Parmigiani Fleurier Ionica Hebdomadaire 8 Days in White Gold

Parmigiani Fleurier is an independent watch brand renowned among horology enthusiasts for its reputation as a “challenger” in this highly competitive industry of mechanical watchmaking. Before founding the brand in 1996, Michel Parmigiani operated a watch restoration workshop in Switzerland, where many exceptional artisans were trained. Parmigiani Fleurier: Ionica Hebdomadaire 8 Days White Gold Today, Parmigiani Fleurier is one of the most vertically integrated watch manufacturers, playing a crucial role in the Swiss watch supply chain. In addition to producing components, the brand continues to restore historical timepieces. The timepiece introduced this time is the Ionica Hebdomadaire 8 Days, Parmigiani Fleurier’s first watch with a tonneau case. It debuted in 1999, even before the Kalpa (2001), drawing inspiration from Greek Doric column architecture and Art Deco aesthetics. Powering the watch is the hand-wound Cal. PF110 movement, featuring an 8-day power reserve and exquisitely finished with Côtes de Genève and anglage decorations. This was also the first movement developed in-house by Parmigiani, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s history. The Ionica Hebdomadaire is the clearest embodiment of Michel Parmigiani’s watchmaking philosophy. It is not a watch for the masses but is instead designed for collectors and high-end watch enthusiasts who seek uniqueness and true artistic value.
