The design inspiration behind Parmigiani Fleurier’s Techica Palme Complicated Watch comes from the palm tree, symbolizing life. Even in dry, hot climates, the palm tree continues to absorb moisture, providing fruit and shade for people. For the enameller, this concept became the theme for the patterns and colors used on the watch: the dial, case, and clasp are all covered in palm leaf motifs, created using gold engraving and blue-green enamel.
The 18k white gold case, measuring nearly 47mm in diameter, is a standard size for complicated watches. At 12 o’clock, there is a moonphase disc, while the 3 o’clock position features a 30-minute chronograph and day of the week disc, and the 9 o’clock position holds the month disc. By opening the white gold enamel case back, one can admire the movement at work.
Art Deco is the style Parmigiani Fleurier most wanted to showcase in this unique timepiece, and we see this through the use of a white gold and palladium enamel-coated alloy plate. The dial is enhanced with multi-layer enamel coloring, and even the hour and minute hands feature a skeleton design filled with semi-transparent enamel—something not often seen, even among enamel-focused watchmakers.
Complicated functions are still one of Parmigiani Fleurier’s strengths. The manual-winding movement integrates four major complications: a tourbillon, chronograph, perpetual calendar, and cathedral gong minute repeater. Notably, the minute repeater is wound by rotating the fluted ring beneath the bezel (a quarter turn clockwise), a winding method that presents a greater challenge to the watch’s water resistance, but also adds a touch of elegance to the timepiece.
