Panerai has truly evolved as a watch company, in only 15 short years since the rebirth of the brand, the watchmaker has managed to become one of the hottest brands in swiss made men’s watches. They have also released a new line of manufacture movements, making Panerai officially a watch manufacture.

I’ve been reading a bit about Panerai lately, because the brand interests me. And since the new Panerai has only been around since 1993, the amount of information is manageable. For Panerai lovers, this is all old new.. but Panerai has a whole new host of models out now and four Calibers that were released in around 2006.

Here is a wonderful Panerai video showing the construction of the Caliber P2002 movement from Panerai. A fantastic 8 Day movement with three barrels.

Here is a quick overview of all the movements that are produced by Panerai In-House:
