Throughout history, man has sought to control time, to predict and chart its flow, in order to better organize the rhythm of social, religious and agricultural life.
The calendar, which is universal, allows us to identify dates that are inscribed like milestones in the flow of time.
We have long been fascinated by this cultural phenomenon and present the Tonda PF Xiali Calendar, an extremely complex creation, that follows up the Gregorian and Muslim Calendars, developed by our Maison.
The calendar functions are among the most fascinating, mirroring civilizations and societies, receptacles of belief, and indefinable phenomena such as the movement of shadows, alternation of seasons, and the mysteries of the lunar cycle. Together, such phenomena play a vital role in human activity.
