Parmigiani gave its distinctive take on the integrated sport watch design trope with the Tondagraph GT, first released in 2020. With a striking textured dial and an integrated bracelet, the brand promised a timepiece that plays with established design codes and yet delivers a unique aesthetic, a watch we took the fancy of instantly.

The case is timeless with recognisable teardrop lugs and a bezel, which is knurled towards the outer ring and smooth on the inner. The bracelet carries a satin finish with alternate brushed surfaces. The sapphire crystal on the dial side is domed, whereas the rear has an exhibition caseback flaunting the calibre PF043 with a striking skeletonised 18k gold rotor and a power reserve of 45 hours. The mechanism boasts a whopping 443 component parts which are smoothly run with the help of 56 jewels.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
