The Parmigiani Manufacture employs approximately 240 people at Fleurier and produces around 2,200 watches a year plus movements for Hermes and Chopard. The watches, which retail from $7K to $600K, are sold through a worldwide network of 140 dealers. 

Parmigiani/Vaucher is one of the few companies today which produce their own balance wheels and springs. There are five manufacture calibers currently in the line.
