THE WATCH

The Kalparisma Nova Galaxy is an elegant and sleek timepiece with a unique aventurine dial and diamond frame.

Aventurine glass was invented by mistake in Murano (Venice), Italy, in the 19th century when an artisan glass blower accidentally let drop copper particles into the molten glass. The result was this fine material, whose name derives from the Italian expression “all’avventura” – i.e., “by accident.”

The Kalparisma family has a specific characteristic: the small seconds at 6 o’clock, with a star that spins around every minute. Both a decoration and a horological complication, the “Nova” star was like many details in PF watches, inspired by a pocket watch in Maurice-Yves Sandoz’ collection, which was restored at Parmigiani Fleurier’s atelier workshop.

ABOUT THIS BRAND

Founded only 25 years ago, Parmigiani Fleurier is a young and notably independent brand that draws its expertise from the art of restoration. This unique combination is at the heart of its timepieces, with a contemporary style for enthusiasts seeking to combine modernity and high technical competency. To adhere to its own principles and perfect each timepiece produced, the brand created its own watch collections where more than 30 in-house calibers have been developed. More recently, Parmigiani has found mainstream success through their Tonda GT, and Tonda PF collections which have become notable contenders in the independent sports watch segment.

The company embarks on a journey to become a true manufacture. In May of 1999, the Sandoz Family Foundation acquires Les Artisans Boîtiers, a workshop that melds precision manufacturing with manual craftsmanship to produce high-end watch cases.

Acquisition of Atokalpa and Elwin

Parmigiani Fleurier watchmaking center expands with the integration of Atokalpa, a manufacturer of trains, pinions, and microgears. By 2005, the company is able to industrially produce balance wheels and springs, pallet forks, and escapement wheels. Elwin, a leader in precision bar turning, joins the same year, supplying all the hardware for mechanical movements.

In January 2003, Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier is created to furnish high-end movements for Parmigiani Fleurier watches at the highest level of technicality and finishing. Its research and development department is tasked with producing a vast range of complicated calibers.
