Hands-On Debut: Parmigiani Tondagraph GT Annual Calendar Chronograph
Alongside the Tonda GT this week, Parmigiani released the Tondagraph GT, a piece that I think is their most compelling product in recent memory. Sharing the same basic case and design of the Tonda GT (which I went into in detail here), the Tondagraph GT is a steel leisure watch featuring an annual calendar chronograph with 100M water resistance.Somewhat ironically, the annual calendar chronograph is rarer than the more complicated perpetual calendar. In fact, other than Patek Philippe, Ulysse Nardin, and Richard Mille, it's hard to think of anyone else producing these. The Tondagraph GT displays the annual calendar functions in orange, with the numerals in the big date window at 12 o'clock and the month aperture that takes up the bottom half of the seconds sub-dial at 3 o'clock standing out. I think this dash of orange adds just the right amount of color to a dial that is otherwise fairly monochromatic.
Bulova Accutron II Alpha Watch Hands-On Review
Bulova received an interesting makeover for 2014 that included a freshened brand logo as well as a complete over haul of the collection thanks to their new CEO. The Bulova watch lineup is more refined, focused on the heritage of the brand, and yet still eminently affordable. So what was one of Bulova’s priorities during the first year of this soft-relaunch? Offer a modern version of the famed Spaceview, of course.For 2014, Bulova has released the Bulova Accutron II Alpha collection of timepieces. The watches use a modern movement and are inspired by the first “Alpha” series of Accutron Spaceview watches from the 1960s that used pre-quartz tuning fork electronic movements.
