Founded in Florence, Italy in 1860 by Giovanni Panerai, the Panerai company immediately began establishing connections with prestigious and long established Swiss watches manufacturers. Panerai quickly became known as a top Italian watch company, even though it did not design all of its movements in-house. In the 1890’s, the company had a new vision and began specializing in precision mechanism. Panerai was so good at its new specialty that it became the official supplier of the Royal Italian Navy.
With its success, Panerai moved to Piazza San Giovanni in Florence in 1900. That same year the company made its first precision optical and mechanical instruments for the Italian Ministry of Defense. Much like Rolex, Panerai was extremely innovative in watch making. By 1910 the company had begun experimenting with luminous materials and began producing larger and brighter dials for their watches. With such quality and innovation, the Royal Italian Navy continued to use instruments supplied by Panerai, including depth gauges and timing mechanisms. Panerai even designed a mechanical calculator which the Navy used to launch torpedoes.
By the 1930’s, the company was a major suppliers of underwater instruments. The company continued to make watches, however, and offered the famous Radiomir and Luminor watches. The Radiomir was designed for the Royal Italian Navy to withstand extreme conditions. It featured a luminous dial, cushion shaped case, and loop strap attachments. In the 1950's the Radiomir was improved with an angelus movement and an eight day power reserve. In 1943, Panerai experimented with water proofing technology with the release of the Mare Nostrum. This watch was able to descend to a depth of 200 meters without the watch being affected by the pressure or water.
In the 1970’s the Panerai company passed from the Panerai family to Dino Zei. Working off of previous technology, Panerai was able to release a watch that could withstand pressure up to 1,000 meters in 1980. This watch was made of titanium and featured an automatic mechanical movement, luminous dial and rubber strap.
Panerai has seen its share of famous clients. In 1995 a special edition of the Slytech watch was made for Sylvester Stallone and was later featured in the movie Daylight. Panerai popularity continued to grow as they opened new boutiques in Hong Kong in 2002.
In 1997 Richemont bought Panerai, allowing significant improvements to the company’s efficiency. Recently, in 2005, the first Panerai in-house movement was created and incorporated into an eight day power reserve mechanism. Through years of continuous innovation and a stellar reputation for reliability and precision, Panerai was established as a premier watch maker, not just in Italy but throughout the world.
