La Ravenale Minute Repeater
In honor of Michel Parmigiani's 75th birthday, Parmgiani Fleurier introduces today its latest creation in the Objects d'Art Collection, La Ravenale Minute Repeater.
According to the press release . . .
"This unique Lépine pocket watch unites a restored 1920s Ed. Koehn minute repeater calibre, hand-engraved 18-carat white-gold case and dial, and an unprecedented opal-and-jade marquetry caseback, completed by a fully handmade chain crafted by Switzerland’s last master chain-maker. La Ravenale represents the convergence of restoration, natural geometry, and métiers d’art, a tribute to the harmony and proportion at the heart of our Maison."
Photos of this work of art speak for themselves.
Opal-and-jade marquetry caseback. Simply . . . wow!
Here are a few photos of the chain which is claimed to be crafted by "Switzerland's last master chain-maker."
La Ravenale is a piece unique.
Thanks for looking.
