Founded in Florence in 1860, Panerai began as a workshop dedicated to precision instruments, shaped early on by a decisive partnership with the Royal Italian Navy. Designing instruments and tool watches for extreme conditions forged a mindset rooted in performance, innovation, and purpose.
After joining the Richemont Group in 1997, Panerai gained international recognition for its distinctive DNA of Italian design and Swiss watchmaking expertise. Today, the Maison continues to create timepieces that push boundaries, translating its technical heritage into contemporary watchmaking for Modern Heroes—individuals driven by curiosity, courage, and the will to go further. We empower those who embrace challenges, value authenticity, and seek to leave a mark, together with a Maison that has never stopped evolving.
