When it took over Officine Panerai in 1997, the Vendôme Group (today Richemont) inherited an important historical legacy from the Florentine company.
To prevent it from being lost, all the historical items found so far and especially those recovered from the firm and the family have been collected together and catalogued.
This material is the foundation of the Panerai Historical Archive, a fascinating historical collection that begins in the mid-1800s and continues right up to the present day.The collection includes watches, compasses, depth gauges, torches and patent documents as well as tools of the watchmaker's art, photographs and documents that bear witness to the work of the Panerai family from the very first watchmaker's workshop opened in Florence in around 1860.
The Historical Archive, today housed in part in the Historical Boutique in Piazza San Giovanni in Florence, illustrates how Officine Panerai, thanks to its patents and the high degree of specialization in its precision mechanical work, developed over the course of the years, won the trust of the Italian Navy and became its main supplier of precision instruments, timing and sighting devices for ships and submersible vessels. Quality and precision always to the fore.
