Though most brands are not fans of making one-off, personalized
watches, a select number of high-end brands a offer a bespoke, or highly
customized, watch service to their best clients and collectors. I’ve
previewed instances of such watches over the years — the Vacheron Constantin Philosophia is one such example; the Patek Philippe Ref 5016 minute repeater perpetual calendar tourbillon with red and black dial
is another. Parmigiani Fleurier is another such high end manufacture
that provides individual adaptation of its pieces. The brand recently
featured on its blog a recent customization, created for a customer in
Cologne, Germany.
A bespoke Parmigiani Transforma Chronograph
The watch is a Transforma model, a very special type of watch which can
be transformed from a wristwatch into a pocket watch, and also a table
clock. Three watches in one. The watch you see here was customized
with special dial colors. Check out more at Le Blog Parmigiani.
Due to the exclusive nature of such pieces and their owners, many of
them are never seen in public, save for the some such as the
aforementioned Patek which show up at auction on rare occasion. So it
is always a nice surprise to get a look at bespoke pieces such as this.
