Parmigiani Fleurier Kalpa Piccola Quartz Watch
Founded in 1966 by Michael Parmigiani in Fleurier, Switzerland, the luxury Swiss watchmaking brand Parmigiani Fleurier has grown to be recognized worldwide. Since one of their first official timepieces, the Kalpa Hebdomadaire, Parmigiani Fleurier has been showing the world their watches are unorthodox.
However, it wasn’t until 2006 that Parmigiani released their first timepiece designed specifically for their female audience. The Parmigiani Fleurier Kalpa Piccola and Kalpa Donna collections, while elegant and radiantly feminine, carry vast similarities to the original Kalpa Hebdomadaire.
Like the Hebdomadaire, the Kalpa Piccola and Kapla Donna collections have a unique case shape that crosses between a rectangle and a ‘tonneau’. The difference between Piccola and Donna is their case sizes. The Kalpa Piccola comes in 23mm x 35mm while the Kalpa Donna is slightly bigger measuring 29mm x 39mm.
The feminine line of Parmigiani’s Kalpa collection features Guilloche dials in an assortment of vibrant colors. Consumers have the option of choosing whether they’d prefer the watch plain, with diamonds along the lugs and bezel, or diamonds all around the watch including the bracelet. The markers 12 and 6 also feature Wessleton diamonds set in Pave fashion to compliment the beautifully iridescent guilloche dial. Regardless of one’s style, the Parmigiani Kalpa Collection has a model to meet the likes of almost any watch enthusiast out there.

Gray & Sons - Top Watch Repair Service Center For High Caliber Watches
This watch came to Gray and Sons from a client who stated their Parmigiani Fleurier Kalpa Piccola was losing time on her wrist. Although the watch looked fine on the outside, factories recommend one to service automatic watches every 3-5 years to upkeep the quality of the watch’s timekeeping. This watch also had some surface scratches around the case that needed to be buffed out. Every watch that comes into Gray and Sons Jewelers for repair will automatically receive a 12-month warranty once received by the customer post-repair.
First things first, we open the case back of the watch and look for any rusted or damaged parts that need sourcing. In this case, the movement was in good condition, the movement just needed some maintenance. Once we’ve diagnosed the problem on the watch and know what extra watch parts are needed, our watchmaker takes apart the watch piece by piece and prepares it for overhauling.

The watch movement, crystal , and watch stem are separated from the head and bracelet . The case and bracelet are given to our head polisher while our watchmakers begin working on the movement. Piece by piece, our watchmaker begins dismantling the watch’s mechanism and evaluating every piece.
Once the watch parts that need sourcing are identified, our watchmaker prepares the timepiece’s screws, springs, pivots, and plates to be cleaned and sources the parts that are needed. We use six different cleaning solutions in an ultrasonic machine to make sure all dirt, dust, and dried oils are extracted from every crevice within the watch parts.
Once the watch parts are cleaned, the watchmaker starts to reassemble the movement while adding lubricants wherever designated and replacing all the gaskets for water resistance.
This tedious process usually takes anywhere from two to five hours per watch! Of course, assuming the watchmaker isn’t interrupted and all parts continue functioning.
While Gray and Sons’ watchmaker worked on the movement, we had our polisher give this watch a light polish around the case to remove the minor scratches. He then put the case in our ultrasonic machine for a bath and finally to rinse and dry.
Once our watchmaker puts together the movement and re-cases the watch, it's time for the final steps of our repair process. Prior to returning the client their watch, we must execute a final quality control process to ensure the watch is running as accurately as possible.
In this quality control, we measure the watch’s amplitude using special machines that listen to the heartbeat of the watch. We also test the watch’s water resistance with a machine that simulates a deep plunge using air pressure to check for leaks.
Additionally, we check that all complications are functioning fully; in this case the hour and minute hands. If both timekeeping and water tests pass, the watch gets put on our winding wheel for observation where it rotates and mimics the movement of the wrist for 6-8 hours.
The watch must then rest and run for the next 20-30 hours.
With this machine, we can analyze the durability of the watch and make sure the movement is functioning and not startled by any natural jagged movements of the wrist. Our complete restoration process can take up to 8 weeks.
