帕玛强尼荣推Tonda Chronor Slate计时码表,由品牌制表中心的制表厂联合打造,采用18K玫瑰金或白金材质,每款仅限量发行25枚。

 

某种程度上而言,帕玛强尼在时计方面的专业技艺起源于品牌对詹姆斯·考克斯 (James Cox) 于18世纪所打造的一对怀表的修复,它们目前收藏于Edouard & Maurice山度士基金会。这对怀表中的每一枚都配备跳秒装置:一根秒针,每秒钟旋转一圈。

 

帕玛强尼的历史开始于1976年米歇尔•帕玛强尼 (Michel Parmigiani) 创办修复工坊之时。这标志着他开始深度研究机械古董杰作。由此促成了帕玛强尼品牌的创立,此后发展壮大的公司也一直都留有一间修复工坊,能够修复任何钟表作品。这也一直是品牌所有作品的灵感之源。
