Parmigiani Fleurier and the Montreux Jazz Festival Worldwide in Marrakech

August 2006


A Harmonious arrangement

Parmigiani Fleurier has decided that music and jazz will play a part in its event-driven communication strategy and is sponsoring the Montreux Jazz Festival Worldwide in 2006. Since 2005, the famous music festival has been marketed internationally, enabling a number of large towns worldwide to play host to a music scene which will welcome a wide range of artists, from the greatest music legends to the latest up-and-coming bands.

Parmigiani Fleurier has always set a unique rhythm with its timepieces, so a move towards music has been a natural progression. The Montreux Jazz Festival Worldwide is perfectly in tune with Parmigiani Fleurier's pursuit of excellence. Their timepieces speak of harmony, authenticity, and style. The Haute Horlogerie watch is the product of their aim to offer the ultimate in mechanical precision, commensurate with the best acoustic performances of the Montreux Jazz Festival. Their exacting expertise in craftsmanship, the foundation of the watchmaking tradition, echoes the quality and diversity of their programme of music; the only elements which can strike a chord with a wide audience and with the most discerning clientele.

Marrakech will play host to the Montreux Jazz Festival for the first time from the 3rd to the 5th November 2006. A decisive step, the festival will be Parmigiani Fleurier's first big musical event and will focus the spotlight on its new cultural partnership. Officially revealed as the venue before the authorities of the imperial city and the Montreux Jazz Festival organisation committee, the creation of the Montreux Jazz Festival in Marrakech was celebrated in style when Claude Nobs hosted a dinner at his chalet overlooking the Riviera.
