TIME AND THE WISDOM OF CIVILIZATIONS

The TONDA PF Xiali Chinese Calendar is a masterpiece of horology and cultural preservation. As the world’s only mechanical watch to fully display the Chinese calendar, it harmoniously integrates the 24 solar terms (Jieqi), lunar phases, zodiac animals, the 10 heavenly stems, and the 12 earthly branches. Through unparalleled craftsmanship, Parmigiani Fleurier transforms this ancient system into a timeless creation—celebrating the artistry of time and humanity’s enduring connection to the cosmos.

A CANVAS OF ART AND LIGHT

The dial of the TONDA PF Xiali is a symphony of texture and colour. The Grain d’Orge hand-guilloché pattern enhances the play of light, creating a surface that comes alive with every movement. The Imperial Red hue, symbolizing power and cultural richness, evolves under changing light, shifting from deep and intense to radiant and vibrant.

This interplay of craftsmanship and nuance transforms the TONDA PF Xiali into a poetic celebration of time, embodying Parmigiani Fleurier’s dedication to beauty and meaning in horology.

THE IMPERIAL GRACE OF ROSE GOLD

Paired with the warm luster of 18-carat rose gold, this timepiece elevates design to an imperial level of elegance. Rose gold—symbol of nobility and eternity—imbues this creation with a regal essence. Its opulent glow reflects the grandeur of Chinese dynasties, where gold signified immortality, power, and the harmony between heaven and earth.

This exquisite fusion of materials and symbolism transforms the watch into a timeless tribute. It honours Chinese tradition while embodying the elegance that defines Parmigiani Fleurier.

WORDS OF EXPERTISE

CULTURAL ODES TO GREAT CIVILISATIONS

We view calendars not only as instruments of measurement but as true mirrors of the civilizations that conceived them. This recognition of calendars as expressions of cultural diversity guides our design process, encouraging us to integrate the specificities of each society into our timepieces.

Our TONDA PF collection showcases three masterpieces dedicated to this theme: The Islamic Hijri calendar, the complete Chinese calendar Xiali and the Gregorian calendar.
