Panerai Jupiterium Solar System Clock

Panerai released an amazing clock at SIHH 2010 named the Jupiterium. The Clock is based on Galileo’s interpretation of the Solar System, and was unveiled at the Nobel Museum in Stockholm. The Clock shows the position of the Moon, Sun, Jupiter and the Stars as viewed from Earth. There are Three of these clocks in existence.

The clock has a 40 day power reserve, and has the time mounted on the wooden base. The ironic thing about it I suppose is that the Earth appears in the centre of the clock, when Galileo was in fact the first person to suggest that the Earth was NOT the center of the solar system. This clock conveys their relationship rather than the position of the different celestial bodies.

The Panerai Luminor Power Reserve

Panerai, the luxury Italian brand highly resolved in developing precision instruments can come quite surprisingly for a watch enthusiast. Issuing special editions every year, the Panerai watches are always produced in less numbers, thus enjoying an increased demand. Buying Panerai watches can be a worthwhile investment as they are extremely durable, and include increased operational functions. Panerai products are mainly used for under-water as well as for professional timekeeping purposes.

The leaders in the professional time keeping instruments, Panerai in its Contemporary collection has something extra to offer. The Luminor Power Reserve, a latest addition to the contemporary collection, enables the user to estimate the power reserve by checking the indicator on the dial. In this model, the transmission device connects the spring barrel winding and the rotation of the movement to the power reserve indicator window. This complex function is powered by Panerai caliber OP IX, an exclusive automatic mechanical movement with 21 jewels and COSC certification. The model is available in 44mm and 40mm diameter case sizes, sculpted in steel, titanium/steel or titanium case.

Produced in limited quantity, the 44mm model has 16.8mm height, and is characterized with screw-in case-back and crown with brake lever lock. Buyers can choose from black or blue dial colors with luminous coated Arabic numerals, lines markers, and hour pointers. The crystal has 2.5mm thick sapphire with anti-reflective coating and magnifying lens over the date at 3 o' clock, subsidiary seconds at 9 o'clock and power reserve at 5 o' clock. The model comes with interchangeable strap options with personalized Panerai adjustable clasp as well as a complex bracelet of overlapped titanium/steel. The model is water resistant up to 300 meters. The luminor power reserve watches offer 42 hours of power reserve and features date read out. And finally, the Incabloc anti-shock device incorporated in this contemporary collection makes it rather refined.

The 40mm diameter model is available in brushed steel case with polished steel bezel. With other functions and characteristics similar to the 44mm model, there is a power reserve indicator on the dial at 5 0' clock screening 42 hours of power reserve. There is also an unusual variety in this model that is especially crafted for left-handed people. This certified chronometer also offers 42 hours of power reserve.

Panerai Radiomir 8 Days

The Radiomir collection is enhanced by the 8 Days model, using an innovative movement which once more reaffirms the philosophy of Officine Panerai, firmly based on functional simplicity achieved through Haute Horlogerie solutions. This is a return to the past, with the representation in a modern key of a mechanism which Officine Panerai has already experimented with, the hand-wound 8-day movement. The calibre used in the 1940s was the Angelus, while the new model from Officine Panerai has a Jaeger-LeCoultre base.

The complexity of the Panerai Radiomir 8 Days is the result of many factors. The case is 45 millimetres in diameter and consists of three parts; it is fitted with the patented slim wire loop strap attachments which provide the maximum resistance and reliability. The roundness of the caseband, with curved planes intersecting where the diameter is greatest, requires numerous operations, carried out by only the most expert craftsmen, since the smallest mistake in the polishing operation would irreparably damage the pleasing convexity of the watch.

The screwed back and crown ensure waterresistance to 100 metres, a degree of watertightness that is important for a piece which combines sporting qualities with elegance. Its unique style is reinforced by a leather strap with an over-sized buckle, the trapezoid design of which is inspired by that of the earliest models created by Officine Panerai. This horological adventure began in 1938 with the Radiomir made to order for the Royal Italian Navy, and the design returned in the late 1990s, since when the production of this model has been planned to meet the demands of the public of enthusiasts, searching for pieces distinguished by a strong, sought-after personality.

The debut of the Radiomir range of Officine Panerai’s latest historical phase dates back to 1997, with a model created a limited platinum edition with a period Rolex movement. This piece is highly sought-after by collectors and sells for very high prices at international auction sales. In its turn the Radiomir 8 Days is distinguished by its prestigious mechanical movement: the Panerai OP XIV calibre is actually based on the JLC 1877 calibre, a hand-wound movement with a power reserve of eight days, a duration now considered standard for currently produced top-of-the-range watches. The finish of the movement is reinforced by its Côtes de Genève decoration, as well as by its burnished blued screws. A peculiarity is the unusual positioning of the graduated scale indicating the power reserve, which is fitted on a bridge of the movement and therefore visible through the sapphire glass porthole on the back of the watch.

The dial of the Panerai Radiomir 8 Days is made using the technique employed by Panerai for its early watches: it is a sandwich dial, in that it consists of two superimposed discs, the upper one being perforated, while the lower one is covered with luminous material. The small seconds dial is at 9 o’clock, in accordance with the traditional Officine Panerai positioning.

Japanese and Swiss Replica Watches Differences

In this guide, we do our best in explaining what are the quality differences between Replica Watches over the net.

Mechanism Manufactured In..?

* Swiss Made (Swiss Replicas)Movement mechanism was actually manufactured in Switzerland, by a company selling movement mechanisms to the REAL brands. One Well known Company is ETA Swiss Replica watches are TOP grade watches.

* Japanese Made (Standard Replicas)Movement mechanism manufactured in Japan, the quality differences in this category are tremendous. You may have Japanese made replicas of the highest quality available, even compared to the Swiss category. And you may have true “junk” worth even less than the Chinese “paper toy” replicas. Our “Standard Replicas” are of the highest level available today on the Internet or elsewhere, your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. Note: Throughout the Internet, unless mentioned a replica watch is “Swiss Made”, 99% of the times its Japanese made, unless you are getting robbed with a Chinese one..High Quality Standard Replica watches are HIGH grade watches.

* Chinese Made (Cheap Replicas)The lowest of the low. WE DO NOT DEAL WITH CHINESE MADE REPLICAS. Those are the watches you usually see sold on the street or in 3rd world country shopping markets, for example as in Vietnam and Mexico.

Movement Types

* Swiss Replicas

7750 Valijoux: Used in REAL brand watches. Fully Automatic.ETA: Standard for “Automatic” Replicas unless otherwise mentioned. Fully AutomaticQuartz Battery: If the watch is not called “Automatic”, then its working on a battery.

* Standard Replicas

ETA: Standard for “Automatic” Replicas unless otherwise mentioned. Fully AutomaticQuartz Battery: If the watch is not called “Automatic”, then its working on a battery.

Gold, Stainless Steel and Diamond

* Swiss Replicas

Gold: Whenever mentioned gold, you see REAL plated high quality 18K gold.Steel: Whenever mentioned Steel, you see REAL 440 Stainless Steel. 440 is the level of Steel strength, made in Switzerland.Diamonds: Whenever mentioned diamonds, you see Cubic Zirconia which is a mineral that is widely synthesized for use as a diamond simulant.

* Standard Replicas

Gold: Whenever mentioned gold, you see REAL gold, but not high-quality 18K gold!Steel: Whenever mentioned Steel, you see REAL 440 Stainless Steel. 440 is the level of Steel strength, made in Japan.Diamonds: Here is where you need to check the website you are buying from, most Standard Replicas do not consist of real diamonds, Ask before buying! Our Standard Replicas are one of the few built with real diamonds.

Water-proof or Water-resistant?

* Swiss Replicas

Swiss Replicas are 100% water PROOF, meaning you can swim wearing the watch, without having the warranty expire. Our Swiss Replicas were proven at 30 meters of dive depth.

* Standard Replicas

Here is another tricky spot of the replica industry: Standard Replicas are NOT water proof, they are water RESISTANT! meaning you cannot swim or even shower wearing the watch, you get no warranty on water damages with Standard Replicas, this is the industry standard procedure. Do not fall for online stores promising coverage for water damage on Standard Replicas, its a hoax.

Warranty

* Swiss Replicas

Should include an extensive 180 days warranty on all damages.

* Standard Replicas

Should include a 90 days warranty on manufactures defects, will not cover water damages.

Price

* Swiss Replicas

Will usually vary between $500 and $800, what you are paying for is the quality of materials, especially the movement mechanism and extensive warranty.

* Standard Replicas

Will usually vary between $180 and $260, what you are paying for is the complete service of providing a high quality TRUE replica using CHEAP materials and a personal support service.

Markings

* Swiss Replicas

Will bear all markings and Engravings to the Authentic Watches, they will also carry the same weight and size to the authentic watches.

* Standard Replicas

Will usually vary slightly from the authentic watches, markings and engravings will very slightly vary to the authentic watches but is only noticable when compared to the authentic watches side by side, we at Replica Hause however aim to provide and manufacture watches which bear all markings and engravings and also carry the same weight to the authentic watches.

Thanks for your time! We hope this guide will shed some light on the important parameter to consider when deciding the level of replica watch suitable for you.

Panerai Watch History

Panerai, one top brand of Italy watches. As we know, and design for well over one hundred years among collectors and other cognoscenti, as we know over the last several years, Panerai watches have earned a worldwide reputation for excellence in design and performance.Let’s look back of Panerai’s development of history.

In 1860, Giovanni Panerai opened his watch-making shop in Florence, Italy. Florence’s first watchmaker, G. Panerai & Co., quickly established a reputation for making exquisitely crafted watches.After Giovanni died, his son Leon Francesco Panerai took over his father’s workshop and continued to build upon the Panerai reputation for excellence. No soon a new venture named Guido Panerai and Figliothe when Leon’s son Guido also joined the business, and that time the business focused on designing and manufacturing high-precision mechanical instruments for many different clients, eventually, Royal Italian Navy also joined the business and then the company was renamed Officine Panerai again.

In the early 1930s, Guido’s children, Giuseppe and Maria, continued their father’s work with Maria focusing on the watch-making part of the business and Giuseppe working mainly on expanding the company’s long relationship with the Italian Navy. He continued to develop and manufacture luminous devices for divers, including wrist compasses, depth gauges, and a wide range of other fine mechanical equipment designed for underwater performance.

In 1936, the navy asked Giuseppe to design and build an underwater watch that could withstand extreme conditions. The first Panerai Radiomir watch prototype passed all testing protocols.

In 1938-1993, Panerai launched just 300 timepieces, it started selling its oversized timepieces produced in limited numbers for the general public in Italy. The company experienced World War II in this period.the navy needed all the equipment that the Panerais could make, especially diver’s watches. In 1943, the first Panerai Mare Nostrum chronograph was introduced for naval officers, although the watch never went into production.

In 1949, a patent was issued for the Panerai Luminor. This model effectively replaced the Radiomir. Work continued, with craftsmen focused on creating Panerai watch models able to perform at greater and greater depths. Until the end of the 1980s, new Panerai watches were made exclusively for military clients; however, the company made their watches available to the public in the early 1990s.The big break for the company came when Franco Cologni, an executive with the Vendome Group, presently known as the Richemont group, was really impressed by Panerai watches. His deep interest in the brand and its products led to the acquisition of Panerai by the Richemont group in 1997.

Since 1997 the brand has been ruled by Angelo Bonati. Panerai CEO faced the major decision whether to continue assembling timepieces from ETA movements and further increase the production or take the challenge and develop Panerai in-house caliber while remaining a limited-production brand. Finally, Mr. Bonati chose the second alternative. He wanted Panerai timepieces to be equipped with elaborated movements with very specific characteristics, which would be easily recognized as a signature caliber for Panerai. As the result in March, 2005 there appeared a large hand-wound 8-day movement, the P.2002, which took two years to be developed. The first timepiece to feature the innovative movement became the Radiomir 8 days GMT limited to only 50 pieces.Panerai replica watches reflect all the long way the brand has passed to the firm position it presently occupies in the world of watch-making.

Once you’re at this point, please push the Screw in Gently until it goes slightly inside. At this point you will be Rotate the Screw Freely but the Minute and Seconds hand will not move anymore while turning the Screw. Once at this point, please turn the Screw of the Watch in the 12 O Clock Position (Upwards Position) approximately 10-15 times. While performing this step you will hear the machinery inside the Watch gearing up against each other. Please note that if you hear a very Smooth noise or do not hear anything at all that means you are Winding the Watch incorrectly. You need to perform this step once in a while (Once in every 2-3 Days) since it helps keep the watch running much longer than when you do not wind the Watch at all and make the Watch move by Shaking the Watch alone.

Setting Date and Time.

Please unscrew the crown (setting knob) of the watch. Turn the Knob from up to down (downwards) you will feel the knob loosen and then it will pop out gently.Pull out the pin very gently and turn downwards OR upwards in some watches to set the date. If you have a Day and Date watch turn upwards to set the day of the week.

Please make sure you push turn the pin tightly because most cases of Water Damaged watches are caused due to the pin being screwed up not tight enough.

Panerai Historical Archive

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.

Maintenance advice of Panerai watches

Maintenance advice of Panerai watches

Panerai watches are made to very high standards of quality. It is worth remembering that the mechanical parts run 24 hours a day when used, so the watch must undergo regular maintenance to ensure long life and good operation.

<1>.Water-resistance

Have your watch checked periodically for water-resistance by an Authorized Service Centre and restore it every two years with regular servicing, or whenever the watch has to be opened.The restoration of water-resistance necessarily involves replacing the seals so as to ensure the maximum water-resistance and security.Where the watch is used in underwater sports activities, it is recommended that it should be checked every year before the underwater activities begin.

<2>.The movement

Have the movement of your watch checked periodically by an Authorized Service Centre so as to preserve its perfect operation. If the watch has a tendency to gain or lose time to a significant degree, the movement may need to be overhauled.The movements are designed to withstand temperature variations between -10°C and + 60°C (14°F and 140°F). Outside this range of temperatures, operational variations exceeding those set out in the specifications of the movement may be noticed. In addition, there is a risk that the lubricants contained in the movement may deteriorate, resulting in damage to some of its parts.

<3>.Cleaning the exterior

To keep the exterior in perfect condition, we recommend washing your Panerai watch with soap and warm water, using a soft brush. After this operation, and also after bathing in the sea or a swimming pool, carefully rinse the watch with clean water. All Panerai watches can be polished with a soft, dry cloth.

<4>.The strap

The strap must be washed in warm water and left to dry. It is important not to dry it on a hot surface or exposed to direct sunlight, because the rapid evaporation of the water could damage its shape and quality. After each bathe in the sea or a swimming pool, carefully rinse the strap with clean water.To replace the strap, it is recommended that you should go to an Authorized Retailer or Service Centre. In this way the inconvenience caused by incorrect replacement can be avoided.Only an Authorized Retailer or Service Centre can guarantee the use of genuine straps, properly designed to fit the dimensions of the case and manufactured according to the quality standards of the brand.

<5>.The metal bracelet

The bracelet can be washed with soap and warm water, using a soft brush. After this operation, and also after bathing in the sea or a swimming pool, rinse the bracelet carefully with clean water and dry it with a soft, dry cloth.To add or remove links from the bracelet, it is recommended that you should go to an Authorized Dealer or Panerai Service Centre. In this way the inconvenience caused by incorrect operations can be avoided.

ATTENTION

a) Do not operate the winding crown under water;

b) Do not use the watch at a depth greater than that indicated.
