Parmigiani Fleurier – Senfine Concept Movement

Imagine a power reserve that never ran out; a mechanical watch that ran forever. Imagine a timepiece that needed winding a few times a year, rather than several times a week; whose autonomy was calculated in months rather than hours. And finally, imagine a revolution that shattered watchmaking taboos and permanently changed an order of magnitude that seemed inviolable. You should now have a hint of Parmigiani Fleurier’s latest project, launched on the eve of its 20-year anniversary and SIHH 2016 – the SENFINE. With a name meaning “eternally” in Esperanto, this movement is powered by a conventional energy source but has a regulating organ that offers unprecedented autonomy. The project is still in the development stage, and Parmigiani Fleurier has now opened up its research department to reveal the extraordinary story of the Senfine and the steps leading towards the launch of a revolution.
