Parmigiani and the Montreux Jazz Festival 2016

A HIGHLY SYMBOLIC ANNIVERSARY EDITION Claude Nobs would have turned 80 in early 2016, the year in which the Festival he created celebrates its 50th anniversary. Since 1967, the Montreux Jazz Festival has been a unique event in the world of music, and it owes its uniqueness to the values espoused by its founder. Inclusiveness, closeness, fellowship; the ability to bring diverse artists together, combined with an obsession for high sound quality – these principles, so dear to Claude Nobs and which he instilled into every aspect of the Festival, continue to be its great strength. An anniversary edition is an opportunity to tell your story, affirm your values and set your sights on the future. Parmigiani Fleurier, which is also celebrating an anniversary, feels a particular attachment to the powerful symbols being honoured in 2016.
