This time, the Latin motto "tempus fugit" (time flies) was the starting point of the wonderful adventure that inspired Parmigiani Fleurier’s craftsmen to create this exceptional mechanical clock. Whether long or short, friend or adversary, time runs wild and free. The idea of “taming” it, not to gain mastery over it but rather to better appreciate it, was the starting point of the amazing adventure that gave birth to this magnificent jewellery clock, baptised as “Hippologia”.

Because the animal kingdom has long been associated with the Swiss heritage of Parmigiani Fleurier, through the Maurice-Yves Sandoz Collection, the automaton takes the form of the noble Arabian thoroughbred, the desert horse prized for its courage and endurance. The figure displays with elegance and nobleness the motion of two majestic horses. The mare and her foal follow an elliptic path and are no longer caught in the movement of time, but ride on the waves of time itse
