Parmigiani Fleurier

 

Parmigiani Fleurier is one of the respected names in haute horlogerie with some very distinctive watches.
Until recently they have not made all that many watches so they are not as well known as the bigger producers.
In the industry Michel Parmigiani's shop is very well known, because many of todays active watchmakers worked there at one time or another and learned much from him.

Parmigiani is one of the instigators in the Fondation Qualité Fleurier which is propagating their own mark of quality with Geneva Seal type elements and COSC type elements, but for complete and finished watches.  www.fleurier-quality.com

I like Parmigaini's watches, I find them very distinctive with a strong personality, but refined.  Only MHO, of course,

Who can give some info on the ownership experience?

Don

Between us, my wife and I own three Parmigianis: a Kalpa Grande, the new Kalpagraph, and a Kalpa Piccola Joallerie (the original with the Piguet-derived automatic movement, PT rotor, etc.). The Piccola is my wife's favorite watch, bar none -- and I really...

Considering the Palladium limited as well as the QF series. Having not seen in person, but hoping to in the next few weeks, seems to be all I am looking for. I see one in my future. (Maybe for my wife as well)

For your wife...

The new Kalpa Donna or Piccola with the red lacquered face must be seen to be believed. Downside is that it's a quartz movement (manufactured by Patek), but it's a lovely slender piece -- beats the PP twenty-four hands-down, IMHO. I was fortunate to get o...
