history of panerai

Giovanni Panerai opens his watchmaker's shop on Ponte alle Grazie in Florence: serving not only as a shop and workshop but also as the city's first watchmaking school, Officine Panerai's history begins here. 

${properties.title}

THE ORIGINS

1860 - 1935

Opening of the first Officine Panerai shop

1860

Opening of the first Officine Panerai shop

Giovanni Panerai opens his first shop in 1860 at “Ponte alle Grazie” in Florence, serving not only as a watch shop and workshop, but also as the city's first watchmaking school: the history of Panerai begins here.

After having used various Florentine locations since 1876, the shop moved to its current location in the 1920's for the reconstruction of the “Ponte alle Grazie”, located in the Archbishop's Palace in front of the Florence Cathedral under the name "OROLOGERIA SVIZZERA", a name that has meant high-quality watches in Florence for over a century.

OFFICINE PANERAI REGISTERS THE RADIOMIR PATENT

1916

OFFICINE PANERAI REGISTERS THE RADIOMIR PATENT

In order to meet the military requirements of the Italian Royal Navy, to which Guido Panerai's family had been supplying precision instruments, such as naval combat sights, for years, a radium-based powder was developed to make the dials of instruments and sights brighter, in collaboration with Lieutenant Commander Carlo Ronconi: this is how the Radiomir was born.

The reference to the name "Radiomir" was documented in the addendum of the patent filed in France on March 23, 1916. The high self-luminescence of the compound immediately made radium paste a key element in Panerai's production. The Radiomir patent was the first of the many patents filed to celebrate Panerai's history of innovation.

1935 THE FIRST RADIOMIR PROTOTYPE

1935 THE FIRST RADIOMIR PROTOTYPE

In 1935, the Italian Royal Navy set up a secret program of new underwater assault vehicles and operators.
Panerai took parts in the development of useful technical tools for this new military activity.

To meet the parameters required by the Navy, several high-strength diving timepieces were tested.

The Navy's historical archives record that in 1935 Giuseppe Panerai commissioned some properly elaborated prototypes to carry out technical tests: the best result was the Ref. 2533 made on a base supplied by Rolex-Geneva and modified by Panerai.

PANERAI FOR THE ROYAL NAVY, THE RADIOMIR Ref. 3646 IS BORN

1940s

PANERAI FOR THE ROYAL NAVY, THE RADIOMIR Ref. 3646 IS BORN

This was followed by the creation of the Ref.3646, the instrument that we know today as the "Radiomir" watch. Today's Radiomir watch retains many of the features of the Ref.3646: a large cushion-shaped steel case with a diameter of 47 mm, luminescent numerals and indexes, wire lugs welded to the case and a high-quality manual mechanical movement (at the time, a Cortebert/Rolex 618 calibre derived from a pocket watch was used) and a tanned, water-resistant leather strap, (long enough to be worn over protective clothing). With this decision, regular supplies of Panerai watches to the Regia Marina took place. To improve its function, Giuseppe Panerai modified the structure of the dial with the use of overlapping discs, known as sandwich dials, and the upper part in anodized aluminium with perforated indexes and numbers in order to make the radium paste more legible and luminescent. To improve the legibility of the dial, its layout was redesigned with just 4 large Arabic numerals in the cardinal points and 8 indexes at the hour markers.

PANERAI PATENTS THE NAME LUMINOR

1949

PANERAI PATENTS THE NAME LUMINOR

On 11 January, 1949, a patent was approved for use by Panerai with the name "Luminor" due to all the luminescent and self-luminescent materials used. Giuseppe Panerai realised that the link with radioactivity had to be handled with caution, considering the new reality created by the expansion of impressive military and civil atomic technologies. He decided that the luminescent substances should be given a new and more neutral name and were thus gradually identified by the name Luminor. After more than a decade, the Luminor was recognised with a new luminescent tritium-based substance (a hydrogen isotope), with very low and harmless emissions. This was the result of many studies and experiments, and Luminor gradually became, by convention of use, the common identifier of the Panerai diving timepiece, characterized by the crown-protection bridge.

THE “MARE NOSTRUM” CHRONOGRAPH PROTOTYPE

1950s - PANERAI FOR THE ITALIAN NAVY

THE “MARE NOSTRUM” CHRONOGRAPH PROTOTYPE

Panerai drew up plans for a project, likely already sketched out in the 1940s, of a model specifically designed for Deck Officers: the two-counter chronograph called Mare Nostrum. It is thought that only two or three of these watches were ever made, probably in the 1950s, and all that remains of them are some photographic plates and a single prototype, purchased by Officine Panerai's own museum, at an international auction in 2005.

 PANERAI FOR THE ROYAL ITALIAN NAVY

1954

PANERAI FOR THE ROYAL ITALIAN NAVY

With the increasing involvement in underwater operations, the Navy's requirements become even more specific after the Second World War: military watches had to remain underwater in extreme conditions for long periods of time. In 1954, two new references, the Ref.6152 and the Ref. 6154, were tested.

Some of today's models were inspired by them, as they incorporated some innovations designed to make the construction even more solid and resistant: the case is made from a single block with fixed handles, retaining the cushion shape, with more pronounced edges on the sides. They received a general aesthetic revision of the individual parts and adopted a screw-down winding crown, tubular cylindrical replacing the conical cylindrical of the historic Radiomir.

After careful analysis of the tests, some modifications were made and the definitive reference 6152 1 was born, also with reinforced lugs and made from solid steel from the same block as the case.

OFFICINE PANERAI DEVELOPS THE EGYPTIAN MODEL AND PATENTS THE CROWN-PROTECTING DEVICE

1956

OFFICINE PANERAI DEVELOPS THE EGYPTIAN MODEL AND PATENTS THE CROWN-PROTECTING DEVICE

Panerai develops a diving watch known as the GPF-2/56, which was later popularly known as the "Egyptian" as it was supplied to the Egyptian Navy with the consent of the Italian Navy. The innovations that characterise this model are remarkable, starting with the imposing size of the case, with a diameter of 60 mm and a sufficient resistance and a considerable level of water resistance, the graduated rotating bezel to calculate diving time and the Swiss made Angelus calibre with an 8-day power reserve used as a movement. This was the first time, the element that most identifies a Panerai watch, even today, was structurally introduced: the crown protecting device. The “Egiziano” is the inspiration model for the modern Submersible watches because it is fitted with the rotating bezel to calculate the immersion time. It was in 1956, that Guido Panerai & Figlio took out an international patent for the crown protecting device.

THE EVOLUTION OF THE PANERAI LUMINOR WATCH

1960s - PANERAI FOR THE ITALIAN NAVY

THE EVOLUTION OF THE PANERAI LUMINOR WATCH

The evolution of the Panerai Ref. 6152/1 watch continued unabated in the 1960s. In the process of assembling the overlapping disc dials, known as sandwich dials, the use of radium-based paste disappeared, and with it the name Radiomir. The luminescence now comes from a new low-radiation tritium-based compound which takes the name Luminor. The crown-protection bridge is inserted and adapted to the middle case of the Ref. 6152/1 case. In roughly 80 units, a Swiss-made Angelus SF240 mechanical calibre was adopted for the first time, with an 8-day power reserve. The power reserve thus became a fundamental element in the DNA of the Florentine brand. In some models the solid and closed case-back is replaced by one with a transparent centre made of plexiglass, allowing the mechanism to be seen. Panerai was therefore one of the pioneers in the production of watches with a visible case back. Another fundamental chapter in Panerai's production, which particularly developed in this period, concerns the precision instruments created and supplied at the Italian Navy's request such as compasses and wrist-depth gauges with different calibrations, as well as underwater signal lights to compensate for the pressure, which provided greater resistance at great depths.

A YEAR OF TRANSITION FOR THE COMPANY “G. Panerai &Figlio”

1972 - PANERAI FOR THE ITALIAN NAVY

A YEAR OF TRANSITION FOR THE COMPANY “G. Panerai &Figlio”

In 1972, Giuseppe Panerai, Guido's son died. The management of the family business, together with all the exclusive supply contracts for the Italian Navy, was taken over by engineer and former Italian Navy officer Mr. Dino Zei, who was nominated the new CEO of the company. The Company name changes from "G. Panerai &Figlio" to "Officine Panerai Srl". OFFICINE PANERAI became the official brand name which had already appeared on many products and also watches.

MILLEMETERS WATCH PROTOTYPE

1985 – PANERAI FOR THE ITALIAN NAVY

MILLEMETERS WATCH PROTOTYPE

The company's technical department designs a new diving watch, which incorporates all the technological developments in watchmaking and diving from the 1970s and 1980s, to be subjected to the severe tests used to specify the equipment of the Italian Navy. It is an innovative titanium timepiece with a diameter of 47 mm, still equipped with the typical lever crown protector, the rotating bezel and the dial of indexes formed by “Tasers” (microscopic cylindrical containers) containing the luminescent material. Tests have confirmed that this special Panerai watch can easily withstand more than one hundred atmospheres of pressure, hence the name “Millemetri”.

PRE VENDOME: THE FIRST OFFICINE PANERAI COLLECTION

1993

PRE VENDOME: THE FIRST OFFICINE PANERAI COLLECTION

In order to tackle the serious economic and political crisis that started worldwide in 1992, Officine Panerai decided to go into to the civil watch market, launching three collections, originating from ten total references in numbered and limited editions: the 44 mm Luminor and Luminor Marina watches and the 42 mm Mare Nostrum chronograph, which drew inspiration from the historical models created for the Underwater Commandos division of the Italian Navy. This relieved Ing. Zei, CEO of Panerai, from maintaining military secrecy on these Panerai products. They quickly become highly sought-after items for collectors and enthusiasts. The presentation of the collection took place on 10 September, 1993 in the Military harbour of La Spezia, on the Italian navy cruiser "Durand De La Penne". The ceremony was attended by Duke Amedeo D'Aosta, son of Sir Aimone di Savoia, the supreme head of the Italian diving department at the time.

THE INTERNATIONAL LAUNCH Commemorative re-edition

In April 1998, Panerai made its debut on the International Haute Horlogerie market at the SIHH (Salon de la Haute Horlogerie of Geneva). The collection consists of three models: the Luminor and the Luminor Marina in three different versions, 44 mm in diameter and the Mare Nostrum chronograph 42 mm, now with a narrower bezel and screw back. From this moment Panerai becomes internationally renowned in luxury sport watches, introducing worldwide the trend of large diameter watches. Also, in 1998 Panerai presents the commemorative re-edition of the very first Panerai watch, limited to 60 pieces. The cushion case is of platinum, and the watch has a screw-down winding crown and the original period Rolex movement.

Three new calibres designed and developed in-house by Officine Panerai are presented: the P.2003, the P.2004 and the innovative P.2005. The P.2005 has an elegant tourbillon that has been tailored by the Florentine company, making the tradition of this fine watchmaking complication its own and at the same time innovating the device. In fact, the cage housing the balance wheel and the escapement rotate on an axis that is not parallel to the balance wheel axis, but instead is perpendicular to it. Unlike traditional tourbillons in which the cage completes one rotation per minute, the cage of the Officine Panerai tourbillon completes one rotation in thirty seconds.

PANERAI MANUFACTURE - 2012

A TRIBUTE TO THE PAST: PANERAI PRESENTS TWO RADIOMIR MODELS WITH THE HISTORIC CASE

Officine Panerai re-proposes the exclusive, historically inspired case with two special edition Radiomir models. Unlike the prototypes and the models in production at the end of the 1930s, some historical Radiomir models (Ref.6152 1) produced in the 1950s had a case in which the lugs did not consist of a welded steel wire but were made from the same block as the case and were therefore more solid and more resistant. The new Radiomir models re-propose this special case with a classic 47-millimetre diameter, together with other elements inspired by historical models: Plexiglas® to protect the dial, the circular, rounded bezel, and the cylindrical crown. The Plexiglas® trademark is not owned by Officine Panerai.
