Fun Fact
Bianchet founders Rodolfo and Emmanuelle’s passion for the 1000-year-old mathematical principles of the Fibonacci sequence didn’t start with their watchmaking adventure.
Rodolfo is an Italian entrepreneur who founded several successful Fintech (financial technology) companies. He was the founder and CEO of Riflexo, the Turin-based financial analysis and software developer behind the first online smartphone trading app. The app, Trade Interceptor, is built around Rodolfo’s brainchild, TrendRisk, an engine that analyzes market psychology to detect trends based on mathematical algorithms deriving from the Golden Ratio of 1.618 and the Fibonacci sequence.
Emmanuelle, a painter and musician, also has a particular affinity for the harmony that emanates from the Golden Ratio in music and the arts. She was born in Rome to a French family of artists and musicians and attended the Conservatory. She was particularly influenced by the way Renaissance painters used the golden ratio principles and the Fibonacci sequence in their paintings and their implementation in sacred geometry.
