Parmigiani Fleurier: Two new vintage-inspired models

New-York-based Russian-art gallery, La Vieille Russie, and Parmigiani are currently holding a special exhibition called “Mechanical Wonders,” aimed at collectors and connoisseurs of watches. The exibition offers a unique opportunity for visitors to see some of the mechanical marvels of the past, works of Fabergé, as well as contemporary pieces by Parmigiani Fleurier. The exhibition will run from October 26th – November 26th, showcasing many of the items that are on a regular display at Musée d’Horlogerie in Le Locle, Switzerland. To honor the occasion, Parmigiani launches two new watches inspired by the vintage pieces that are currently on view in New York City.



The first watch, Parmigiani 114, is offered in a limited edition of 30 exemplars in pink gold and 30 in white gold. This oval wristwatch is inspired by a pocket watch from the early 19th century. It features a power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock, a date indication at 6 o’clock, and a pair of interesting telescopic hands. This piece retails at $95,000.



The other one is offered in strictly limited edition of only four pieces. The watch is inspired by a minute repeater pocket watch made between 1800 and 1840. This piece is also a minute repeater with a serpentine cathedral chime, equipped with an unusual time-telling mechanism. The watch indicates time by an arched construction on the upper half of the dial. The arc features a 60-minute track and a single hour-numeral moving along the scale. This model is priced at $668,000.

Parmigiani Fleurier SA is a Swiss brand of luxury watchmakers founded in 1976 in Fleurier, Switzerland by Michel Parmigiani. Here is a short presentation film about this brand.
