surfer2278 0 Posted July 3, 2011 The Science Channel had a show on the making of watches. The brand selected is Panerai. Apologies in advance for poor video quality. Recorded using a Galaxy Tab, because I have no idea how to export it from a DVR. Hope you find it interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AustinTech 0 Posted July 8, 2011 Very cool find! Lots of machines involved, which is a good thing for precision, especially in regards to water resistance. I like Panerai a little more now because they weren't too snooty about letting someone film their manufacturing process. And damn those 328's are classy.

KeNnY 29 Posted July 8, 2011 I like that machine for hands ! Also Oris has the same ! You can see on video if the hands are not catching. Maybe a great mod I will do at home with spare camera.. I will make me an program with overlay and I will see if the hands have optimum space between them ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pamelo 0 Posted July 8, 2011 Nice video. Clear enough. Looks like the precision is computer-generated. Wonder how it's done in China? Probably all manual labor. Labor costs are high in Switzerland (Italy for Pam?). But the mark up must be huge, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
