Panerai is now recognized as one of the major brands in the industry and has a huge impact on its aficionados and collectors, the ‘Paneristi’. But it has not always been like that.

And that’s the story that our friends from WatchTime tried to relate you.http://monochrome-watches.com/watchtime-wednesday-panerai-became-manufacture/
