La Ravenale Minute Repeater Objets d'Art

In the case
The Parmigiani Fleurier La Ravenale is an exceptional expression of haute horlogerie, where restoration, craftsmanship, and nature-inspired artistry converge. Inspired by Madagascar’s Traveller’s Palm, its white gold case, engraved details, and opal-and-jade marquetry celebrate the harmony of natural geometry and traditional métiers d’art. At its heart lies a restored historical minute repeater calibre, bringing time to life through the intimate language of sound while preserving the authenticity of a century-old movement. A true collector’s creation, La Ravenale reflects Michel Parmigiani’s lifelong dedication to mechanical artistry and preservation.

Why we carry it

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.

The movement · Original historical movement manufactured by Koehn A Genève

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.
