Bertolucci: Remo's dream!

Remo Bertolucci has jumped out off an airplane some fifteen hundred times. His addiction is the real thrill of the free fall for forty seconds before he pulls his parachute chord. That surely qualifies him to be a watch designer and a great one at it.

Remo a Tuscan, brought up in Pisa in Italy, was trained in electro - technical engineering. While on a skiing holiday at fourteen, he met a pretty Swiss girl called Pierrette Michelotti. That fateful meeting led to a great horological collaboration; though the couple doesn't know when the other romance started. Pierrette's father had bought a small watch making business in1939 on the outskirts of Biel.
