my "impulse" buy
Apr 04, 2011,04:52 AM
For a couple of weeks I have wanted a dual time zone watch whereby both
times are completely independent since I will be doing plenty of
traveling to +0.5 hours timezone.
I was completely sold on the FP Journe Resonance but did not have the opportunity to see one "live".
So when I was in Shanghai, passed by the Parmigiani boutique, and went home with this...
The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda 42 Hemisphere.
It's a great watch, great size, and love the open-worked case. Kinda give it a skeletonized look and it has two day/night indicators (which the FP Journe did not).
Not as prestigious as the FP Journe, but the watch provides me with the functions I need.
Sorry for the bad picture....
oh, and I bought this for the wife...

My wife and I own several Parmigianis, and while I wasn't a big fan of the initial Hemispheres watches, I really like this open dial treatment a lot. Nice choice! Best, Gary G

finally you take the shot on Parmigiani, although I dont know much about this beast, it is very interesting complication watch for traveller. I would still keep my dreaming of Sonata as best traveller watch huge congrats again and enjoy best, ES
it was really difficult...

.... trying to find a lange / patek that suits what i need. I bought the watch plainly and simply because of its complication. A case of necessity and functionality over aesthetics and brand. However, so far, it is growing on me... Cheers, GG
These watch photos look unusual to me

Not to nitpick, as I am certainly not a good photographer, but the parmigiani does not look right in the date window... note the position of the 3 compared to the rest of the visible date wheel. I have also never seen a patek model like this one shown wit...
yes ...
