elements of their in-house Corum 285-150-20-0F03FB50R Men's watch movements

We were greeted by some very impressive looking CNC machines hard at work, transforming discs of gold into highly precise elements of their in-house Corum 285-150-20-0F03FB50R Men's watch movements.From here parts go on to be "buffed" by a series of materials ranging from large ceramic pieces down to very fine sand in a process unique to Parmigiani and lending to their overall luster after decoration.Further refinements are made in various stages, each by hand of course, ultimately leading to richly decorated movements boasting such details as chamfered edges and Côtes de Genève.In another part of town, a building devoted to the watch dials and restoration efforts awaited us.

Estimates are $10,000-$15,000 and more details are available here.The Jaeger LeCoultre Geophysic Chronometer is a very cool and historic replica Breitling Steelfish X-Plus Steel Men's watch, one we wouldn't pass up, especially now that JLC themselves are reviving interest in it.

The dials being produced contained intricate layers, Corum 396-250-20-0F01FM30R Men's watch painstakingly pieced together by very steady-handed individuals.We watched as one worker carefully placed minute indices around a dial, seemingly unfazed by the slew of onlookers.In another room, semi-constructed dials were receiving detailed graphic elements via etched plates and ink transfer.Parmigiani dials were not the only ones we ran into, spotting some familiar faces receiving the same care and treatment.
