SIHH 2018: The Parmigiani Fleurier Kalpa Chronor goes for gold

golden glory

Using Fibonacci codes to create the snazzy 2018 Kalpa collection, Parmigiani Fleurier continues an horological adventure which began 20 years ago, when Michel Parmigiani created a tonneau-shaped movement. In the 18k rose gold Kalpa Chronor (CHF85,000/350,000) the ergonomics of chronograph activation is brought to life through the world’s first solid-gold, self-winding integrated movement. Its COSC-certified calibre PF365 had required six years to develop, boasting an oscillation rate of 5Hz for an accuracy in the reading of one tenth of a second. A closer inspection will reveal the master restorer’s detailed execution, with 54 internal angles and a hand-guilloche “Tresse” dial.
