Panerai watches are not the most famous men's watches, but this esoteric brand is becoming very desirable among men who need watches on which manliness is written, and all this is written in a beautiful, understated style of writing.
Few other watches can claim the Panerai pedigree. Originally an Italian watchmaker (the company has since moved to Switzerland), the company had a long history of producing precision underwater sensors for the Italian fleet. During World War II, it was commissioned to produce watches for Italian commandos. His watch design was even considered “secret”. while; How many other watch brands such as James Bondish?
However, after the Second World War, the company went into almost complete obscurity, it was estimated only by selected groups of experts. That all changed when the luxury giant Compagnie Financiere Richemont bought it. Despite the fact that the owners successfully attacked the marketers of Panerai due to ambiguity, fortunately, they did not interfere in the general spirit of creating excellent precision clocks.
Unlike some other manufacturers of luxury watches, the Panerai produces a limited number of watches every year, retaining its place in the highest echelon of Swiss watches.
Today, the company produces two lines of watches; Historical collection and modern collection. The Historic Collection offers copies of classic designs with mechanical winding mechanisms, while the Contemporary Collection accepts classic designs, updates them very slowly and gives them automatic mechanical movements. In these two collections there are only three main models: Luminor, Luminor Marina and Radiomir (from $ 4,000 to $ 20,000).
It is undeniable that Panerai watches are popular with men because of a certain machismo in their design. Of course, many men deny that this is why they bought one, quoting instead the history and craftsmanship of this watch. Of course, but they also appeal to the man, inside of all the articulate men, aren't they?
So what makes them so macho? Well, for starters; Panerai do not make women's watches, and you have the feeling that you feel as if you are joining the only club of men. They are also large, usually with a case width of 44 or 45 mm. Corundum glass has a thickness of 3.5 mm. And most of them have a very chunky protective casing and locking lever - originally designed to improve water resistance in those days when this watch was actually used as a diving watch. The crown protector has truly become the Panerai watch brand.
Panerai watches, being an accessory for macho, are designed for the thinking person. You will not find any vulgar subalds, boys who are trying to become men or cheap tricks. This is a low watch. You get simple, ugly dials, with simple, ordinary hands and discrete apertures. What you get is something that many cannot appreciate; mastery. They can be men's watches, but for Rambo they are not. they are for the sleek, educated, urban but deadly type of James Bond. They are for thinking macho. Is there such a thing?
Panerai watches are very beautiful. Their big, stocky lines are captivated by their understated style. You don't have to be a macho to wear it; you just need to appreciate their delicate beauty.
