In-House Movement: The Purpose-Built PF777
At the heart of the Tonda PF Skeleton lies the in-house PF777 automatic movement. Unlike many skeletonized watches that adapt existing calibers, the PF777 was designed from the ground up with skeletonization in mind. This fundamental design choice results in superior legibility and a refined aesthetic.

Brand Evolution and Market Position
Parmigiani Fleurier has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, evolving from a small independent watchmaker into a serious high-end brand. The Tonda PF line has been instrumental in this transition, offering refined design language and exceptional finishing.
"Parmigiani is really good at consistent execution," notes Hodinkee. "I'm not sure there's a watch in their catalog that isn't helping them move in the right direction."
