Showcase Classic

Parmigiani
Kalparisma

The creation of the Kalparisma collection is a return to the essence of the form, redesigned to house the firm’s automatic movement (Calibre pF 331) in a compact
size. Its lugs, its tonneau shape and arched profile are the signature of Parmigiani, which the Kalparisma has adopted, while symbolising the two essential areas of the brand: watchmaking mechanics and refined aesthetics of the lines.

The Kalparisma collection, made only from 18 carat rose gold, with or without diamonds, offers elegance and sobriety. The smaller dial numerals have been redesigned to give a new balance; black or white, sunray guilloche worked and then lacquered, its face also elegantly matches the leather strap: Hermes Swift calfskin for white or Hermes lizard skin for black. There is also a red Hermes lizard skin version for those opting for greater originality.

Its automatic movement offers two variants: A Kalparisma collection with large window aperture date display, or a Kalparisma collection with a small seconds
hand in place of the date. As a highly feminine detail, there is a 5-branch star marking the rhythm of the seconds animating its face, giving it a unique touch.

Cartier
Baignoire

The Baignoire is a legendary Cartier timepiece for ladies, whose timeless femininity has been renewed by an injection of
character and energy. Showcasing exquisite lightness, this new version shines with excellence and balance to glorify the Cartier legacy through innovations in style: the gleaming faceted surfaces and precious curve of the original Baignoire’s domed case have been replaced by finely sculpted glass. It’s a watch that embodies the contemporary urban woman by linking
supreme gentleness and extreme rigour. An elegant feminine dream, it revisits the brand’s major aesthetic codes: the straightness of Roman numerals, long flowing lines and a dotted ‘rail-track’ detail on the dial.

The spirit of the Baignoire collection is, above all else, an unequivocal name that evokes a simply flawless design with a
charming and original oval shape created in 1912. In 1956, the curved oval braceletwatch, which still did not have a name, had already become a Cartier classic just like the Tank and Santos models. Further developed in 1968 in an extended or oversized version, it inspired numerous creative variations. It was only later on, in 1973, that the model was officially baptised ‘Baignoire’. A past worthy of an heiress, its timeless allure is being revisited
even today.
