Officine Panerai has chosen Shanghai for the only international staging of “Time and Space: a Tribute to Galileo Galilei”, the exhibition in which Officine Panerai puts a range of the most important watches and instruments from its own historical and contemporary collections on display. The show, taking place at the Shanghai Sculpture Space and open to the public from 20th to 31st May 2011, culminates with the exhibition of the “astronomical” triptych made by Officine Panerai as a tribute to Galileo Galilei, on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of his first celestial observations.
Having premiered in Florence in September 2010, the exhibition comes to Shanghai in a version enriched by the Officine Panerai 2011 collections, and explores three stages. The first is that of history, which uses select pieces from the Panerai Museum to trace the development and establishment of the Panerai brand, from its roots as a Florentine workshop to preferred supplier of precision instruments to the Italian Navy.
The second stage covers the brand’s international fame following its acquisition by the Richemont group in 1997: a large room displays the most symbolic timepieces of the 14 years in which Officine Panerai renewed the former glory of its iconic watches, the Luminors and Radiomirs, quickly developing a complete range of movements designed and produced in-house in its Neuchâtel factory. This section also features a selection of watches from the latest Officine Panerai collection, including models with the new hand-wound mechanical P.3000 calibre and the Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Bronzo – 47 mm.
The third stage is a tribute to Galileo Galilei, the genius to whom Officine Panerai, celebrating its shared Tuscan origins and love for science and innovation, has dedicated an “astronomical” triptych, formed from three exceptionally complicated models: L’Astronomo (Luminor 1950 Equation of Time Tourbillon Titanio – 50 mm), Lo Scienziato (Radiomir Tourbillon GMT Ceramica – 48 mm) and the planetarium clock Panerai Jupiterium.

Taking the lead in the protection and promotion of classic yachting culture for many years, Officine Panerai invites all enthusiasts to visit the new website of the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge, the most important international regatta circuit reserved for classic and vintage yachts, sponsored by Officine Panerai since 2005: www.paneraiclassicyachtschallenge.com is now online, and is set to soon become a reference point for access to this charming world full of adventures.

Through video clips, images taken by famous specialised photographers and a wide range of constantly updated information, the new Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge website recounts and illustrates the beauty and the spirit of the competitions that every year, from April to September, see the most beautiful sailboats built over the past century, and in some cases even earlier, challenge each other to a race.

The different areas of the site explore all nine regattas that form part of the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge schedule. This year’s schedule takes in Italy, France and Spain, where the PCYC Mediterranean Circuit takes place; England, the venue for the prestigious Panerai British Classic Week; Antigua, the opening stage of the season and leading classic regatta in the Caribbean, and the United States, with the tradition-rich waters of New England set to host the PCYC North American Circuit.

For all owners and fans of Sloops, Cutters, Schooners, Ketches and Yawls, there is a special classic boat archive section with a simple, user-friendly search engine that provides technical and historical information about the protagonists of the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge meetings, explaining also the difference between the main sailboats with the help of images. The archive, one of the most comprehensive in existence, includes over 300 “ladies of the sea” and is being constantly updated.

Another section of the website is devoted to the Special edition watches that Officine Panerai creates every year in honour of the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge. For the 2011 regatta circuit, Officine Panerai has created the Luminor Submersible 1950 Regatta 3 Days GMT Automatic Titanio – 47 mm, a professional underwater watch, water resistant up to 30 atmospheres (approximately 300 metres), fitted with a rotating bezel with graduated scale to calculate dive duration and a hand indicating the second time zone.

The Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge website is currently available in Italian and English and will soon be available also in French.
