Founder Michel Parmigiani had conceived the brand as far back as 1976 through his work restoring watchmaking artifacts and his detailed knowledge of historical mechanical clocks and watches.

[3] Parmigiani's career advanced significantly with the development of the Chopard 1860, the brand's first watch with an in-house mechanical movement.

[5] In 2016, Parmigiani Fleurier unveiled the Hippologia, a 55kg, oval-shaped table clock covered in a foil of white gold and elaborated with the French glassmaker Lalique.

In order to make it readable while driving, the face of the watch has been placed in a vertical position on the case's front.

[19] In 2016, Parmigiani-Fleurier presents the Senfine concept housing a new escapement taking advantage of the properties of silicon flat springs.

The revolutionary concept uses an oscillator with high frequency and low amplitude for enhanced precision and power reserve.
