Founded in Florence in 1860 as a workshop, shop and school of watch-making for many decades Panerai
supplied the Italian Navy specialist diving corps with precision instruments. Originally created to be used
deep underwater, Panerai watches are known for their unparalleled legibility and luminosity in the dark. In
1997 the brand was acquired by the Richemont Group and launched on the international market. Today
Panerai develops and crafts its movements and watches at its Neuchâtel manufacture, combining Italian
design flair and history with Swiss horological expertise.
