Top Swiss Luxury watch 2013, listed by Forbes - Parmigiani.

Tonda Woodstock, US.

Only Parmigiani, observed to be the new modern Patek is capable of such masterpieces with delicate work of art. In order to project a colorful and musical dynamism, the Swiss watch brand turned to the art of marquetry. This classic process consists of cutting and assembling wooden veneers-- in this case--on a flat surface in order to create a decoration of a classic modern piece. The Tonda Woodstock's special dial is designed with a Gibson guitar motif and an American flag in wood marquetry.

This daring piece dreamt by the Parmigiani designers is not only daring but a very creative flow of art. The guitar is an instrument with natural links to the wooden marquetry, using the Union Jack, the stars and the stripes to pay respect to the most influential country of rock and roll.
The Tonda tourbillion is the signature of the sound box, music and the art of watchmaking in a marriage of an instrument that comes to a life of through the oscillations of the complication.

There are two versions; British Tonda woodrock & American Tonda woodstock where sound and image are interchangeable, celebrating the culture of music through a master timepiece.

There is no doubt it targets the US market, but how will it perform is yet to be seen following the eccentric collectors or other enthusiasts.
