Brand Context – Founded in Florence in 1860, Panerai began as a workshop and watchmaking school, later supplying precision instruments to the Italian Navy, particularly its diving corps. Its signature designs, including Radiomir and Luminor—remained under military secrecy for decades before entering the civilian market following acquisition by the Richemont Group in 1997. Today, Panerai operates from its manufacture in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, blending Italian design heritage with Swiss horology.
