Living for the City: Parmigiani Metro Collection

Metrographe

With a focus on both luxury and practical wear-ability, the new Tonda Metro Collection has something for every city dweller on the move.

The new Metrographe brings together the convenience of an automatic chronograph with a beautifully stylized dial housed in a 40mm steel case. With crisp, easy-to-read subsidiary registers measuring elapsed time, the Metrographe is a successful crossover into the realm of luxury sport timepieces. And with a sensibly sized case and distinctive design, this watch certainly won’t be mistaken for anything else.

If your day takes you well past the setting of the sun, opt for the Metrographe Luminous, which pairs the Metrographe’s sporting energy with some after-hours kick. Loaded up on SuperLuminova across the dial and hands, the watch positively glows well into the evening, ensuring the passage of time is measured precisely long after your internal clock has been switched off.

Men with active lifestyles, however, aren’t the only beneficiaries of the new Tonda Metro Collection. Highlights for women watch enthusiasts include the lovely Tonda Metropolitaine, offered with a choice of exotic dials showcasing the luxurious elements of design that Parmigiani Fleurier so effortlessly exudes.

The Tonda Metropolitaine with mother-of-pearl dial and diamond bezel is paired with a Hermès leather strap, while a lovely, textured-red dial highlights an all-steel bracelet model. Both make use of a perfectly proportioned 34mm steel case and Parmigiani’s PF310 automatic movement, making them some of the most desirable women’s watches on the market with mechanical movements. Both versions use rose gold prominently on the dial and hands and feature a subsidiary seconds and date function.
