PANERAI

A house founded in 1860 in Florence and bringing together a workshop, a boutique and subsequently a watchmaking school, Panerai was for decades the supplier of precision instruments
of the Italian Military Navy, with which it first equipped the frogman commandos.
The projects that emerged during this period, including the Luminor and Radiomir watches, remained for years covered by military secrecy, until the brand’s acquisition in 1997 by the Richemont Group and its subsequent launch on the international market .
Today, Panerai develops and produces its own movements and watches – at the crossroads of Italian design and Swiss watchmaking know-how – in its factory in Neuchâtel. Panerai watches are sold worldwide through an exclusive network of authorized dealers, as well as in its mono-brand boutiques around the world.
