Kalpa Piccola and Kalpa Donna Anniversaire - Parmigiani Fleurier
To celebrate 20 years of watch production, Parmigiani Fleurier presents an anniversary edition of the Kalpa Piccola and the Kalpa Donna ladies collections.

The dials of the Kalpa Piccola and Kalpa Donna Anniversaire are decorated with mother-of-pearl, a uniquely precious, feminine material. This mother of pearl has been engraved to give a flinqué effect, whilst reflecting the hour divisions. The pattern therefore becomes a form of index. A small diamond is harmoniously inserted at 12 o’clock into the dial’s surface using a closed setting. Serving as a focal point, it creates a play of light that radiates across the mother of pearl, accentuating the impression of depth. The Parmigiani Fleurier logo appears at the bottom of the dial, harking back to the brand’s very first timepieces – a fitting reference for an anniversary piece.

Four colours of mother-of-pearl dials are available. A mandarin orange dial paired with a red leather strap; a luminous white dial with an off-white leather strap; a lilac dial whose reflections are set off by an enamel white leather strap; and finally, a Tahitian mother of pearl dial accompanied by an “étoupe” leather strap. A steel bracelet is also available with all of these colours, adding a dash of modernity to the piece.

The case made of steel houses the Parmigiani Fleurier’s new all-gold quartz movement. The main plate, bridges and gears have been produced in-house and decorated according to the most demanding standards of Haute Horlogerie. 

A central bridge takes the shape of the iconic lug at the heart of Parmigiani Fleurier’s visual identity. This motif is also engraved across the other surfaces of the movement, creating a myriad of symbols that dance around three rubies. Creating this decoration is a very delicate process, due to the difficulties inherent in working with gold, and owing to the extremely thin bridges, designed in a way to keep the piece as refined as possible.

The Kalpa Piccola Anniversaire and the Kalpa Donna Anniversaire are two sister collections that differ only in their dimensions. The Kalpa Piccola measures 29.5 x 24.5 mm, while the Kalpa Donna measures 34.8 x 24.8 mm.
