Parmigiani Kalpa XL Tourbillon Meteorite – Unique Luxury Tourbillon
At this year’s SIHH, Parmigiani presented exclusive watches to VIPs, including the extraordinary Kalpa XL Tourbillon Meteorite. Limited to a single piece, this timepiece features a stunning meteorite dial—a gray metallic slice with textures naturally formed in the universe, creating a celestial aesthetic.
Design and Dial
The Kalpa XL Tourbillon Meteorite integrates a 30-second tourbillon at 6 o’clock with a silicon escapement. Unlike traditional three-hand tourbillon layouts, the seconds hand remains centered, ensuring both elegance and precise timekeeping. Diamond-set platinum case and lugs accentuate the meteorite dial, highlighting Parmigiani’s haute horlogerie craftsmanship.
Movement and Performance
Powering the watch is Parmigiani’s FP 500 manual movement, delivering a 7-day power reserve. Operating at 21,600 vph with 28 jewels, the movement offers both reliability and visual appeal through its sapphire crystal back. The watch is paired with an alligator leather strap and is water-resistant to 30 meters.
