Introduction

Founded in 1996 by Michel Parmigiani, thanks to the support of the Sandoz Family Foundation, Parmigiani Fleurier has quickly become one of the quiet giants of exquisite Swiss watchmaking. Thanks to their connection to the Sandoz family, Parmigiani Fleurier has been able to draw from technical resources that rival those of the biggest brands in the business. With access to Vaucher Manufacture, suppliers of movements to Richard Mille, Hermes, and other powerhouse brands, Parmigiani Fleurier certainly has the watchmaking heft behind them to perform just as well on the international stage as anyone else, even if their name isnt as recognisable as some others. Offered here we have one of Parmiginai’s best-known watchesm, the Toric Chronograph, thanks to King Charles of England, who is often seen spotted where his example. Featuring an elegant 40mm 18kt rose gold case with a stepped coin-edge bezel an elegant guilloche engraved silver dial and a wonderfully dressy aesthetic, the Toric Chronograph is a watch that speaks to the royalty of its famous wearer.
