The two Swiss Maisons chose to work in close cooperation on the new Tonda 1950 G\u00fcbelin model, centered around rubies. Inspiration was drawn not only from the deep red shade of what the Ancients regarded as the most precious of all stones, but also from its inner beauty and its origins. Based on a microphotograph revealing the structure of a ruby, formed from a drop of basaltic magma imprisoned in ruby crystal during its growth, the designers of the two Maisons imagined a set of circles on the watch dial. The flamboyant ruby is artistically offset at 4 o\u2019clock and embedded within gold and diamond rings. The cut-out Delta-type hands ensure a clear view of the diamonds, while the G\u00fcbelin logo highlights the watch\u2019s kinship with its \u201cGlowing Ember\u201d jewelry collection. The back of the watch provides an equally beautiful view of the ultra-thin Manufacture Parmigiani Fleurier 702 caliber, with its beveled bridges, its C\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve decorative motif, and its ruby red-lacquered oscillating weight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonda 1950 G\u00fcbelin CASE : pink gold, bezel set with 84 rubies, waterresistant to 30m, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":31777,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[80,1674],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31780"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31780"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31780\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31781,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31780\/revisions\/31781"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
