Parmigiani Kalpa XL and Grande Watches For The Montreaux Jazz Festival
by Ariel Adams
Each year there is a special music festival in Switzerland known as the Montreaux Jazz Festival . While the music is mostly jazz, it is brimming with contemporary artists in what is most always an impressive event - we just don't ever get to hear about it in the US. Watch company Parmigiani Fleurier is one of the sponsors and also creates limited edition timepieces for the festival - that this year took place in July. The festival has literally hundreds of artists that perform most of them being free to watch - while tickets are required for the bigger names. This year top performers where lucky to received one of these Parmigiani limited edition watches based on the Kalpa XL or Kalpa Grande watches. Notable recipients were such names as Alice Cooper, the Black Eyed Peas, Wyclef Jean, and B.B. King. Two versions of the limited edition watch are available - for either men or women. The dial has been modeled after the event poster with the whimsical winding piano keys. In blue with a watching blue alligator strap is the men's model in the Kalpa XL, while a pink dialed model with a while python strap for the ladies comes in the Kalpa Grande watch case. Both versions come with a steel case and automatic Swiss movements. A nice collector's item for the musically inclined or jazz music enthusiast.

The ever so handsome Parmigiani Mens Kalpa XL Hebdomadaire watch is for the watch enthusiast who sees watch collecting not as a luxury but as an investment. It has a slender stainless steel case that is only 37mm wide and 11.2mm thick as well as a stainless steel bezel, champagne-colored dial and a manual movement with sapphire crystal. Even though it doesn’t have an automatic movement it does have a whopping 192-hour power reserve. Functions for the hour, minutes, power reserve, date and seconds are all included and the easy-to-read face is complimented by silver toned Arabic numerals, index and steeled blue hand indicators. What a beauty. $14,360 .

$18,200 for a watch may seem too much, but once you’ve seen this one, you’ll be convinced that some watches are worth the cost.
Aside from its classy design (champagne-colored display with navy blue hand indicators, plus silver numerals) that’ll look good in any kind of ensemble, it’s made from high-class materials, too. Its case is made from stainless steel case, which measures 37mm wide and 11.2mm thick, and the bezel is made from the same material. A sapphire crystal glass protects its display, which shows the hour, minutes, power reserve, date, and seconds. It’s also water-resistant up to 150 feet.
Grübelin und von Parmigiani Fleurier, die speziell für dieses Event ein White Turf Ziffernblatt für die klassische Uhr aus der Kalpa Kollektion entwarf.
