Thank you for sharing our passion! I am looking forward reading your comments and answering your questions! By the way: did you already watch our first Parmigiani video? No! Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/NvmVtiSDlAI/видео.html
I think this it the 10th time I see the video and every time I love it and enjoy it more and more. I still think that my PF is the rattrappante. However this Pf is absolutely beautiful 😍 congrats to all the owners. You guys go beyond flex and hype to a true unique luxury brand.
One of the best videos about the creation of Haute Horlogerie time pieces on RUclips. Have already watched it 3 times now. Guido is such a nice and passionate host. Could listen to him all day. And the integrated manufacturing process is amazing. Kudos to PF and WA for showing these skills to the public. More of this please! I actually tried on a Tonda today (rose gold skeleton) and was amazed by the elegance of the watch, the thinness, and especially how comfortably it wore on the wrist. I put my name down for the steel version and hope I will get it in a not too distant future.
Ich bin sehr beeindruckt von dieser Serie und warte ungeduldig auf die nächsten Teile. Und: toll, wie Du das CEO Netzwerk ausbaust und mit allen Passionistas dieser Branche sprechen kannst. Diese Einblicke sind Gold wert. Danke!
Wonderful video. The video increased the pleasure I get as I wear this watch! Just one thing…I would have liked to see some details regarding the actual fashioning of the guilloche. Keep up the great work and I look forward to the next installment of the series.
Thank you Alexander and Guido for this part of the guide for the making of the watch case and the dial. The human activities add so much more to a machined blank and arguably add that bit of unique personality to each case. People often do not understand how much time, effort and the shear number of operations that go into making watch parts. It's great to hear about the QC/QA for testing, procedures and lessons learned etc. Great video, I'm looking forward to the next one.
"This is not pornography." Nice one! :) This watch is really growing on me. I have to check it out in the flesh again. There's just something special about it.
@@WatchAdvisor I already checked the watch out last week but unfortunately I forgot to take some photos. I love that this watch stands on it's own legs and doesn't seem like a "borrowed" design. It wraps perfectly around my wrist and works extremely well ergonomically. It's really something simple (at first glance) and unique that you'll probably not see on a lot of peoples wrists. Also the movement looks stunning. Another watch that sparked the same feeling was the Moser Streamliner Centre Seconds.
Again, thanks for doing this. Still wait for mine, maybe you saw mine to be manufactured 😉 My AD told me that there is an incredible demand for the micro rotor piece, which PF wasn't expecting. But this makes me happy because I think the timepiece absolutely deserves it! I would have loved to see in detail how the guillochage is applied, but some secrets need still to be kept I assume 😉 I'm looking forward seeing the next part. And I'm pleased seeing how involved Guido is in this. I don't think it's normal that a CEO of the company is taking the time to show you around in that detail. Very symphatic!
Guido is so passionate, I love it! That’s what the industry needs and this is why we will support him as much as we can, since we are passionate too… I keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 for your Tonda! 😉
Wonderful video Alexander- thank you. These pieces are exquisite and I imagine there will be a huge demand for them. Mr Terreni seems absolutely focused and committed to what PF's design language is. Reading between the lines, it seems PF is the watchmakers watch maker. I can't wait for the other video's.
It is very concerning that hand knurling has been replaced by CNC. "Since the brand’s creation in 1996, Michel Parmigiani had worked with the same artisan who applies the knurling to every single Toric watch by hand. Through his creations, the brand helps to keep this precious skill alive."
@@WatchAdvisor in reply to @inkhaurt below you said: "It is manufactured as shown in the video…" that would be by CNC machine in this case for the Tonda PF example
@@WatchAdvisor Hi Alexander,I am a bit confused,so is the knurling bezel done by hand or machine?cuz in the parmigiani webside,the spec ‘s page also said is “hand knurling bezel”..
Hi Alex !! It is fascinating how technology and engineering make mechanics in watches a true art, every facet of assembly is interesting, manual work, the final result a great piece for a lucky owner, by the way great journalistic coverage !!
When the Sandoz Family Foundation is involved everything is handled in a very discrete way … check out this link… www.sandozfondation.ch/en/watchmaking-club
Alexander, that was a great video. It is so fun to see how much care and artisan skill is involved with these watches. Guido was very generous to be so open about sharing the whole process and your content was so enjoyable. Thank you.
To work for such a passionate CEO would be pure pleasure… that’s the type of manager this industry desperately needs… there are far too many technocrats in leading positions…
Danke Alex für die Werkführung und die einzelnen Arbeitsschritte man sieht der CEO brennt für diese Marke sehr authentisch und ein sympathischer Gentleman. Sehr schöne Manufaktur hat mir sehr gut gefallen, mit Liebe zum Detail.
GOD BLESS YOU ALEXANDER. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE MY FRIEND. 🙏
@@WatchAdvisor YOU ARE VERY WELCOME ALEXANDER. I HAVE NOT CELEBRATED CHRISTMAS FOR YEARS. I AM PRAYING WITH ALL OF MY HEART TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS, BLESSINGS AND LIFE TODAY. I TRULY AND SINCERELY CANNOT THANK GOD ENOUGH FOR MR. ESPARZA AND ALL OF MY WONDERFUL FRIENDS. 🙏🎅🎄🎁🙏
Hello, Alexander. Impressive : technology and human touch . These whatches are représentative of Real "Luxe" for sure. Amazing. Congratulations for your work. Bravo
Thanks for your kind feedback! Not everything that claims to be a luxury product is a real one… luxury is for sure not mass production… luxury also very much involves the human being… in this case highly talented artisans…
It's wonderful to see the whole process. I've always liked their watches, but never knew much about the company. I have to go back and watch the first episode now!
Once you discover what is behind a watch it is hard not to like it… it is a huge orchestra of highly talented artisans in this case directed by a very charismatic CEO…
We unfortunately couldn’t show every little detail… manufacturing a luxury watch is a complex process … there are no coincidences… everything must be perfect…
This is wonderful, I just saw an article about who they make cases and dials for, cases for Patek and dials for AP and Lange! The more you show this model Alexander the more I fall in love with it. You could probably sell your OP for a profit and get one of these!
That’s only some of the companies the Sandoz Family Foundation Watchmaking Centre works with though… If you count them all they deliver their products to 50 watchmaking companies …
@@WatchAdvisor Alexander, is this the same family that made watches many years ago under their own name? I often see those come up for sale here in Austria, they made some lovely looking watches back then!
Turn your account into a Premium Account and then you don’t have to watch any adverts anymore… By the way what is a Vincero? The adds on RUclips are auctioned … the one who pays the most gets them…
True! Machines only help where they are needed and where they make sense... What we can state is that all the tasks to finish a watch are fulfilled by highly trained artisans/engineers ...
Thank you Alexander and Guido for the detailed tour. I have two questions regarding two components which are the bezel and the guilloche. 1-Bezel: From what I understood from this video, the decoration on the bezel (Moltage) is done by machine, right? I remember that in other models like the Toric the moltage is hand-knurled by specialist with an antique machine. So, is it done by machine when it comes to the Tonda because platinum is harder to hand-knurl, while in the Toric it’s done by hand because gold is easier to hand-knurl? 2-Dial guillochage: What I understood from the video is the the guilloche pattern is done by CNC machine. Would that be correct? Or is it done with a traditional engine-turned guilloche machine?
@@WatchAdvisor Alexander, I just read in Hodinkee’s article on the new PF models where Guido mentions that it’s authentic hand-turned guillochage. So, what to believe here 😅?
@@inkhaurt5812 The dial of the Tonda PF is not engine-turned, the pattern is so fine you need the help of a CNC machine, the bezel is made out of platinum, also here a machine does the work since platinum is a very hard material … Also due to increased production quantities it is no longer possible to do this uniquely by hand… That’s what is actual today… I don’t know how old the article is though…
@@WatchAdvisor The article is from 26 October 2021, so around the time of the introduction of the Tonda PF collection. Here’s the exact excerpt: "Returning to the dial side, each Tonda PF model has received an identical Grain d'Orge guilloché decoration. And to be clear, this is genuine guilloché, finished on a rose engine lathe in Fleurier. The alternating, weave-like guilloché pattern is genuinely breathtaking in person. Terreni points out that no other high-end sport-lifestyle watch features authentic guilloché. I had to think about it a bit, and depending on how you characterize the current-gen Breguet Marine dial finish, I believe he's right (though I look forward to being proven wrong in the comments section)." Link to the article: www.hodinkee.com/articles/parmigiani-tonda-pf-collection
@@inkhaurt5812 In the early days of that watches it might have been done by hand… today with the quantities desired machines took over some work… Nota bene : this is not done to save costs …
Alexander is is a real entertaining and pleasurable experience watching presentations like this👍 There should be more people like Guido interviewed, I have seen a few, more would be appreciated 😃 So did you wear one of the Nlue Brothers in this episode😎
Entertaining you is what we are here for… I am happy to read this! Guido in fact stands out… just like Edouard Meylan, Max Büsser, Davide Cerrato, Benoit Mintiens, … I was wearing my new Rolex with the yellow dial…
Lieber Alexander, vielen Dank für diese Einblicke mit einem CEO, der an Leidenschaft, Freundlichkeit und Sympathie kaum zu übertreffen ist. PF war bis dato nie auf meiner Shopping List. Meine kommende Uhr sollte eine Vacheron werden, aber bereits nach der 2. Folge war für mich klar, es wird eine Tonda GT Rose Gold Silver Black Cyclope. Herr Terreni, kombiniert mit Deiner Vorstellung haben mich restos in den Bann der Marke gezogen.
Wow 🤩! Was soll ich da jetzt noch schreiben? Bin sprachlos/buchstabenlos… Danke für dieses wunderbare Feedback… Bitte lass mich wissen, wenn Du irgendwelche Fragen hast…
Stunning watch and awesome video. Thank you Alexander and Guido for sharing the insight of the process. Definitely just as good if not better than the hyped watches.
Forget the hyped watches … 😜 … not that they aren’t excellent watches … but think out of the box and show you are open for more … these are luxury watches 2.0!
Congratulations! Bravo! May your Tonda always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours… The video will definitely come, but I wait until I get the possibility to film the making of the hairsprings… this is for me an essential part that we want to show… until now discussions go forward and backward… The Horology pool of the Sandoz Foundation is quite complex … 🤷🏼♂️
@@WatchAdvisor thanks! Great to hear. What would also be very interesting is the Guilloché making. But I think it was intentionally skipped by Guido to keep the secret. I met him a few weeks ago but forgot to ask…
Still to come … I know… the brand is performing so strong, that it’s focus is on manufacturing and selling actually … we didn’t find the slot so everybody is available… Sorry!
Alexander have you ever thought of showing us your collection or pat there of, and pointing out why you bought the watch? It might be in the future perhaps?😃
great to see such attention to detail, a world away the likes of Rolex. vraiment haute horlogerie - but at a fair price. especially pre-owned! just go easy on the videos, I don't want everyone finding out about them!
Yes! When will the movement manufacturing video be available? This gave us the perfect look into luxury watchmaking, and our thirst is not quenched yet!
Beautiful, but they need a name change (maybe separate the manufacturer brand from the watch brand, the manunfacturer remain Parmigiani and add a new name for the watch brand) because with Pizza parmigiani name is hard to be in the big league. For a conoseur yes, Parmigiani and JLC are real watchmakers, but for public succes the Parmigiani name is wrong. If I was the CEO of Parmigiani, I will buy the brand Universal Geneve (or someting historical watch brand) and with Parmigiani manufacture skill I relaunch that brand.
parmigiani: sounds like cappucino, panettone, parmigiano reggiano :). change the Name immediately, people cant take this watch with this name seriously
I’m sorry (Not actually) but a comment like this makes you sounds like an 12 year old. I can read it in Homer Simpson’s voice and it would sound even sillier lol.
So, parmigiani vs parmigiano (parmezan cheese) does not sound similar for you? Ok, but who will buy a watch that sounds like a cheese? Or im i wrong here? Whats next? Canolli bracelet? :)
@@canahun "Oh hoHoOhAhA! LoOk! tHaT mAn’S nAmE sOuNdS LiKe ChEeSe 😂🤣😆" in Homer Simpson’s voice or maybe Zoolander’s voice to sound even stupider lol. Just grow up and accept the fact there are certain words and names that sound like other words, and tell yourself that "I’m not gonna be shallow and childish to make something this silly the hill I die on."

I am happy to read this! Thanks for sharing our passion!
Alexander have you ever thought of showing us your collection or pat there of, and pointing out why you bought the watch?
It might be in the future perhaps?😃
Good idea, yes.... But I will never show my private collection! These are my personal watches and they shall stay private... Sorry!
Spoken like a true collector👍😃
Very interesting inside look, I love everything except the name Parmigiani...
Thanks for sharing our passion! Parmigiani is the name of the founder of the company… there is nothing one can change…
great to see such attention to detail, a world away the likes of Rolex. vraiment haute horlogerie - but at a fair price. especially pre-owned! just go easy on the videos, I don't want everyone finding out about them!
I hear you 😉😆 Thanks for sharing our passion!
Is the guilloche made by hand-operated rose engine?
No, this guilloche is so fine that it needs a bit of more modern machines to do it…
@@WatchAdvisor As I guessed because you didn't show any detail about it 😉
@@chia-mingyang5804 I was not supposed to disclose all secrets … 😉
@@WatchAdvisor Understood!
@@andresfg6788 AP also makes their RO dials by machine.
Alex thanks for the content!
I have a question: where Parmigiani takes their bracelets? Are they made in Switzerland?
Yes, they are made in Switzerland by an external supplier...
@@WatchAdvisor Then, why are there no swiss made stamps on the bracelets?
De l'ultra luxe, la 🕋 de la haute horlogerie...
Ouiiiiiiii!
Will you ever post the 2 other videos? This appears to be the last one posted and is titled 2 of 4.
Of course we will… we had some technical issues with the filmed material and are step by step fixing it… Sorry for the delay…
Yes! When will the movement manufacturing video be available? This gave us the perfect look into luxury watchmaking, and our thirst is not quenched yet!

Dials arent's guillochés, because done by automatic machines. Only dials decorated by hand-driven machines can hold this name.
Meanwhile the dials are done by hand-driven machines…
Beautiful, but they need a name change (maybe separate the manufacturer brand from the watch brand, the manunfacturer remain Parmigiani and add a new name for the watch brand) because with Pizza parmigiani name is hard to be in the big league. For a conoseur yes, Parmigiani and JLC are real watchmakers, but for public succes the Parmigiani name is wrong.
If I was the CEO of Parmigiani, I will buy the brand Universal Geneve (or someting historical watch brand) and with Parmigiani manufacture skill I relaunch that brand.
The remarks about the name are obsolete and meaningless! Sorry!
parmigiani: sounds like cappucino, panettone, parmigiano reggiano :). change the Name immediately, people cant take this watch with this name seriously
The remarks about the name are obsolete and meaningless! Sorry!
I’m sorry (Not actually) but a comment like this makes you sounds like an 12 year old. I can read it in Homer Simpson’s voice and it would sound even sillier lol.
So, parmigiani vs parmigiano (parmezan cheese) does not sound similar for you? Ok, but who will buy a watch that sounds like a cheese? Or im i wrong here? Whats next? Canolli bracelet? :)

Just grow up and accept the fact there are certain words and names that sound like other words, and tell yourself that "I’m not gonna be shallow and childish to make something this silly the hill I die on."
