Entirely developed and produced at the Panerai Manufacture in Neuchtel, the movement has the date, the classic small seconds counter at 9 o'clock, the mechanism for stopping the

The assemblage is visible on the front of the watch, with the
balance wheel beating away on the lower left and the gear train--which transfers power from the barrel to the balance--arranged on a single plane to the right.
Meanwhile, the watch collection being showcased at the exhibition are new inventions that have special features such as big
