Parmigiani Fleurier

A skeleton watch is basically a timepiece that takes away the usual dial and opens up the movement so you can see the gears, barrel and escapement doing their job. It’s part tech-showcase, part design move: good skeleton work isn’t just “see-through” for the sake of it, it highlights structure and finishing so the mechanics become the design.

The Parmigiani Tonda PF Skeleton does that on a modern sports-dress canvas. It keeps the Tonda PF’s clean lines — platinum knurled bezel, steel integrated bracelet and a restrained overall profile — but replaces a solid dial with an architectural openwork view. The bridges and plates are carefully pared back so the movement becomes the visual center without turning the watch into a gaudy statement piece.

On the wrist the steel 40mm Tonda PF Skeleton feels like a high-end everyday watch — refined, not flashy. It’s for someone who likes visible craftsmanship and appreciates finishing details, but also wants something they can actually wear to work or out on weekends.
