Guest abasf Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 So i talked to one of my friends, who is well connected in the world... and he has friends who own watch factories in china, and he told me that panerai was at one point made in china... now i don't know about this being true or false but considering how accurate they can be, what do you guys think?

gran Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 PANERAI was at one point made in Florence Italy they are Italian of origin ....today the SWISS are making the PANERAI so in this sense its a SWISS replica of sorts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctos Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 PANERAI was at one point made in Florence Italy When the company was taken over and the production was moved to Switzerland, an Italian investor hired up all the workers in Florence who had been making the pre-V's and started Anonimo.

See! Its finaly confirmed that PANERAI is a AAA+ SWISS replica....the SWISS simply liked the name and style and took it form there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest abasf Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Well according to swiss law for the movement to be considered Swiss, 51% of its value must be Swiss and at least the last wheel must be added in Switzerland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmtol Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Guy's, I know that the ceramic cases/body's are made in the Netherlands. In a city called Deventer. The raw material (half product) that is and the finishing touch is made by Panerai. Greets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive heard the steel is from U.S. steel industry and that some of the horologist actually designing the Swiss watches are Danish or even Finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
