Swiss watchmaker Parmigiani leaves no room for filler – since its inception in 1996, every one of its watches is made as a showpiece, painstakingly perfected in its workshops, and the Kalpa Grande is no exception. With art deco styling and distinctive, sculpted lugs, it balances dress-watch sobriety with a welcome dose of avant garde flair.
Made in polished stainless steel and with a strap in understated fine black leather, the Kalpa Grande carries on the tonneau shape, tourbillon and minute repeater that characterises the Kalpa collection, and that's not all – turn the watch over and you'll find a sapphire case-back revealing its inner workings. An instant classic. £7,500.
Parmigiani is the official watchmaker of the Brazilian Football Federation, and to celebrate, it's offering customers who purchase a Parmigiani timepiece at The Watch Gallery before 31 May the chance to win a week-long, all-expenses paid trip for two to the World Cup in Brazil from 16 June. The trip includes flights, five-star accommodation, full hospitality and tickets for the Brazil v. Mexico and England v. Uruguay games.
