The new book PANERAI tells the story of the past and present of the Florentine high quality sports watchmaking brand Officine Panerai, which in just a few years has transformed what was a niche product for collectors into a global. Available in four languages – Italian, English, Chinese and Japanese – the Panerai book is distributed throughout the world.

Published by the Italian publishing house Marsilio and created with the editorial coordination of the Cologni Foundation for the Métiers d’Art, the book respects the identity of the brand with its elegant, simple yet sophisticated graphic design, its exquisite attention to detail, and the richness and originality of its content. It consists of five essays covering five different aspects of the identity of Officine Panerai, each one written by a different author. The essays take the reader on a journey through the fascinating worlds which define the distinctive identity of the Florentine brand: the history, the technology, the sea and the design.

This last aspect is covered by the respected historian and art critic Philippe Daverio who, with his unmistakeable discerning style, puts the creation of the first Panerai watches in context. The first Radiomir is dated 1936 and he places it “Among the classics of modernity”. The Panerai watch is associated with the first examples of great Italian and international design, as well as with the architecture and works of art which marked the international style in the 1930s and 1940s.The essay by ProfessorPaolo Galluzzi, Director of the Museo Galileo in Florence, illustrates the role which Italy, and in particular the capital of Tuscany where the first Panerai watch was created, played in the development of time measuring instruments.
