Parmigiani Fleurier - Kalpa Chronor (SIHH 2018)

The Kalpa watch has been a symbol of Parmigiani Fleurier since its creation in 2001. The latest version carefully reinterprets the original design features, and each Kalpa is now fitted exclusively with shaped movements, developed in-house. Its hallmark features – the tonneau case, the teardrop lugs and the understated dial with Delta-shaped hands – are the result of careful consideration of ergonomics, proportions and optimal readability, and come together to form the perfect showcase for these new manufacture calibres. It’s a return to the company’s early days and the first tonneau movement created by founder Michel Parmigiani 20 years ago. Ahead of the upcoming SIHH event, the brand has unveiled three initial interpretations of this refresh of both form and content: the Kalpa Chronor, Kalpagraphe Chronomètre and Kalpa Hebdomadaire men’s models. The Kalpa story continues with distinctively shaped movements for distinctively shaped watches, remaining true to the ideals of consistency and quality craftsmanship that are fundamental to the Fleurier manufacture.
