PARMIGIANI FLEURIER the Confederação Brasileira de Futebol Collection


In 2011, Parmigiani Fleurier signed a unique partnership with the Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF), and became the official watchmaking partner of this legendary federation

In addition to a new, very rich avenue of communication with the passionate world of football, this also provides the opportunity for the Fleurier-based brand to put its creative and technical expertise to work to create a new line of products celebrating this partnership: the CBF Collection.

As you would expect from the independent Parmigiani Fleurier manufacture, illustrating a partnership through a collection of pieces goes beyond simply stamping a shield on the back of a watch. It takes painstaking research, both in terms of the concept and the graphics, for a timepiece to inhabit and reproduce the spirit of an association.

The new CBF Collection fully illustrates Parmigiani Fleurier’s creative potential and its unrelenting desire to support those who create legends.

 

The Pershing CBF Ladies’ and gents’


Sporty and modern, the Pershing Chronograph collection provides the perfect base for showing off the symbolic codes of the CBF

The men’s model features a titanium case and a choice of a white gold or rose gold bezel. The dial showcases the three colours of the CBF – gold, blue and green – each used in perfect harmony.

The intense blue provides the background colour, on top of the “Côtes de Genève” guilloche worked surface. Gold is used to highlight the two chronograph hands, usually so discreet.

Green is used for the greatest symbol of Brazil’s passion for football: the 5 victory stars to commemorate as many world cups won by the national team. These 5 stars, featured on all the players’ jerseys, replace the small seconds index at 3 o’clock on the Pershing.

Just like the CBF, which also administers the women’s football teams, this new Pershing CBF line also boasts a model for women. A titanium case is complemented by a magnificent jewel-set rose gold bezel, giving an elegant feminine touch which is so rare on a sports watch. The white mother of pearl dial is enhanced with rose gold numerals and indexes. The dark blue of the CBF is used to pick out the contour of the javelin-shaped hands, and the 5 green stars are also featured, marking the perimeter of the small seconds index.

THE Transforma CBF A multifaceted timepiece


The concept behind the Transforma, unveiled in 2011, is for a single watch head to be transformed into three diff erent configurations: the classic wristwatch; the elegant pocket watch, and finally the timeless table clock

This concept now forms the basis of the second line of products dedicated to the partnership with the CBF, but an even broader palette of transformations ensures this version really stands apart. This time, the Transforma CBF assembly is available with two watch heads instead of one. The first watch head is a chronograph, as with the original Transforma. This modern piece features a sporty carbon case and graphiteplated dial. The three emblematic colours of the CBF are discreetly featured here, on both the chronometer counter hands and the tachometer numerals. The national team’s five symbolic green victory stars decorate the dial surround.

The second watch head included is an Annual Calendar, using the movement from the Tonda Quator but featuring a new dial, custom designed to reflect the symbolism of the partnership.

The dial’s background boasts a wavelike barley grain finish, and takes its deep blue from the CBF’s pantone.

The five green stars are this time found on the lunar disc; they appear and disappear with the phases of the golden moon (in the CBF’s trademark yellow), like a deeply poetic celestial waltz.

The Transforma CBF is the perfect combination of a sports watch, ideal for the outdoors, and an elegant, classic timepiece. The Sport-chic concept is reinvented for the wristwatch, pocket watch or as a clock to suit your mood, but with the dedicated colours of a vibrant partnership which promises worlds of passion for years to come.

The Transforma CBF is delivered in a complete and inseparable set: - Two watc h heads: Chronograph and Annual Calendar - Three possible transformations: Wristwatch; Pocket Wat h; Table Clock
