There is no such thing as a conventional Parmigiani, and there should never be something as a conventional Parmigiani. It doesn’t suit the brand.

When it comes to haute horlogerie, Arnold & Son is often a brand that is overlooked by many purveyors.

“Design icon” is among the most abused bits of hyperbole in the Press Release Writer’s Guide, yet in a few rare instances, it actually applies. The IWC Portugieser is such an instance.
