A minute repeater where history, craft, and sound converge.
La Ravenale is more than a timepiece — it is an objet d’art that brings together a restored historical Ed. Koehn minute repeater calibre, nature-inspired engraving, and exceptional artisanal craftsmanship.
From the opal-and-jade marquetry to the hand-finished movement, every surface reflects Parmigiani Fleurier’s dedication to preserving rare crafts and mechanical heritage.
We consider it a collector’s watch because it represents something increasingly rare: a creation where restoration, artistry, and horological emotion exist in perfect harmony.
A restored minute repeater calibre with a century of history.
Originally created by Koehn A Genève, this manual-winding Swiss movement combines traditional watchmaking with a minute repeater complication chiming on two gongs. Its architecture features a hanging barrel with Maltese cross stopwork, symmetrical hammers, and a split bimetallic balance with steel hairspring.
Revived with careful preservation of its original components, the calibre represents the enduring craftsmanship and mechanical artistry behind Parmigiani Fleurier’s La Ravenale.

A relationship, not a transaction.
Every watch we sell stays close to us. We organise servicing, source straps, and answer the telephone ourselves — for as long as the watch is yours, and the wrist after that.
When the time comes, we arrange the full service through Parmigiani Fleurier and handle the shipping both ways.
Replacement straps and bracelets at cost, in any material the manufacture offers, fitted in person at the bench.
You speak to Jason — for a warranty question, a service interval, or simply a second opinion — for as long as you own the watch.
Hold it once. Turn it over.
A watch makes more sense in the hand than on a screen — particularly through the sapphire back. Book a viewing at 900 West Hastings St., Vancouver and we will put a loupe in your hand.
