Panerai

Panerai is a fusion of Italian design and Swiss watchmaking. The company was founded in 1860 in Florence, Italy, and from 1910 it worked with the Italian Navy to produce timepieces for Italian sailors and divers. Due to military contracts, Panerai watches were not available for general sale until 1993. Panerai is particularly known for its iconic Luminor collection, which has a patented crown guard, and the Radiomir and Submersible collections. Panerai watches are characterized by large, cushion-shaped cases and simple, legible dials.
