This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.
This highly impressive unique piece is a tour-de-force of both exceptional horology and rare artisanal craftsmanship. Made especially for the present owner, a “Homme D’Exception” as engraved on the edge of the inner display back, the attention to detail and finish is outstanding. The movement is handmade with each bridge and plate cast and chased with part of a stylized design that together become one. Unlike other Kalpa 30-second tourbillons, the present watch has an extra hinged platinum back cover which is set with an 18K white gold panel wonderfully chased with a scene of two speeding horses overlaid with translucent aquamarine coloured enamel.
While tourbillons have become something of standard complication, it is only those brands with true experience and know how in the realm of haute horologie that have mastered the fine engineering required to push this novel and lively escapement to new bounds. One such maison is Parmigiani Fleurier, whose experience gained from its founder Michael Parmigiani in the world of restoring of historically important automatons, singing bird boxes and other such complex creations, has allowed the brand to flourish in the production of grand complications. One of its exceptional innovations is that of the 30-second tourbillon. While the standard tourbillon has a one-minute revolution, due to the increased power requirements of faster rates of revolution, only a few brands have tried to perfect such a fast revolving tourbillon. For Parmigiani to be able to achieve this, in addition to a power reserve of 7-days, is truly miraculous and a stand-out technical achievement.
Parmigiani Fleurier began in 1996 and was founded by Michel Parmigiani in the town of Fleurier, Switzerland. Since 1996, Parmigiani has been making all in-house timepieces and is known for its high quality and uniqueness. Representing the versatility of the Parmigiani Fleurier manufacture, the present Kalpa 30-minute tourbillon is a superb example of their artistic and technical prowess.
