"Parmigiani Fleurier" Is situated in Fleurier in the Neuchâtel region of the Swiss Jura Mountains. It is there that the master watchmaker Michel Parmigiani has celebrated the art of time for over two decades. After receiving his diploma at the Ecole d?Horlogerie, he worked for a period at Antiquorum, then called the "Galerie d?Horlogerie Ancienne". In the Parmigiani workshop, he has gathered many of the best craftsmen in the world of horology, who bring together the skills of the goldsmith and the watchmaker. Their dexterity, finesse and artistry combine to enhance the firm?s reputation as a concentration of many fine talents. Nothing leaves the Parmigiani workshops unless it meets stringent demands for perfection at every stage of its production. The Parmigiani Fleurier Company, established in 1996 with the backing of the Sandoz Family Foundation, possesses several technical worskshops: the restoration of antique clocks and watches, the manufacturing of Haute Horlogerie timepieces as well as the Parmigiani Fleurier Collection and a highly qualified After Sales Service. Another branch is Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, a company now specializing in the high quality production of new escapements, balances and balance-springs for the Parmigiani brand and for a few other selected high-end watch companies.
