The History of
... Parmigiani.... Though it has been a mere thirty years since
Michel Parmigiani commenced his career in watch making, he has
quickly made a name for himself as a leading avant-garde Swiss watch
making brand. He began restoring timepieces during his youth, thus

1996, Parmigiani Fleurier launched his first collection and in 12
short years has gained worldwide renown for his unique, beautiful
and complex timepieces. Parmigiani Fleurier Timepieces have an
outstanding level of finish that is virtually unparalleled. Even
though it may never be visible, each component is chamfered,
polished, and sometimes hand-engraved. The craftsmen watchmakers of
the manufacture devote hundreds of hours to this work with the aim
of enhancing the artistic quality of the products. Their
concentration and sense of perfection enable them to create pieces
that are unique both aesthetically and technically...

...“In Greek mythology, Selene (/sɪˈliːniː/; Greek: Σελήνη, meaning "Moon") is the goddess
of the Moon. She is the daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia, and
sister of the sun god Helios and the dawn goddess Eos. She drives her
moon chariot across the heavens”…

...The Tonda Métropolitaine Sélène is impressive in terms of its
technical features and accuracy, but also possesses a unique artisanal
beauty, resulting from the continuous decorative care responsible for
its preciousness. These operations are carried out by hand, never
substituted, giving it a perceptible and unique value..
“In
abyss blue, is adorned with a central lotus flower – a symbol of
femininity. This decoration is cut from mother of pearl and applied to
the dial, from which it stands out 0.2 mm. The satin and polished
finishes of the lace design create a play of light that beautifully
showcases the quality of the workmanship”...

...“The lotus flower adorning the centre of the dial emphasises the
inherent femininity of the complication. This flower, which blooms at
night, just as the moon appears, also symbolises the female gait. It is
created using mother-of-pearl lace designs measuring barely 0.2 mm
thick, applied in two layers. The first underlying sheet is varnished
then satin-finished, providing a contrast with the upper polished
layer. The alternating satin-finished and polished surfaces produce a
captivating reflection, which is further enhanced by the inherent depth
effects of the two mother-of-pearl layers”...
