Our Recommended Merchants To Buy Panerai Watches
A fine swiss watches collection to consider are Panerai watches.
This family run business was founded in 1860 by Giovanni Panerai
(1825-1897), with the first watchmaker's shop opening in Florence on
the Ponte alle Grazie. It soon established contact with the most
prestigious and time-honoured Swiss watch manufacturers, marking it as
one of the top watchmakers in the region.
Between
the years of 1890 and 1900, the business moved into the hands of Guido
Panerai (1873-1934), grandson of the founder. He energized the business
to such a degree that Panerai watches became the official watch for the
Royal Italian Navy. See also other military watches.
The close link
between the Florence based watchmaker and the Swiss manufacturers grew,
and at the turn of the century, the shop moved to the Piazza San
Giovanni site in Florence, where the Panerai boutique can be found
today, and the Orologeria Svizzera name, still visible today, appears
on the shop door to underline the close link between the watches and
their Swiss origin.
Whatever you opt for
in the end, you really can’t go wrong with adding Panerai waches to
your set. It will certainly stand you in good stead.
