summary

What did you think.

Parmigiani Fleurier has been gaining popularity in recent years, but it is also focusing on the production of its own movements equipped with unique innovative technology. I think it is because the DNA of Michel Parmigiani, known as a watchmaker with the "hands of God," is permeated into the brand that it continues to take on new challenges. Why not take this opportunity to look for your favorite watch by paying attention to movements that don't often get attention?

Some of the representative models introduced this time have already been discontinued, and many of them cannot be purchased at official retailers, so if you are in the area, please be sure to stop by Commit Ginza.

Once again, we hope this article helps you find your favorite luxury watch.
