Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda Metropolitaine Selene Galaxy

Marina Milojević | 01.03.18 | 11:15 PM

In 2016, the house of Parmigiani Fleurier introduced a beautiful feminine timepiece designed to represent the phases of the Moon. The Tonda Métropolitaine, equipped with the in-house movement and entirely created in the Parmigiani Fleurier workshops, is now making a notable comeback as a special edition featuring a shimmering aventurine dial.

The new, particularly poetic edition, Tonda Métropolitaine Sélène Galaxy, is fitted out with a deep blue dial whose surface is molted with fine golden flecks. The shimmering dial, representing the galaxy, charmingly replicates the twinkling of the stars in the nocturnal sky.

The iconic delta-shaped hands are now skeletonized and outlined with pink gold, as not to conceal the unusual beauty of the rare aventurine gemstone. In addition, the bezel is set with 72 brilliant cut diamonds, totaling 0.51 carats, capturing and refracting the light to emphasize the allure of the dial.

The small seconds complication is visible at 6 o’clock position, revealing the date on a black background. The russet moon, magnified thanks to its surface made up of craters, appears at 12 o’clock position. The realistic reinterpretation of the Earth’s only permanent natural satellite is obtained by applying successive layers of transfers. It emerges and conceals behind the wisps of cloud to indicate the position of the Moon at the observation of the Northern Hemisphere.

The Tonda Métropolitaine Sélène Galaxy is crafted from stainless steel and its round case measures 33.2mm in diameter. The case accommodates the PF318 movement equipped with a moon phase module. A special corrector located at 9 o'clock allows the wearer to independently index the moon in relation to the day and date in order to match its phase to the geographic reference location. The PF318 self-winding movement has a power reserve of 50 hours and is lavishly decorated with circular-graining, Côtes de Genève engraving, and beveling.
