Notes

Parmigiani Fleurier Is 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 time at Antiquorum, then still called the "Galerie d?Horlogerie Ancienne". Today, he has gathered together in the Parmigiani workshops many of the best craftsmen in the world of horology, uniting the skills of the goldsmith and the watchmaker. Their dexterity, finesse and artistry combine to enhance the firm?s reputation. Everything that leaves the Parmigiani workshops meets stringent demands at every stage of production. Parmigiani Fleurier possesses technical workshops devoted to the restoration of antique clocks and watches, the manufacturing of Haute Horlogerie timepieces, and the Parmigiani Fleurier Collection as well as a highly qualified After Sales Service.
