Moving into another year is always something, but entering an entirely new decade seems to come with even higher expectations. The last decade was a turbulent one, with rapid innovations of which one, the smartwatch, was accompanied by a potential cloud of doom for the traditional watch industry. While primarily the Apple watch sold very well, the watch industry wasn't plunged into another quartz crisis. Many now consider that smartwatches got a new and young generation of customers used to wearing something around their wrist. As a result, they also are curious about what else there is to wear, and then the magic of tiny little gears, levers, and other parts that work together in an astonishing precision seems to be hard to resist. In the new decade, the smartwatches with undoubtfully hold their ground, as their technological features will ever increase. Still, they will no longer be an imminent threat to the mechanical watch industry.

A synthesis of sophisticated elegance, historic roots and Italian design, since 2016 the Luminor Due has been the tangible expression of Panerai’s unceasing technical- aesthetic development. Today, the Luminor Due-42mm turns to gold with the Panerai Goldtech taking center stage.

The Panerai Submersible Verde Militare - 42 MM (PAM01055) has a never-before-seen aesthetic dimension. It is the first Submersible to have a green dial, a feat by itself in regards to the use of color on watches.

Intentionally and repeatedly overturning every convention, probing the confines of an unexplored dimension while deepening the link with tradition, the Submersible Luna Rossa - 47 mm was presented as a preview at the last edition of the SIHH, Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva, and it was the first physical interpretation of the highly emotional partnership with Luna Rossa.

From camouflage prints to combat boots to leather bomber jackets, military-style has long trickled into the civilian population where standard issued-gear is reinvented into fashionable must-haves. This is particularly true in the watch world as illustrated by the bevy of military-style luxury watches regularly released year after year.

With its signature aesthetic and new, modern elements, Panerai has launched its latest Luminor Due collection of watches in a thinner style.

For those of us with slender wrists, there has been a welcomed trend in the luxury watch space towards smaller timepieces. When wristwatches first became a thing at the turn of the 20th Century, they were small. However, as we approached the new millennium, watches gradually became larger and larger. Thankfully, some brands have caught on that not everyone can successfully pull-off oversized timepieces and have introduced smaller versions of well-known luxury watches. Here are some of our favorites right now.

Hailed as one of the most challenging projects of Panerai Laboratoria di Idee, the Luminor Tourbillon GMT- Lo Scienziato is a step above the rest.

As the weather heats up and some of you get ready for summer plans at sea, here is a fleet of nautical inspired luxury watches to bring aboard. Whether you’re lounging comfortably on deck on diving in for a swim, these top timepieces are built to be both ultra stylish and water ready.

Diving watches are often among the most robust creations of the watch world. The demands put on these watches are usually extreme, that is when you are a professional diver. For the amateur diver or people who don't dive at all, these features are often not needed to the extent that they are created. However, their impact on the look of the watch makes it that they have become, and remain, very popular. These four watches are perfect examples of extreme diving watches that also make a statement outside of the water.

If there is one brand that has seawater running through its veins, it is Panerai. Throughout its history, the world's oceans where its playground, and even today this strong connection continues. For some years now, Panerai has put its money where its mouth is and sponsored the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge. Here the world's oceangoing heritage, consisting of some of the most beautiful yachts ever conceived, still battle it out for the highest honor in challenging regattas.

It’s one thing to say you make robust watches; it’s quite another to challenge your clients to put them to the test. Panerai essentially put their money where their mouth is at SIHH this year by offering unique adventures as a perk to buying three of their new limited-edition Submersible models.

With the fourth day, the SIHH is slowly winding down, but goes out with a bang! This is the only day that the fair is open to the public and a lot of people joined journalists and retailers from around the world to admire all the great watches. For us, it is the time to have our last appointments and do the final photoshoots, and once again we were delighted by what we got to see!
