Panerai

Founded in Florence in 1860, Panerai supplied the Italian Navy's special diving units with precision instruments for decades. The designs Panerai developed for military use remained military secrets for many years. The first collection for the civilian market was presented in 1993, and the international debut followed in 1998, after the brand was acquired in 1997 by the group now known as Richemont. Today, Panerai develops and manufactures its movements and watches in its manufacture in Neuchâtel. They represent a flawless blend of Italian design sensibility and history with Swiss watchmaking expertise. Panerai watches are sold worldwide through an exclusive network of distributors and Panerai boutiques.
