Tonda PF Micro Rotor Platinum will take your breathe away with its subtlety
Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro Rotor Platinum

The new Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Platinum is a subtle luxury statement with a minimalistic design—a laid-back aesthetic that’s quite interesting.

Speaking on the design, Michel Parmigiani. founder and master watchmaker, said, "The Golden Ratio is far more than a mathematical formula: it is the universal breath that orders beauty and harmony. Every creation I shape—from the curves of the lugs to the guilloché patterns—carries this eternal balance. It is the guiding thread, the invisible essence that connects the case’s proportions, the grace of the hands, and the soul of every timepiece. Through it, watchmaking becomes a silent poetry, an echo of nature’s immutable laws.”

However, as I made my way up North from Madison Square Park to The Prince George Ballroom in the Flatiron District, I found myself in a different sort of environment, the kind where the designer of the collection about to walk down the runway also served as the DJ. From the clothes to the tunes to the ideology, Rayan Alami had a hand in every aspect of his New York Fashion Week debut. After seeing designer after designer with the same philosophies throughout New York, Alami embodied the name of his debut collection at Fashion Week, "I am Different."
Using music and culture to blend a unique style

New York Fashion Week is essentially an opportunity to blend art and fashion into one and tell a story through sartorial expression. While designers find inspiration in all walks of life, Alami uses his multicultured heritage and his love of music to blend a style truly unique in the industry.
