Notes

Parmigiani Fleurier Is situated in Fleurier in the Neuchâtel region of the Swiss Jura mountains; 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, at this time still called the "Galerie d?Horlogerie Ancienne". Today, in the Parmigiani workshops, he has gathered many of the best craftsmen in the world of horology, bringing together the skills of the goldsmith and the watchmaker. Their dexterity, finesse and artistry combine to enhance the firm?s reputation as a center of many fine talents. Nothing leaves the Parmigiani workshops unless it meets stringent demands for perfection at every stage of its production. Parmigiani Fleurier possesses several technical worskshops: the restoration of antique clocks and watches, the manufacturing of Haute Horlogerie timepieces, the Parmigiani Fleurier Collection and a highly qualified After Sales Service.
