In 2008, Parmigiani Fleurier launched the first ladies’ mechanical watch series-Kalparisma watch series. In 2018, Parmigiani Fleurier launched a limited edition Kalparisma Nova Galaxy ladies replica watches at the Geneva Haute Horlogerie Exhibition to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the series.
Like many outstanding inventions, aventurine was discovered by coincidence. In the 19th century, a glassmaker accidentally splashed copper shavings into molten glass in the city of Murano, Italy. The effect of the glass mixed with metal shavings was very shining. Aventurine glass came into being, and it was named after the Italian “a l’avventura” , Which means “accidental”, to commemorate its birth by accident.
Parmigiani Fleurier used sandstone material in many replica watches, and incorporated “GALAXY” into the name, marking the special material of the work. The dial of Kalparisma Nova Galaxy looks like a starry sky, as if telling the passage of time. The triangular hands are cleverly designed to avoid obstruction on the dial with a hollow design, fully revealing the details of the aventurine material on the dial, enhancing the aesthetic design of the watch.
One of the main highlights of the Kalparisma Nova series is the design of the “starfish”-shaped small seconds at 6 o’clock, which rotates once per minute. The inspiration comes from an antique minute repeater pocket watch that Parmigiani Fleurier has restored. Restoration has always been the soul of Parmigiani Fleurier, giving inspiration to the brand’s current works. The design on the back of the pocket fake watches is a group of 1 big star surrounded by 12 small stars. After the minute repeater function is activated, all the stars will start to rotate. Michel Parmigiani was attracted by the mechanical design, and the star design finally found its place on the Kalparisma Nova women’s dial and integrated it into the design. In astronomy, “Nova” refers to the shining stars, which precisely describes Kalparisma Nova Galaxy.
Kalparisma Nova Galaxy has 2 different materials with different diamond inlays. Rose gold version with rose gold hour markers and Nova star design. The side of the case is inlaid with 46 top Wesselton diamonds, with a total weight of about 0.84 carats, exuding a dazzling light, limited to 50 pieces. The platinum model is limited to 28 pieces, with dazzling “snowflake” diamonds. The entire case is inlaid with carefully designed diamonds, the size is carefully selected by top masons, 182 diamonds, weighing about 2.28 carats, looks like sparkling white snowflakes all over the case.
PF332 is Parmigiani Fleurier’s first self-winding mechanical movement. It has been used in the Kalparisma series, the first mechanical watch series designed for women by Parmigiani Fleurier in 2008.
Its special feature lies in its series of double barrels. This design helps to maintain the stability of energy distribution and ensure that the energy is transmitted to the regulator at a constant level to ensure the power of the replica watches. The movement has undergone strict finishing treatments, and the bridges have also been sandblasted, decorated with special patterns or Côtes de Genève, and have been manually chamfered and finally plated with rhodium. 22K gold automatic rotor with machine-engraved barley grain pattern. In all 220 parts, no matter how tiny or inconspicuous, each part deserves the most exquisite modification. It is this special attention to detail that makes the Kalparisma series so precious.
