Panerai is the product of distinct traditions rooted in two different countries: the sophistication of Swiss watchmaking artistry and an illustrious history of design inheritance from Italy. They are the foundation of a respected brand that mixes advanced horological and aesthetic achievement.

To celebrate its Swiss soul, the brand was inspired by the city of Geneva and conceived a new Luminor, which will be exclusive to the Geneva boutique.

To coincide with the debut of the Panerai boutique at 21 Rue de Rhône in Geneva, the brand will release the Luminor Geneva Boutique Special Edition in a limited edition of 121 pieces. A matte black 44mm case composed of titanium with DLC coating anchors the contemporary watch. And for the first time in the brand’s history, a grainy dial accompanies the P.5000 movement, a manually wound caliber with an eight-day power reserve, a characteristic shared with models Panerai produced in the past for underwater commandos.

The hand-wound P.5000 calibre, a movement entirely developed and produced in the Manufacture in Neuchâtel with a long power reserve of eight days, inspired some of the historic watches created by Panerai for the frogmen of Italian Navy.

It is 15¾ lignes in diameter and 4.5mm thick, very solidly constructed and fitted with a large brush-finished plate with diamond polished chamfering; this almost completely conceals the wheel work, while revealing the balance which oscillates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. The long power reserve is achieved by two spring barrels connected in series

Additionally, an image of the majestic Jet d’Eau fountain, Geneva’s most famous landmark, appears engraved on the caseback as a tribute to the city. Two straps, one in recycled-based PET and another in green rubber, complete the offering with strikingly different styling options for the sporty timepiece, which is water-resistant to 30 bar (~300 meters).

ANTOINE PREZIUSO – SIENA Mother Of Pearl Automatic Edition

 

ANTOINE PREZIUSO – SIENA Mother Of Pearl Automatic Edition

It dial has been realized from Mother Of Pearl, finely cut and decorated. The unique hand indicate each hours and half hours, according to the original model  (on the picture it is 4 o’clock). More than a watch, this creation is a jewel, destined to be carried with distinction.

SIENA is an italian city in Toscana who has been declared by UNESCO a World Heritage Site, which means that it is protected by the World Heritage Programme as an important part of the history of humanity to be preserved for years to come.

The Palazzo Pubblico is the town hall which is actually a palace, and the adjacent bell tower, called Torre del Mangia. The Torre del Mangia – a tower in Piazza del Campo built between 1325 and 1348.  The clock was put onto the tower in 1360.   

The tower and the Duomo were purposely built to exactly the same height to show that the Church and the state were equal in power.  The tower walls are around 11 feet thick and the stairs to the top are cramped allowing for one way traffic only.  Only 25 visitors are allowed up the tower at any one time.

About ANTOINE PREZIUSO GENÈVE

Tradition, complications, innovation: these three words underpin the work of Antoine Preziuso, founder of the brand ANTOINE PREZIUSO GENÈVE, which in 2018 celebrates thirty-eight years of independent watchmaking. From his studies at Geneva’s Ecole d’Horlogerie – where he discovered his calling – to the creation of the Tourbillon of Tourbillons (in close collaboration with his son Florian), Antoine Preziuso has always been inspired by three powerful values: respect for watchmaking tradition; mastery of major complications; and a constant quest for innovation in technique and design. It was Antoine Preziuso, for instance, who conceived the first watch entirely in meteorite: case, dial, buckle and hands in 2002.

Antoine Preziuso was born in Geneva, in prime watchmaking territory, but is also proud of his Italian roots. His twin origins help explain the identity of his timepieces, with irreproachable technical quality allied to striking design. He swiftly became a passionate restorer of old timepieces, attracted by the savoir-faire of master-watchmakers of the past, and by the attention they lavished on the quality of finish. His respect for watchmaking tradition finds concrete expression in the watches he designs. The very first watch made by ANTOINE PREZIUSO GENÈVE, back in 1991, already bore the Geneva hallmark!

Antoine Preziuso is internationally recognized for his mastery of major complications, which connoisseurs can admire under his own name or in his regular work for other brands. His workshop produces minute-repeaters and perpetual calendar watches, although it is above all the Tourbillon that dominates his attention: a complication combining elegance, technique and poetry that has reigned supreme in the art of watchmaking for over two hundred years. The Tourbillon’s fascination lies in the number and size of its components and the movement of its cage, which recalls the movement of the stars. The Tourbillon is also the favoured means for Antoine Preziuso to continuously improve the chronometric quality of his timepieces.

ANTOINE PREZIUSO GENÈVE is a family business. The passion for watchmaking, the love of uniqueness, of the luxury of good manufacturing that comes only from time and experience are values that Antoine Preziuso claims and shares with his family members. May, his wife, has always been at his side. She is a source of undying support, in all aspects of life, not unlike a watchmaking calibre component; her role could be compared to that of a bridge. Solid and reliable. Or, perhaps better yet, to that of a differential, harmonizing as best as possible the forces and equilibriums within this extraordinary family. Laura, their daughter, expressing her talent by combining jewellery and watchmaking techniques in a mechanical jewellery collection. She is also teaching at the Geneva School of Applied Art. Florian, their son, has followed Antoine’s path. That of watchmaking and its technical difficulties that haunt you until you solve them. He is now closely involved in all the company's new designs, and masters every aspect of R&D and production.
