The New Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Ultra-Cermet Mineral Blue
Parmigiani Fleurier has released a new Tonda PF Sport Chronograph featuring a unique 'Ultra-Cermet' material. This hybrid of ceramic and titanium offers high durability and a metallic aesthetic, housing a high-frequency COSC-certified movement.
Why it matters
It represents a significant advancement in luxury watchmaking materials, blending high-tech engineering with traditional horological craftsmanship.
Unlike conventional ceramics, Ultra-Cermet is a hybrid material composed of ceramic and approximately 40% titanium. It combines the hardness (rated at approximately 1,450 Vickers) and scratch resistance of ceramic with the cool touch, metallic appearance and structural characteristics of metal. Its manufacturing process is based on sintering, in which ultra-fine ceramic and titanium powders are compressed under heat and pressure without reaching their melting point. The material is then machined using diamond tooling, allowing Parmigiani to create thin, complex components with exceptional precision.
