The new Toric Fleur, presented in a rose gold case made entirely within the Parmigiani Fleurier watchmaking center, features a delicate lace design of marguerites on its dial. A long-time student of nature and the golden ratio, as well as a passionate admirer of Japanese culture, Michel Parmigiani was inspired by the subtle grace of this flower as seen in the meadows of the Swiss Jura.
The spring sea
Swaying gently
All day long
As he was reading this haiku written by the master poet Yosa Buson, evoking the undulating waves of the sea, Michel Parmigiani had the idea to create a timepiece to illustrate the permanence of the spring, the remembrance of the passage of time.
Featuring a rose gold case in 33.7 mm, the Toric Fleur is fitted with the subtly knurled bezel typical of the Toric collection. Arabic figures indexes are applied on the white mother of pearl dial, while the delicate gold lace design evokes a carpet of marguerites adorning the Swiss valleys in Spring.
Driven by the automatic in-house calibre PF310, the leaf-shaped hands with luminescent material, another tribute to nature, indicate the hours and minutes. The small seconds hand appears at six o’clock. A white opal cabochon graces the crown of the watch.
The case back offers a captivating spectacle, the Côtes de Genève bridges are shaped like a hand fan while the gold rotor is delicately engraved with a barley grain motif.
The watch comes together with a Hermès calf leather strap.
