My curiousness and interest peak when a brand produces something outside the limits of its comfort: no restraints, no boundaries, a newly reimagined watch that makes you scratch your head and wonder. The design language that Parmigiani Fleurier has made consistent through the years could not be more removed from the avant-garde, techno-modern Kalpagraph Chronomètre, and that's precisely why it is so alluring. This watch could easily wear a moniker like MB&F or Richard Mille and pass without a second thought.

Housed in the Kalpagraph Chronomètre is the PF362, an offshoot of the flagship caliber PF361 (that movement is only made in solid gold). Thanks to the groundwork laid by the 361, this 362 enjoys a fully integrated column wheel chronograph complication and a high beat frequency of 5hz or 36,000vph.

This watch will maintain its one-off status as a piece that imagines a wholly different Parmigiani Fleurier brand from the one we have today.

After considering all of the facts, it appears this watch hails from an alternate reality version of Parmigiani Fleurier, where it became a cyberpunk futurist watch company.

The Parmigiani Fleurier brand - a watch-making adventure that transcends the mundane - was created in Fleurier in 1996 and was guided by the passion of a man who remained faithful to the very essence of the watchmaker. Michel Parmigiani, master horologist, renowned restorer, and talented creator of mechanical time-keepers, dedicates his knowledge, which has been enriched by past and present teachings, to the benefit of the brand.

The Sandoz Family Foundation, who had tasked a young Michel Parmigiani to lead the restoration of their horological artifact collection, became interested in bringing Parmigiani's masterful work to the consumer market. In 1996, with the backing of the Sandoz Foundation, Parmigiani Fleurier was able to fit out its manufacturing workshops with the means to produce exceptionally high-quality goods. In less than 10 years, it achieved near complete vertical integration, and the industrial equipment deployed constitutes one of the rarest and most complete manufacturing workshops in Switzerland. The very essence of haute horology, such as attention to detail or the beauty of the embellishment of a simple or highly complicated movement, is the subject of great attention at Parmigiani Fleurier and is the reason for its international recognition.
