FROM THE CURATOR
The Toric Qualité Fleurier comes with a promise of unrivaled craftsmanship and timekeeping performance. Established by Michel Parmigiani in 2004, Fleurier Quality certification has become the most demanding certification in the watchmaking world and represents a brand of unquestionable prestige for the Toric – the first watch ever created by Parmigiani Fleurier.With the Qualité Fleurier, the watch (more precisely, the watch head and not the bracelet or buckle) must be 100% Swiss-made. The parts and material itself must be processed in Switzerland, with the exception of rolling, drawing, and wire drawing. In short, all components must be ‘indigenous’ to Switzerland except for the hairspring, which at minimum, must be finished in Switzerland.

THE BRAND
The Parmigiani Fleurier brand - a watch-making adventure that transcends the mundane - was created in Fleurier in 1996 and was guided by the passion of a man who remained faithful to the very essence of the watchmaker. Michel Parmigiani, master horologist, renowned restorer, and talented creator of mechanical time-keepers, dedicates his knowledge, which has been enriched by past and present events, to the benefit of the brand. In 1996, the Sandoz Family Foundation actively became involved in Parmigiani's development, thereby allowing the first watch collections to see the light of day. In less than a decade, Parmigiani Fleurier was able to fit out its manufacturing workshops with the means to produce exceptionally high-quality goods. With its complete vertical alignment, the industrial equipment deployed constitutes one of the rarest and most complete manufacturing workshops of top-quality watches in Switzerland. The very essence of top-quality horology, such as attention to detail or the beauty of the embellishment of a simple or highly complicated movement, is the subject of great attention at Parmigiani Fleurier and is now the reason for its international recognition.
