Officine Panerai

Founded in Florence, Italy, in 1860 by Giovanni Panerai, Officine Panerai initially served as a watchmaking school and workshop, eventually becoming a key supplier of precision instruments to the Royal Italian Navy. Their timepieces, known for exceptional luminescence and rugged construction, were integral to naval commandos during demanding missions.

In 1997, the Richemont Group acquired Panerai, transforming it into a globally recognized luxury brand while honoring its Italian heritage and Swiss precision. Today, Panerai continues to innovate with advanced materials and in-house movements, crafting iconic watches that embody clarity, durability, and a purpose-driven design.
