Introduction Panerai is one of the most admired luxury watch brands. Its origins can be traced back to 1860, when Giovanni Panerai opened a watchmaking shop in Florence, Italy. The distinguished company enjoys a long history of manufacturing military diving watches and other precision timekeeping instruments. It was a major supplier of the Royal Italian Navy. The Florentine watch company had been managed by the founding family until the death of Giuseppe Panerai in the early 70s. In 1972, Italian engineer Dino Zei took over the management and registered the “Officine Panerai”. Until the 1990s, the supply of panerai watches was limited to armed forces only. In 1993, the iconic brand introduced its first commercial watch collection in limited editions. In the American action thriller movie Daylight (released in 1996), Sylvester Stallone wore a luminor wristwatch. This film has catapulted the popularity of Panerai watches. In 1997, Richemont Group acquired the brand and launched it in the international market. In 2002, the company opened its production facility in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. The manufacture has launched various in-house movements for ensuring its independence. In 2014, it opened a larger manufacturing facility in its premises. Within the Manufacture in Neuchâtel, the Laboratorio di Idee of the company undertakes research and experimental works to develop innovative materials and advanced technologies. Some examples for pioneering materials developed by Panerai are BMG-TECH™, Carbotech™, CERAMICA and COMPOSITE. Presently, the brand is offering timepieces from four flagship collections: SUBMERSIBLE, LUMINOR, LUMINOR DUE and RADIOMIR. These exceptional timekeepers proudly merge Italian design with Swiss watchmaking excellence. Special features of watches (1) Case PANERAI Radiomir PAM00662 A striking feature of all Panerai watches is the case design. The company has been known for large size wristwatches. For example, the case of the first Radiomir watch (reference 3646) had a diameter of 47mm. It also featured wired lugs. Its military watches were always over-sized. Introduced in 1956, the GPF-2/56 Panerai dive watch made for the Egyptian Navy measured 60mm! The brand is now offering men’s wristwatches with case sizes like 42mm, 44mm, 45mm, 47mm, 48mm, 49mm, 50mm and 52mm. The cushion-shape is another distinctive trait of Panerai watches. Every modern timepiece from the company features this characteristic design attribute. A few models from the Radiomir series come with the historic wire lug design. Submersible models feature diving bezels mounted on the case. (2) Crown protection device PANERAI Submersible PAM00683 The crown protection device is an emblematic feature of Panerai watches from the Submersible, Luminor and Luminor Due collections. This patented innovation was introduced in 1956 with the GPF-2/56 diving watch made for the Egyptian Navy. It protects the crown from external damages. The panerai radiomir watches do not have the crown protection system. (3) Dial PANERAI Luminor Due PAM00755 The dial design of Panerai watches stands out with several distinct features. For military diving watches, dial legibility is a must. The brand is still maintaining its rich heritage as a supplier of diving instruments for the Italian Navy. For the same reason, the dials of Panerai watches proudly carry the signature features of the company’s iconic creations. The watches from the Radiomir, Luminor and luminor due collections feature sandwich style dials with large hour markers and generous luminescent coating for providing exceptional legibility even in the darkness. Some models come with large Arabic numeral hour-markers at the cardinal points (3, 6, 9 and 12). In other models, depending upon the position of additional complications, two or three Arabic hour-markers have been used. The watches from these collections are also available without Arabic numerals. In the submersible series, you will find dotted hour-markers and rectangular indices instead of Arabic numerals. In spite of differences in designs, all the dials ensure excellent visibility and easy reading. (4) Lume PANERAI Luminor PAM01316 Initially, Panerai used to produce diving instruments and timekeepers for the divers of the Royal Italian Navy. To meet the specific demands of the submarine troops, the brand introduced several innovations and new design features. One such invention was Radiomir. Developed in 1916 and patented by Guido Panerai, this radium-based powder was used for making sighting instruments and dials luminous. Introduced in the 1940s, the radiomir watch is named after this material. Later on, the company introduced Luminor, a tritium based luminescent technology as the replacement of radio-active powder. The adaption this lume material resulted in the birth of a new timepiece named Luminor. Both of these luminescent materials have been now replaced with modern phosphorescent pigments. In the modern Radiomir watches, the brand uses a special Super-LumiNova® pigment with the color of the historic radium luminescent elements. (5) Long power reserve PANERAI Radiomir PAM00292 It is a pioneer in the production of mechanical wristwatches with extended power reserve. The GPF-2/56 model developed in 1956 had an incredible autonomy of eight days. Today, most of the Panerai watches are rated for a minimum power reserve of 72 hours (3 days). The brand also offers timepieces with operational autonomy of more than a week. The notable examples are the Radiomir 8 Days 45mm and the luminor GMT 10 Days 44mm.

Its timepieces boast some special characteristics to appeal the brand’s passionate followers, especially the members of the famous Paneristi community.

Introduction & History Ulysse Nardin is one of the oldest swiss watch brands. The Le Locle based Manufacture has been known for its creative freedom and nautical heritage. Its flagship collections are Classico, Blast, Freak, Diver and Marine. The company embarked on its horological adventure in the mid 19th century as a producer of marine chronometers. Ulysse Nardin, the visionary founder of the brand, was born in 1823. Passionate about the boundless oceans and famed explorers, he established a watchmaking workshop in 1846 to produce nautical timekeeping instruments. Within a short span of time, it began supplying high precision marine chronometers to commercial ships and navies throughout the world. The Manufacture also ventured into other horological complications like pocket chronometers, minute repeaters and etc. The quartz crisis (from the late 1970s and early 1980s) was very challenging for Switzerland’s traditional watchmakers. In 1983, Rolf Schnyder acquired the company. With the generous assistance of talented Swiss master watchmaker Ludwig Oechslin, he revived the prominent brand. His aim was to establish a fully fledged manufacture capable of producing in-house movements, dials, and various other components associated with premium timepieces. In the mid 1990s, inspired by the illustrious maritime heritage of the distinguished company, Ulysse Nardin launched Marine Chronometer 1846, the brand’s first marine chronometer wristwatch. The successful acquisition of Donzé Cadrans in 2011 was a strategic step. In 2012, it launched the first manufacture automatic movement. As on date, it maintains a significant inventory of mechanical calibers, which are entirely developed and produced in-house. The prestigious Maison is also known for its extensive expertise in the field of enamel dials and Silicium technology. One of its notable innovations is the ulysse nardin freak watch with 7-day carrousel-tourbillon and silicon components. Presently, the brand offers various types of mechanical watches, including high complications featuring complex mechanisms like minute repeater, perpetual calendar and tourbillon.

Introduction Gold is the most admired precious metal and considered as the symbol of affluence and prestige. It has been widely used for producing jewellery, coins and artifacts since ancient times. In the watchmaking industry, gold is the most desirable material when it comes to the manufacturing of luxury watches: Gold watch. Since the pure gold (24 carats) is malleable and frail, watch manufacturers prefer 18K gold alloy, which contains 75% gold and 25% other metals. Durable than 24K gold, 18-carat gold is an ideal choice for making premium watches. Pure gold has a lustrous yellow color. The color of 18K gold alloy varies depends upon the alloy combination. 18K yellow gold contains 75% gold, 15% silver and 10% copper; 18K white gold has 75% gold and 25% Palladium or Platinum; and 18K Rose Gold combines 75% gold, 9.2% silver and 22.2% copper. Majority of timepieces from prestigious watchmaking houses are made of gold. It is the best precious metal for employing various finishes, engravings and decorations. However, solid gold has been rarely used in the production of timepieces due to high material cost and scarcity. So, several companies use electro-plating or PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating to produce affordable watches endowed with the lustrous sheen of gold. Switzerland is the most significant producer of gold watches. Many prestigious brands offer these luxurious timepieces as part of their regular collections. Several companies occasionally release precious metal watches in limited editions. The best-selling gold watches The celebrated Maisons like Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Rolex, Cartier and Omega are the leading producers of Swiss made gold watches.
