In keeping with tradition, Parmigiani Fleurier unveils an extraordinary horological creation on December 2nd, Michel Parmigiani's birthday. This year, they present the Armoriale Répétition Mystérieuse, a ground-breaking masterpiece that merges artistic beauty with exceptional acoustic engineering, defying conventional norms.
The Armoriale Répétition Mystérieuse features a meticulously crafted42mm white gold case designed exclusively for this unique model. It celebrates the aesthetic principles cherished by Michel Parmigiani, with design elements inspired by Doric columns and the Golden Ratio. The Armoriale Répétition Mystérieuse does not reveal its secrets at a glance. Unlike a traditional watch, the Armoriale conceals the time on its reverse side, dedicating its front surface entirely to artistic craftsmanship. The pastel green translucent enamel grand feu displays a finely guilloché pattern, further enhanced by delicate engravings of a pinecone, a symbol of inspiration for Michel Parmigiani and a metaphor for infinity. Upon turning the watch, the wearer discovers the rose gold hour and minute hands discreetly placed on the back of the case. This back dial, adorned with a disk of Guatemalan white jade and featuring circular indices, harmonizes with the jade’s natural elegance. The "secret" dial bestows an introspective and personal character to the watch, making checking the time an intimate and privileged experience
