Parmigiani Fleurier Transforma

Michel Parmigiani, founder and spirit behind Parmigiani Fleurier, belongs to one of the most talented watchmakers of our time.  He is creative, a silent mind, with an incredible touch for perfection and implementation of unique timepieces.  

On first glance, you may think that this is just another Chronograph, just a Chronograph like any other.  Well, look twice, or better, take the watch in your hand and look again…

This timepiece carries a good name which signifies its additional ability to showing just time and being a chronograph:  “Transforma“.  It can transfor from a wristwatch to a pocketwatch.

This Chronograph is a wristwatch and a pocketwatch in one.  You can easily take out the core watchcase and use it as a wristwatch.  While this appears odd in today’s times where noone really is wearing pocketwatches any more, I believe this is a great design feature and a neat idea.

You can see the case opened to take the watchcae out. 

This timepiece is delivered in a beautiful wodden box with an integratedwatchwinder.

The process of using the watch as pocketwatch and turning it into a wristwatch is shown nicely in the above picture. 

I am attending an event with Parmigiani tomorrow, and if I get the opportunity, I will add some real life pictures on Sunday.
