A master watchmaker such as Michel Parmigiani creates his art through mathematical precision and expert engineering, but the secret to his success isn’t new technology—it’s an appreciation for the history of the craft.

Parmigiani is the founder of Parmigiani Fleurier, a design, manufacturing, and watchmaking centre, and his creations are treated more like fine art than fashion accessories. Parmigiani designs them to last for hundreds of years. After all, he has spent a lifetime working on centuries-old clocks and watches.
