Parmigiani Fleurier’s two rattrapantes, or how to reappropriate time

An invitation to reset our relationship to time, these refined timepieces deliver instantaneous and intuitive measurements that capture the rhythm of contemporary life. The beauty of these complications lies in their extreme user-friendliness.

The ingenious mechanics behind these deceptively simple-looking watches alter the way countdowns and dual time complications are viewed and activated. In a departure from conventional graduated rotating bezels, an additional gold hand concealed under the minute hand executes the task - minute countdown on the Minute Rattrapante and GMT indication on the GMT Rattrapante - without marring the understated elegance of the Tonda PF.

The “rattrapante” denomination of both timepieces describes the motion performed by the extra hand when it jumps back to its concealed position, similar to a split-seconds chronograph hand.

About Parmigiani Fleurier

Founded in 1996 by master watchmaker and restorer Michel Parmigiani, Parmigiani Fleurier is an independent Swiss Haute Horlogerie Maison rooted in the culture of high horological restoration, the discipline of understanding and perpetuating the mechanical arts before imagining what comes next.

Supported by the Sandoz Family Foundation and anchored in its vertically integrated Pôle Horloger, the Maison draws on a rare concentration of specialist expertise spanning movements, components, cases and dials. This depth of industrial and artisanal knowledge affords Parmigiani Fleurier exceptional creative and technical freedom to pursue its own vision of contemporary Haute Horlogerie.

Its watchmaking ranges from the distilled purity of TONDA PF and the sartorial character of TORIC to exceptional movements, world-first complications and rare Objets d’Art, each an expression of mechanical intelligence, craftsmanship, proportion and restraint.

This is Parmigiani Fleurier’s vision of Private Luxury: not a luxury of display, but of discernment. Created for connoisseurs who value knowledge, substance and individuality, it is a contemporary expression of Haute Horlogerie conceived for tomorrow’s purist.
