Radiomir: The origins of Panerai began when Giovanni Panerai opened the doors to his watchmaker”s store in Florence, Italy in 1860. In addition to being a shop and workshop, Giovanni Panerai”s establishment was also Florence”s first watchmaking school. In the early 20th century, Officine Panerai was already a supplier to the Royal Italian Navy–an exclusive relationship that would span decades and be a great source of inspiration and innovation for the company.
In 1916, Officine Panerai filed a patent for a substance dubbed "Radiomir", a luminescent material based on radium. Twenty years later, Panerai manufactured ten prototypes for the divers of the Royal Italian Navy – a model that would later be known as Radiomir, named after the patented material invented by Panerai.
