Watches World - buy, sell or part-exchange a luxury watch.
On the eve of the New Year holidays, the decoration of our editorial office was an ultra-thin costume model marked with the logo of the brand Parmigiani from the Swiss town of Fleurier, which is notable for the high density of factories and specialized ateliers associated with the watch industry.
The watch is made in a round polished 39 mm case made of 18-carat rose gold, the thickness of which is determined at the level of 8 mm and is an elegant costume piece with a strict three-shot display.

The Tonda 1950 model was shown at the Geneva Salon of Fine Watchmaking in January 2011 and belongs to the most representative collection of the Michel Parmigiani brand – Tonda (from the Italian tondo, "round"), and the numbers 1950 mean nothing more than the year of birth of the founder of the brand.
The trademark of most of the master's creations are teardrop-shaped belt attachment shackles, which in our case harmoniously complement a thin case with a narrow bezel, a small crown crown and two sapphire glasses on opposite sides, while the spherical front glass is appropriately complemented with an anti-reflective coating.
Beneath it is a cream—colored dial, which the company itself describes as "Grained white" - with a fine grainy texture, on top of which are mounted overhead hour markers made of rose gold. The small seconds dial is slightly recessed, and its 5-second marking is printed in gray.
The image of the dial is completed by the manufacturer's logo at the "12 o'clock" position, framed by an oval element made of gold wire.
The central hands have the "delta" shape recognizable by many Parmigiani watches, are fixed on an axis with an elegant polished finish, and their size allows the use of filling with a luminescent composition, which does not look quite familiar for costume products, but is an invaluable help in conditions of insufficient lighting.
As for the fastening on the wrist, here the alligator leather belt made by Hermes acts as an assistant, the black color of which the manufacturer himself describes with the capacious term Havana. It is complemented by a classic pink gold peg clasp.
