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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
