Parmigiani Fleurier Kalpagraphe

In the world of fine watchmaking, few brands embody discreet elegance like Parmigiani Fleurier. Born more from a passion for excellence than a quest for visibility, this maison represents a unique example of dedication to craftsmanship.

Its history began in 1976, thanks to the talent of Michel Parmigiani, a restorer capable of bringing forgotten masterpieces of watchmaking back to life. With skill and respect, Michel gave soul to complex objects, such as richly decorated pocket watches or ancient pendulums, transforming each intervention into a work of cultural conservation.

But Michel's dream did not stop at restoration. In 1996, thanks to the support of the Sandoz Foundation, Parmigiani Fleurier was born, a brand that combined the rigor of tradition with technological innovation. Each timepiece had to be the perfect balance between the legacy of the past and the vision of the future.

A distinctive aspect of the maison is its complete production autonomy. Through a network of specialized ateliers, Parmigiani manages every stage of the production of its watches, from design to finishing. This integrated approach guarantees uncompromising quality: precision movements, aesthetically refined dials and impeccably designed cases.

Iconic models such as the collection Tonda or the line Kalpa embody the brand's DNA of understated luxury and authenticity. These are not watches for those seeking ostentation, but for those who understand the value of craftsmanship.

Today, the spirit of restoration lives on at the heart of the brand. Parmigiani Fleurier continues to weave together past and present, creating pieces that are not just instruments for measuring time, but true symbols of heritage and innovation.

In an age dominated by speed, Parmigiani Fleurier reminds us that true luxury is an art that requires patience, attention to detail and a tireless commitment to excellence.

The Parmigiani Fleurier Kalpagraphe, reference PFC128-1001400-HA1441, represents a perfect balance between luxury and technical excellence. Its 18-karat rose gold case, with its unmistakable tonneau shape, measures 44.5 x 39.2 mm and is 12.8 mm thick. The transparent caseback offers a splendid view of the beating heart of the watch.

The finely textured black dial is distinguished by refined details: applied rose gold indexes and numerals, a precise minute track and an elegant layout of the functions. These include hours, minutes, small seconds at 3 o'clock, a chronograph with a 30-minute counter at 9 o'clock and a 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock, as well as an elongated date window at 12 o'clock.

Inside beats the automatic caliber PF334, a jewel of haute horlogerie composed of 303 components and 68 jewels. With a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of approximately 50 hours, it guarantees precision and reliability without compromise.

The design of the Kalpa collection is an icon of the Parmigiani Fleurier brand. The fluid lines, thin lugs and tonneau shape combine comfort and style in an unmistakable aesthetic. The black alligator leather strap, produced by Hermès, adds a touch of refinement, completing a watch that combines elegance and performance. Water resistant to 30 meters, it is the perfect companion for those seeking a timepiece with class and character.
