Panerai packs a host of high complications into the Radiomir 1940 Minute Repeater Carillon, which chimes the time, and offers a GMT function and a patented tourbillon escapement. The hand-wound skeletonized movement (P.2005/MR caliber) consists of 633 components; it's the most complicated timepiece ever built by Panerai. With two barrels and four days of power reserve, the 49mm watch displays hours, minutes, seconds, GMT indication, local time, home time and, on the caseback, the power reserve. The minute repeater strikes the hours, 10-minute intervals (not the typical 15-minute intervals) and the minutes past each 10-minute interval using three hammers and gongs in three different sounds. The chimes can be activated for local or second time zones. The patented tourbillon regulator, the result of four years of research, rotates once every 30 seconds. Customers can select case metal, strap, hands and more.

Founded in Florence, Panerai was not only a workshop, but also the city's first watchmaking school, helping to perfect and keep the craft alive under one roof. Equated with high quality, the brand supplied precision instruments such as naval combat sights and a radium-based powder that it developed to make the dials of instruments brighter. Panerai's Luminor collection continues to be a popular timepiece that remains radiant through its luminous Arabic numerals and polished steel casing.The brand's close ties with the navy also instigated the creation of the renowned instrument we know today as the Radomir watch, a high functioning timepiece that features manual mechanical movement, wire lungs and is water resistant. To date, Panerai has continued to support nautical activity, partnering with UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission last year to help promote the sustainable development of ocean sciences. This collaboration yielded The Submersible eLab-ID, a concept watch with the highest percentage of recycle-based material ever.
