Panerai - Precision mechanical engineering coupled with a solid, sporty design has been the trademark of Panerai watches since the brand’s foundation in 1860. What Giovanni Panerai started more than a century ago became a legacy of luxury and reliability that earned Panerai watches a place in the Royal Italian Navy. Always a trend-setter, Panerai watches helped make large faces an industry-wide movement that still lingers today: bigger is often better. And with incomparable opulence driving them forward, the Panerai watch brand recently replaced Girard-Perregaux as the official Ferrari timekeeper. No wonder the waiting list to acquire a Panerai timepiece can span several years.
