A few months we tried something a little different. Instead of just your standard hands on watch review, we decided to pick a brand that makes high-end timepieces for both men and women ? the brand was Girard-Perregaux for those of you who don?t remember the article ? and highlight one watch for him and one watch for her that had really caught our fancy.
The idea of course was that you the reader may have been looking for a gift for that someone special in your life (which for some of you may in fact be yourself but hey, there?s absolutely no harm in wanting to get yourself a nice watch I always say!) Anyway, the point is the article was very well received and so given that holiday season is upon and the time of gift-giving nigh, it seemed like a good idea to do another one. This time around we?ve chosen another high-end, although often underrated (in my opinion at least) Swiss watchmaker by the name of Parmigiani Fleurier, or just Parmigiani for short. Now don?t be surprised if that name is not so familiar to you, at just 18 years old Parmigiani is still very much a young brand ? especially relative to the centuries old Ateliers that dominate the luxury watch industry ? and as such is still establishing itself a serious player that?s going to be around for the decades to come.
That being said, it would be remiss of me not to mention what an achievement it is in this highly competitive industry to build a brand from scratch, earn the respect of your peers and be recognized ...
