Parmigiani: In the Vanguard by Restoring the Old and Handcrafting the New

Michel Parmigiani is acclaimed as one of the doyens of the art and science of watch making. He was born in Couvet Switzerland in 1950 and from early days he was captivated by the fascinating world of horology. After a short stint as a restorer of great watches in museums and with collectors he launched his company in 1987 and in a short time Parigiani watches came to be perceived as the ultimate achievement in style and perfection. The company’s two activities are epitomized in the phrase used by Parmigiani Fleurier: restoring collectors’ timepieces. Handcrafting new ones.

When the quartz technology employed by the Japanese watch makers gave a heavy jolt to the Swiss dominance in Horology many Swiss company yielded to the temptation of going for the quartz. Parmigiani resisted this easy choice and stuck to the traditional handcrafting of watches. In his restoration efforts where he was a genius he had seen the quintessence of the ultimate technical expertise of the master horologists of the past and as Parmigaini put it: made me humble in the face of these exceptional creations. Are we not humbled by the Pyramids, Taj Mahal, Pieta and the Great Wall?
