Parmigiani: "Femme" la collection


 

A FEW FRAGMENTS OF ETERNITY

Its name evokes the infinite mysteries of time. Beautifully rounded for visual harmony, its curves are a contemporary application of the principles of proportionality. Its highly distinctive case lugs, cambered profile or strap designed to merge seamlessly into the case middle, are embellished with brilliant-cut diamonds that may be set on each of its versions. It also radiates an extremely understated personality when the gleam of its metal, be it steel or gold, appears free of any other adornment. Its self-winding movement, PF Calibre 331, entirely developed and crafted by Parmigiani Fleurier, provides the guarantee of exceptionally refined craftsmanship. Composed of a broad range of dials (mother-of-pearl or sunburst guilloché in black, ivory or "Lilla" versions), straps (crocodile leather or mirror-finish calfskin) and materials (white gold, rose gold or steel), the Kalpa Grande ladies' models may be customised to fulfil each and every individual desire. Classic in a mother-of-pearl and gold version, distinctively urban in steel with a colourful sunburst guilloché dial, it becomes an ultra-contemporary evening adornment when a shower of diamonds enhances the face of the Ouranos model. Like a myriad dazzling stars, the diamonds arranged around the 18-carat white gold and white mother-of-pearl dial form a beautifully flowing graphic composition. All Kalpa Grande models are fitted with a Hermès leather strap featuring a folding clasp for steel watches and a pin buckle for the gold versions.

PLAYING WITH FIRE

Lit up by a fairytale array of diamonds, the new Joaillerie collection offers an exclusive interpretation of the Kalpa line, entirely paved with precious stones. Its powerful arched sides appear destined to wear such a luminous garment without altering the harmony of its curves. The shimmering radiance of the gems becomes unique as the countless diamonds set its founded shapes on fire. Crafted in white gold, the Kalpa Grande Joaillerie is entirely paved with brilliant-cut diamonds, totalling 17.2 carats running over its precious case and bracelet. The white mother-of-pearl dial reflects the theme of the new Kalpa ladies' collections, on which two lone numerals clad in precious stones testify to the passing of time. Particularly refined, the Kalpa Grande Joaillerie model set with white and pink diamonds features a delicate gradation of pastel hues perfectly matching the pink mother-of-pearl dial. Entirely developed and crafted within the Parmigiani Fleurier workshops, these models are driven by a self-winding movement, Parmigani Fleurier Calibre 331. Particularly well suited to any wrist, the Kalpa Joaillerie collection is also available in Donna and Piccola lines characterised by their more diminutive size and equipped with a top-quality quartz movement. Each of them may be chosen with either a gem-set bracelet or satin strap.

A GEM IN DAILY LIFE

Highly cosmopolitan and designed to ensure a level of comfort tailored to the frantic pace of contemporary women, the Kalpa Donna and Piccola collections in 18-carat gold feature multiple and consistently elegant facets. Graceful and refined, they embody exactly the jewellery-watch that Parmigiani Fleurier sought to create for women wishing to wear a precious and enduring timepiece. The all-new sleek lines of the Kalpa Donna are distinguished by a streamlined profile, thus creating a lighter feel and a closer fit on the wrist. The Kalpa Piccola has been adjusted to ensure a more flexible choice. These enhanced aesthetic features called for the use of a top-quality quartz movement with a diminutive size ideally suited to this model. The Kalpa Donna and Piccola gold models offer a broad range of variations. Radiating extreme elegance when rose gold is teamed simply with a black, "ficelle" or honey-coloured crocodile leather Hermès strap, they exalt the beauty of the noble metal when they come clothed in white or rose gold and adorned with two rows of brilliant-cut diamonds outlining the case and bracelet. The range consists of five sunburst galvanic guilloché dial colours with diamond numerals, along with three shades of mother of pearl.

SPARKLING TECHNICAL SOPHISTICATION

Mechanical excellence is a challenge that Parmigiani Fleurier wishes to share with women fascinated by exceptional horological creations. The Tourbillon of the Perpetual Calendar are technical wonders attuned to the very essence of femininity. In harmony with its pioneering watchmaking spirit, Parmigiani Fleurier is unveiling within this collection an entirely diamond-pavé Kalpa 30-second Tourbillon model with week-long power reserve. Its mechanical hand-wound movement, Parmigiani Fleurier Calibre 500, springs to life at the heart of the recently extended Manufacture in Fleurier. Featuring several major technical accomplishments, this Tourbillon model boasts enhanced performances thanks to its two rotations per minute, its capacity to run smoothly for seven days without being rewound, a carriage visible from both sides, and a centre seconds hand. Set with diamonds totalling 5.34 carats, the Kalpa Tourbillon is graced with a white mother-of-pearl dial that makes a perfect match with the mirror-finish white Hermès calfskin strap. The celestial myriads of diamonds illuminating the Toric Perpetual Calendar are a glittering tribute to the infinity of space and time. The graphic constellations depicted on the dial evoke the mysteries of eternity. They are composed of groups of stars visible in the Northern or Southern hemispheres, each of them represented by a brilliant-cut diamond set against a blue or black dial. The Toric Perpetual Calendar displays the days, the months, the retrograde date and the leap years until 2100. Calibre 333, entirely developed and crafted by Parmigiani Fleurier, provides an extremely accurate indication of the lunar cycles thanks to its additional gear train. These displays are also dual-natured, in that their positions observed from the North or South Pole are shown to be the exact opposite. Depending on the shade of the dial, the model is called "Luna Blù" or "Luna Rossa" and the bezel may be set with baguette-cut or brilliant-cut diamonds, respectively totalling 3 or 1.6 carats. The Haute Horlogerie ladies' models are endowed with the rigorous precision of a fine traditional timepiece, and the sparkling magic of formal evening wear.
