Parmigiani Fleurier La Ravenale Minute Repeater
Parmigiani Fleurier has unveiled the La Ravenale Minute Repeater to celebrate Michel Parmigiani's 75th birthday, showcasing a stunning Lépine pocket watch that features a restored minute repeater movement from the 1920s. The watch exemplifies traditional craftsmanship with hand-engraved motifs inspired by the Traveller’s Palm of Madagascar, emphasizing the beauty of the Golden Ratio. The ultra-thin movement, which required months of restoration work, is complemented by a white gold case adorned with intricate geometric engravings and luxurious materials such as iridescent opal and jade. The design incorporates a discreet chiming mechanism that strikes the hours, quarters, and minutes, enhancing the watch's resonance and clarity. The dial, crafted in white gold, features a serene blue PVD finish and palm motifs, while the accompanying handmade chain took 100 hours to create. La Ravenale is a unique piece that reflects the elegance and dedication that have defined Michel Parmigiani's storied career in watchmaking, with its price available upon request.
