Parmigiani Fleurier has chosen to highlight the Chinese astronomical intelligence on the Tonda PF Xiali Calendar.
In this spectacular timepiece, Parmigiani Fleurier combines both a solar and a lunar calendar — and for the very first time in watchmaking, both calendars are exhibited on a single dial.
With all the poetry and culture it represents, 'Xiali' takes its name from the translation of "Chinese Traditional Complete Calendar."
Built around Parmigiani Fleurier's critically-acclaimed Tonda PF platform, this new Xiali reference debuts a World Premiere complication of Parmigiani's own creation: a compete calendar which adheres to the traditional Chinese calendar. Its unique complexity is due to the combination of both a solar and a lunar calendar, which are calculated separately and then synchronized.
