Panerai

Panerai is a luxury watch brand that was founded in Florence, Italy, in 1860. The company initially specialized in making precision instruments and timepieces for the Italian Navy. In the early 20th century, Panerai created the first underwater military watch, which became an essential tool for the Italian Navy's frogmen during World War II.

In the 1990s, Panerai watches became available to the public and quickly gained popularity among watch enthusiasts. The brand is known for its unique designs, which feature large case sizes, minimalist dials, and oversized crown protectors. It includes many distinguished models such as Radiomir, Luminor, Submersible, and others. Panerai watches are also highly regarded for their exceptional water resistance and robust construction.


Today, Panerai is owned by the Swiss luxury goods conglomerate Richemont and produces a range of watches, including diving watches, chronographs, and dress watches. The brand continues to draw inspiration from its naval heritage and is recognized for its high-quality craftsmanship, unique design aesthetic, and technical innovation.
