“Day 2” of Watchbox’s SIHH 2018 coverage opened with an anniversary; 2018 marks twenty years since Michel Parmigiani’s first shaped caliber and shaped timepiece. For 2018, Parmigiani is celebrating the “Year of the Kalpa” with three new models. The headlining reference is the Kalpa Chronor, a fully-integrated caliber PF 365 chronograph in a refined version of the traditional Kalpa case. The Kalpa Chronor boasts an exclusive 18-karat rose gold automatic chronograph with column wheel architecture and no fewer than 50 interior angles finished by hand. The Parmigiani Kalpagraph offers a brass version of the PF365: the PF362. Otherwise, it shares its rose gold counterpart’s 36,000 VpH beat rate, integrated architecture, and chronometer rating. The new Kalpa Hebdomadaire keeps the original 1998 cal. PF110 alive with seven-day power reserve and no fewer than eight interior angles of its own.

Roger Dubuis continues the themes of 2017 with Pirelli Tire co-branding and a collaboration with Automobili Lamborghini that has led to a new model, the Excalibur Aventador S. The 45mm Aventador S Blue and its 28-piece counterpart, the Aventador S Pink Gold, boast and RD103SQ manufacture caliber with 60-hour power reserve, power reserve indicator mounted on the mainspring barrel, and twin balance wheels with a geared differential that cancels timing errors between them.

The Roger Dubuis-Pirelli Tire partnership continues with new color-themed models. “Medium White” is new for early spring 2018; blue will follow in late spring and early summer. The color codes correspond to the grades of Pirelli P-Zero tires used by Formula One drivers; The Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Pirelli will be issued as two flights of 88 pieces; one with “pristine white”, and one in “deep blue.”

Ressence, the Swiss-Belgian watch brand, unveiled its Ressence Type 2 E-Crown Concept. The 45mm titanium watch combines Ressence’s “Ressence Orbital Convex System” planetary time display with an electronic timing module that can correct timing error in the mechanical caliber. It can be controlled and programmed using the Ressence E-Crown App, and the system can be programmed to store two independent time zones. The E-Crown can recharge itself by auto-open solar panel covers and by a mechanical winding system. The E-Crown module also can store the time if the mechanical component of the watch stops, and it can reset the correct time as soon as the mechanical movement resumes.
