For the launch of the Watches & Wonders digital platform, Parmigiani Fleurier is proud to introduce the new Toric Tourbillon Slate, a distinguished timepiece representing the quintessence of refined watchmaking.

The ultra-thin PF517 movement, comprising a platinum micro-rotor, bridges with côtes de Genève decoration, and flying tourbillon, was developed following in-depth studies by the Manufacture's master watchmakers.

To keep the piece as slim as possible, the tourbillon was in fact integrated in the movement's main plate. The position of the tourbillon at 7 o'clock on the dial is a nod to the brand's founder, Michel Parmigiani, who was born at 7:08 am on December 2nd, 1950.

The tourbillon’s captivating and hypnotic movement is in harmony with the barley grain guilloché pattern of the slate-colored dial and is housed within a rose gold case inspired by Ancient Greek Doric columns and features a gaudron and knurling bezel.

The color of the javelin hour and minute hands echoes the rose gold of the case. The watch comes with a Hermès Havane leather strap.

The Toric was the first watch case designed by Michel Parmigiani, first introduced in 1996 for the launch of the brand that nowadays bears his name.

This new tourbillon piece joins other haute horlogerie pieces in the Toric collection and represent lifelong lessons in this master watchmaker’s career and background in restoration.

Michel Parmigiani has in fact dealt with mechanical marvels of the past, often unique, and has uncovered many of their secrets. He honors them in his modern collections, often inspired by history and re-imagined for today’s world.

Parmigiani Fleurier is proud to present the new Tondagraph Tourbillon. This new watch features a dial which forms part of the new line of timepieces from the manufacture; it perfectly marries modern stylistic design with traditional watchmaking.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The dial has been designed with the utmost care and attention to showcase the tourbillon and the chronograph. Naturally, this watch features the aesthetic codes of the Tonda collection – an ode to roundness – as well as the teardrop-shaped lugs which are characteristic of the brand. A hymn to Haute Horlogerie and a celebration of state-of-the-art expertise.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

This exquisite rose gold timepiece, measuring 43 mm in diameter, features a magnificent slate-colour guilloché dial. An opening at 6 o'clock showcases the ultra-sophisticated tourbillon, while a counter at 3 o'clock displays the minutes of the chronograph. The small seconds takes its place on the counter at 9 o'clock, while the power reserve is displayed at 12 o'clock.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The appliques and the skeletonised delta-shaped hour and minute hands elegantly pick up the colour of the case, crown and push-pieces. Powered by the PF354 manually-wound mechanical calibre, this watch offers a power reserve of 65 hours. As is always the case with Parmigiani, the decoration of the movement took a great deal of work.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The various finishes can be admired through the sapphire crystal at the back of the timepiece. Paired with a Hermès Havana alligator strap with rose gold pin buckle, this watch is water-resistant to 10 metres.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The PF354 movement, produced entirely in-house, contains no fewer than 295 components and has a power reserve of 72 hours. Its value can be appreciated in the minute details of its decoration, and reflects the degree of excellence upheld by the Parmigiani Fleurier watchmaking centre.

The bevelling of the tourbillon bridge and the circular graining on the barrel are both visible. Each calibre bears the inimitable hallmark of originality conferred by the craftsman's hand.

Hijri Perpetual Calendar

Parmigiani Fleurier is very proud to present a world premiere, its very first Hijri Perpetual Calendar wristwatch. The new calendar is based on technology Parmigiani Fleurier developed for an exclusive table clock launched in 2011 and inspired by the restoration of a pocket watch featuring an Arabic calendar. For the first time in Parmigiani Fleurier’s history, the Hijri Perpetual Calendar complication is made available in a wristwatch.

Parmigiani Fleurier is very proud to present a world pre-miere, its very first Hijri Perpetual Calendar wristwatch. The new calendar is based on technology Parmigiani Fleurier developed for an exclusive table clock launched in 2011 and inspired by the restoration of a pocket watch featuring an Arabic calendar. For the first time in Parmigiani Fleurier’s history, the Hijri Perpetual Calendar complication is made available in a wristwatch.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

In the Muslim world, the calendar is based on the cycles of the moon. The Hijri or Islamic lunar calendar consists of twelve months of 29 or 30 days – depending on the moon phase- and is used to pinpoint the days for Islamic holidays.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

In contrast to the solar calendar, which is used in the west, the months of the lunar calendar change annually by a difference of -10 to -12 days. As a result, each month always falls on a different season and there-fore varies from the Gregorian Calendar.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The starting point of Islamic time calculations is the emi-gration of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina in present-day Saudi Arabia in the year 622, known as Hijri, and is when the first Muslim community was founded.

This new piece features a 44.5 mm timepiece with a plat-inum case, a slate dial and rotor in platinum. It shows the hours and minutes, and date in Arabic numerals, the name and length of the months in Arabic calligraphy, as well as the abundant and the common years.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

It also fea-tures a moon phase in an aventurine sky and a power reserve of up to 48 hours. As seen in all Parmigiani time-pieces, every single component of the movement, even the hidden parts, are decorated by in-house specialists. No components were made of gold.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Every detail has been thought of and this stunning time-piece includes Arabic architecture inspired elements- the bridges adopt the shape of growing and shrinking cres-cent moons and the Rub el Hizb, an Islamic symbol represented by two overlapping squares.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

In addition, the aesthetic of the Hijri Perpetual Calendar wristwatch is inspired by the purest artistic elements and follows time-less codes often seen in Parmigiani Fleurier collections.

The lugs shape remain faithful to the brand’s ethos, designed to be ergonomic and comfortable on the wrist. This world-first is also fitted with a black Hermès alligator strap with a pin buckle.

Parmigiani Fleurier – TONDA Chronor Slate Edition

Parmigiani Fleurier – TONDA Chronor Rose Golg Slate Limited Edition 2019

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Parmigiani Fleurier is proud to present the Tonda Chronor Slate. This chronograph, created by the watchmaking centre's manufactures in 18 ct rose gold or white gold, is limited to 25 pieces of each.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

To a certain extent, Parmigiani Fleurier's expertise in the measurement of time is rooted in the restoration of two pair-cased pocket watches created by James Cox, pieces dating from the 18th century which are held by the Edouard and Maurice Sandoz Foundation collection. Each of these twin timepieces has a jumping seconds mechanism, formed of a hand which makes one revolution per second.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Parmigiani Fleurier's history began when Michel Parmigiani opened a restoration workshop in 1976. This marked the start of his in-depth study of the mechanical masterpieces of the past. It led to the creation of the Parmigiani Fleurier brand, and the company has continued to house a restoration workshop capable of working on any horological piece. This has been a source of inspiration for everything the brand has created.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

In 2017, the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda Chronor Anniversaire won the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève in the "Chronograph" category. This exceptional timepiece boasts many accomplishments, from its 5 Hertz movement to its two column wheels (one of which drives the split-seconds function), its vertical clutch, a balance held in place by a cross-through bridge, and the movement material: 18 ct rose gold.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

In 2019, Parmigiani Fleurier is delighted to unveil the Tonda Chronor Slate, a watch with a dial in rich slate grey. This timepiece is uniquely symbolic of the expertise of the Watchmaking Centre. All of its components, excluding the strap and sapphire crystal, have been produced by the different manufactures (Atokalpa, Elwin, Les Artisans Boîtiers, Quadrance & Habillage, and Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier). As is the norm at Parmigiani Fleurier, this watch is 100% Swiss Made.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

With a main plate and bridges made from gold, the heart which drives this masculine jewel of Haute Horlogerie is an exclusive hand-wound calibre PF361 which beats at 36,000 oscillations per hour. It comprises two column wheels. The Tonda Chronor Slate is actually an integrated chronograph with split-seconds. What is more, this function is actuated via a vertical clutch. To guarantee legibility, the counters are placed off-centre.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The dial of this timepiece also features many fine attributes, such as the pulsometer and tachymeter scales, the seconds and split-seconds hands (which are different colours for improved legibility) and the counters which are set slightly above the axis of the crown.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The conception and development of this watch required great skill and expertise, both in terms of its functions, all carefully designed to ensure a coherent whole – a rare feat – and also in terms of the aesthetic which runs through the interior and exterior.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The accuracy to 1/10th of a second and the challenge posed by shaping the extremely malleable gold are accomplishments that lovers of fine watchmaking are sure to fully appreciate.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Equally impressive is the design, which ensures that the movement is extremely durable and resistant to impacts, and the fine decoration on the drive components. A knurled bezel encloses the arc of the hands around the dial, and an alligator Hermès strap completes this precious timepiece.

Parmigiani Fleurier – TORIC Tecnica Ombre Noire

Parmigiani Fleurier – TORIC Tecnica Ombre Noire Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Gold 45 Edition - Unique piece

TECNICA OMBRE NOIRE
A name shrouded in mystery for a watch 

that plays with appearances

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The Tecnica Ombre Noire is an exceptional timepiece in more ways than one. This unique, poetically named piece by Parmigiani Fleurier celebrates a variety of complications from the great tradition of Haute Horlogerie, such as the perpetual calendar, minute repeater and tourbillon, whilst offering a very contemporary finish.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

As its name suggests, the Tecnica Ombre Noire puts the emphasis on darkness. The "rice-grain" guilloché slate-coloured gold dial contrasts with the 18-carat rose gold indices. An aperture at 6 o'clock allows you to admire the tourbillon, while the month, date, day and leap year indications, as well as the power reserve, occupy the upper part of the dial. The skeletonised delta-shaped hour and minute hands complete the ensemble and allow you to read the different measurements made possible by this highly complex timepiece.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The Tecnica Ombre Noire features an 18-carat rose gold case designed to optimise the resonance of the minute repeater chime. The case houses "cathedral" chimes. This type of chime makes the casing up operation even more complex than a standard complication.

The piece also features Parmigiani Fleurier's iconic teardrop-shaped lugs. These were inspired by Fibonacci and his golden ratio, both so important to Michel Parmigiani in all of his creations.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

As its name suggests, the Tecnica Ombre Noire is shrouded in mystery. For example, the minute repeater activator is integrated in the bezel. The traditional side bolt, which makes this grand horological complication so beloved of connoisseurs, is therefore absent. This mechanism posed a challenge for the development teams when ensuring the water resistance of the timepiece, as the surface area to be protected from water is much larger when a bezel is present.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Three grand complications are integrated in the hand-wound movement that drives the Tecnica Ombre Noire. In addition to the minute repeater with "cathedral" chimes, a tourbillon and a perpetual calendar place this timepiece in the category of the most complex timepieces in Haute Horlogerie.

As is the case for all Parmigiani Fleurier creations, all of the movement components were treated with the most delicate decorative work.
