Parmigiani Fleurier

Also recorded as: Parmigiani · Parmigiani Mesure et Art du Temps · Michel Parmigiani

Fleurier house that grew from Michel Parmigiani's restoration workshop into a manufacture backed by the Sandoz Family Foundation.

Michel Parmigiani opened a restoration workshop in Fleurier in 1976 and became known for restoring complicated clocks, automata and watches for museums and collectors. In 1995 the Sandoz Family Foundation became his partner, and the first watches under the Parmigiani Fleurier name were presented in 1996.

The group built up its own suppliers in the Val-de-Travers — movements, cases, dials and balance springs — so that it could make watches almost entirely in-house, and it continues to run a restoration department.
