The TONDA PF Minute Rattrapante is not a variation on a familiar theme, it is a horological invention, a new way of inhabiting time.
Created in line with the Maison’s purist vision, it expresses a belief: progress is not about multiplying complexity but about offering a more human gesture. Two superposed minute hands remain perfectly invisible until called upon. With a press of one of the two pushers, one minute – or five – is added.
Not to measure performance, but to give time: to prolong a moment,
slow the cadence, reclaim one’s rhythm.
No other watch offers such an intuitive, discreet, and personal relationship to time.
The TONDA PF Minute Rattrapante introduces a function never seen before in contemporary watchmaking: the ability to add time on demand. Two superposed minute hands – one in rhodium, one in rose gold – remain aligned and invisible until activated.
Three subtle controls shape the experience:
+1 minute at 10 o’clock
+5 minutes at 8 o’clock
Instant reset via the crown
This construction transforms a sophisticated mechanism into a simple, intuitive gesture. A discreet function that appears only when summoned – allowing its wearer to extend a moment, slow the pace, or adjust their rhythm with effortless clarity.
The Arctic Rose edition introduces a chromatic language rarely explored in high watchmaking. This pale, crystalline rose is conceived as a vibration of light rather than a traditional color. It shifts subtly with movement, revealing tonalities that range from cool silver to warm morning-rose depending on the angle. Its purpose is not to stand out, but to create a new form of discretion, a refinement perceived only by those who pay attention.
The dial’s Grain d’Orge guilloché amplifies this effect. Its ultra-fine geometry behaves like a diffraction surface, giving the Arctic Rose tone depth, texture, and a quiet radiance unique to the Maison’s craft. Paired with the platinum knurled bezel and the fluid ergonomics of the TONDA PF, the Arctic Rose dial becomes a signature: a modern, cultured expression of elegance shaped by proportion and by light.
