Back from the spa at long last and ready for summer action.
One of my very favorite Parmigianis, this semi-skeletonized, matte-finished titanium Kalpagraphe Chronometre. This watch is waaaay under the radar and under-appreciated.
I unreservedly love the fit, feel and finish of this watch. It will be glued to my wrist for most of the summer.
A limited edition of 28 with blue subdials, this chronograph has the excellent and underrated PF362 movement with black coated platinum rotor, 36,000 vph, and 65 hour power reserve. The chronograph pushers are exceptionally crisp and precise.
The rubber strap is wonderfully supple and the single-fold clasp even has a micro-adjustment feature for intra-day strap length changes.
Hope you all enjoy the photos. I'm elated to have this one back on the wrist.

Such a unique and cool design!
It's idiosyncratic, even by Parmigiani standards! Thanks for the excellent pictures, cheers, Filip
Well said Filip.
I bought it sight unseen last year, taking a chance it would fit and feel ok. All, I can say is it is better than ok. It's a joy to wear. Thanks for commenting. M4
The chronograph minute hand would not engage.
I sent it in to the AD for warranty repair and it ended up back in Switzerland. It's been out of my hands for close to six months but now back in time for summer activities, which is when it really shines. It is essentially new as I've had it less than a ...
That really is a stunning looking watch.
It is very different from the usual Parmigiani watches I have seen and is really quite unique, I also like that although it is semi skeletonised you can still easily read all of the functions you need to. Glad to hear you now have this beauty back in time...
Can’t say I’ve seen PF with that finish
Super cool Kind of looks like that ceramised titanium like chopard
It’s a super cool finish in the metal . . .
. . . and unique in the Parmigiani world. Thanks TCF!
The rotor seems to be Pt 950, not gold!
A very unique design, which looks very good, whether on your wrist or on static shots. I can imagine your pleasure to have it back and wish you a lot of pleasure with it! Best, Emmanuel PF: your PF collection is truly remarkable.
Whoa, good catch on the platinum rotor, Emmanuel
Thanks for the kind words on the collection. It’s been a fun couple years getting to where I am now.
On the Kalpagraphe rotor, I had seen this photo from A Blog To Watch . . .
One of my guys at PF told me they had mistakenly made four pieces with gold rotor. I assumed that meant four gold rotors that weren't coated in black. But as you spotted the blackened rotors are in platinum. Anyway, that's the Paul Harvey "rest of the sto...
These 4 “mistake gold rotor” pieces
might become sought after because of their rarity, but I doubt it because the blackened Pt rotor suits the aesthetic and identity of the watch much better!
Very sport Parmigiani
Certainly comfortable on the wrist and quite attractive. I can see you alternating between it and the UN Regatta while at the lake.
