène is an ode to astronomy

Unveiled in 2016, the Tonda Métropolitaine is an ode to astronomy and represents the lunar phases. It is part of the Métro collection and is equipped with the brand’s 33rd proprietary movement, produced in the Parmigiani Fleurier manufacture. The dial of the new Métropolitaine Sélène depicts the moon set against a midnight blue aventurine glass backdrop that represents the sky. It is also speckled with golden fragments akin to stars in the night sky. The piece is truly a work of art with skeletonised delta-shaped hands and pink gold indices. The 33mm stainless steel case is topped by a bezel set with 72 brilliant-cut diamonds, totalling 0.51 carats. The small seconds are at six o’clock against a black background, revealing the date on a matching disc. The manufacture has depicted the moon with a keen likeness, including spots that resemble the moon’s craters. This complication for women is powered by the in-house automatic PF318 movement and the moon phase module was specially created for this watch. It operates through a gear moved by the hour wheel, which rotates at half the speed of the gear. This means that the gear drives the moon disc every 24 hours via a flexible blade integrated in the centre of its wheel. There’s also a corrector at nine o’clock, which enables the wearer to manually index the moon in relation to the day and date of the actual geographic location. There’s also a safety device, which prevents any damage to the gear in case it’s used incorrectly. Visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, the movement—which offers a 50-hour power reserve—features finishing that conforms to the highest haute horlogerie standards, including Côtes de Genève decoration.

The crown is embellished with a blue or amber sapphire, which adds a touch of glamour. The stainless steel bracelet—especially the one seen on two versions that are fashioned with bi-coloured bracelets owing to their rose gold-plated links—is minimalistic and sophisticated.

In 2016, Maurice Lacroix, introduced new watches for ladies in its Eliros collection. These latest models incorporate numerous improvements, including a superior-quality finishing—a hallmark of fine watchmaking. The new case design incorporates additional curved edges and a new convex profile for the sapphire crystal. The curved lugs are optimally balanced, thereby improving the ergonomics of the watch. Gracing the vertical plane of the crown, the brand’s ‘M’ logo is more defined and sits adjacent a frosted surface, imparting improved tactility. The caseback of the new Eliros is flatter, providing additional comfort for the wearer. New three-dimensional indexes have also been introduced for the dial to provide better legibility for each model. This has also been further improved by the addition of an antireflective treatment on the sapphire crystal glass on each watch. The Eliros Lady timepieces come in 30mm stainless steel cases with sun-brushed dials in silver or blue. There is an entire red gold-plated option as well with a matching case and bracelet, which makes for quite a vision on the wrist. The metal bracelets are flexible with nine-link rows, allowing extra comfort and flexibility to the wearer. All the watches are powered by accurate quartz movements.
