Parmigiani

Parmigiani logotype

We worked on the new identity of Parmigiani, the Swiss watchmaking company in collaboration with Meta Design (The Creative Factory) to rebuilt an identity to reflect their heritage, for exceptional unique watches. The original design was based on Augustea by Aldo Novarese. The final result follow this idea of monumental capitals, in a contrasted and narrowed version. The A feature a double top serif, as the bottom N to affirm its style.

We designed a set of numerals for the Parmigiani Tonda Watch based on the historical numerals used by the brand since its birth.
