About Panerai
Founded in Florence, Italy in 1860, Officine Panerai began as a watchmaking school and supplier of precision instruments to the Italian Navy. Their watches were classified as military secrets for decades — designed for combat divers, built for extreme underwater conditions. Panerai went public in 1993 and immediately captivated collectors worldwide with their unique military heritage.
Now owned by Richemont, Panerai produces watches exclusively in Geneva, Switzerland. Their oversized cushion-shaped cases, luminous dials, and crown-protecting bridges are instantly recognizable. No other watch brand combines Italian design sensibility with Swiss technical precision quite like Panerai.
