'Inhouse' movement is really an 'Outhouse' movement...

They lied and got caught.

Thanks for sharing R.

the lie is precisely the point.

the rest is panerai’s history itself…

 

”Having such a movement in a
US$ 10k or 27k watch could be
compared to opening the engine hood
of your Porsche 911 only to find out it
has a Peugeot 3-cylinder engine.”

 

Not diminishing the 3-cylinder engine, even the old dive models in the 30’s and 40’s had rolex calibers which in fact were cortebert made (nowadays you buy a 616 cortebert for 300usd and before the panerai fever they were three times less, so we can imagine production costs at 1/3 of the value).

 

Later came unitas and after that transvestites…

 

But if they sell, there is demand.

 

point is, like you said, the “in-house” lie
