Panerai Segment on "How it's Made"

In case anyone missed it - I think the show was mentioned in the Rolex forum - Panerai was featured in this program on the Science Channel.

You can probably find a repeat of the show on your cable box.

Pretty cool process. From Case to movement to assembly. The watch featured was - I will get the watch series wrong - but the 312
-esque PAM on bracelet.

Sorry...a bit US centric.

Looks like you can buy the episode for $2 USD

I found it on Youtube, but it was pulled for copyright infringement.

Uh, it's on Youtube fellas.

Part 1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=namj9CES-TE

Part 2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNcf5o9N3WA


I was glad to see my 359 there briefly.

Also a great note - it claims that Panerai pressure tests to 410 yards (375 meters).

Discovery did a great job. Panerai, plans to expand 20 plus stores in China in the coming years. They are building there brand and expanding there reputation. I assume tge production numbers will rise.
