Parmigiani Fleurier introduces a new Tonda PF Hijri Perpetual Calendar

In 2011, Michel Parmigiani embarked on a journey to honor the Islamic Hijri calendar's rich heritage. Inspired by the restoration of a pocket watch featuring an Arabic calendar, Parmigiani crafted the Hijri Calendar Table Clock. This feat was later miniaturized into the Hijri Perpetual Calendar wristwatch, earning the prestigious 2020 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) Innovation Prize. Now, Parmigiani Fleurier introduces the new Tonda PF Hijri Perpetual Calendar in stainless steel, boasting a vibrant Viridian green dial.

Navigating Time Through Islamic Heritage

The Tonda PF Hijri Perpetual Calendar pays homage to the Tabular Islamic calendar developed by 8th-century Muslim scholars and astronomers. Rooted in lunar cycles, this calendar system facilitates the conversion of Islamic dates to the Gregorian calendar, showcasing the complexity of Islamic timekeeping traditions.

A Symphony of Steel and Green

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Tonda PF Hijri Perpetual Calendar features a stainless-steel case with a platinum fluted bezel. Its Viridian green dial, adorned with Grain d’Orge guilloche, exudes elegance and sophistication. The watch is powered by the Caliber PF009 automatic movement, boasting impeccable craftsmanship and a power reserve of 48 hours.

A Timepiece of Cultural Significance

At the heart of the Tonda PF Hijri Perpetual Calendar lies a profound respect for cultural diversity and historical legacy. Parmigiani Fleurier's dedication to calendar complications transcends mere timekeeping, embodying a vision that celebrates the multifaceted nature of time across civilizations and epochs.

As Parmigiani Fleurier continues to innovate and pay homage to cultural heritage, the Tonda PF Hijri Perpetual Calendar stands as a testament to the brand's commitment to preserving tradition while embracing the future of horology.
