Giovanni Panerai (1825-1897), founder of the family business, opens the first
watchmaker's shop in Florence on the Ponte Alle Grazie and establishes contact
with the most prestigious and longest established Swiss watch manufacturers. At
the turn of the century, the first deliveries of precision optical and
mechanical instruments are made to the Ministry of Defense. The Panerai family
supplied underwater instruments, torches, wrist compasses and wrist depth gauges
to the Royal Italian Navy.
In 1943,
Officine Panerai
presents the prototype of the first Panerai chronograph, the Mare
Nostrum, designed for deck officers and 6 years later, The patent is
granted for Luminor, the luminous substance based on tritium, which
replaced the previous Radiomir mix developed between 1910 and 1915.
The Radiomir and Luminor watches take their names from these two
luminous substances. In 1997, The Vendôme Group, now Richemont Group
takes over Officine Panerai and the company's range of watches,
compasses, torches and depth gauges. |
