DEALER'S NOTES

In 2007, Officine Panerai launched the P.2005 movement, a sophisticated
hand-wound calibre with an innovative interpretation of the tourbillon
regulator, distinguished by a simple but revolutionary insight which
makes the movement unique.
The traditional regulator rotates the balance escapement assembly
continuously on itself, to correct position errors caused by gravity and
possible friction: this is a particular problem with pocket watches,
for which the tourbillon was invented, but it also affects wristwatches.
In the innovative Panerai tourbillon, however, the cage which contains
the balance and escapement rotates on an axis which is perpendicular to
that of the balance, rather than parallel, and it rotates once every 30
seconds instead of the traditional 60 seconds. This construction
compensates for running errors in a more effective manner and thus
provides more accurate time measurement.
The tourbillon regulator, in its elegant and spectacular P.2005/S
skeletonised version, is the protagonist of a timepiece of very high
technical content: the Pocket Watch Tourbillon GMT Ceramica, a model
which pays tribute to the long history of Officine Panerai. The pocket
watch played a part in this history at the end of the 19th century, when
the Orologeria founded by Giovanni Panerai in Florence displayed on its
shelves numerous examples of these watches created by the main Swiss
makers.
Officine Panerai presents the Pocket Watch Tourbillon GMT Ceramica, an
exclusive pocket watch which combines echoes of the past and the
innovative technical content of contemporary haute horlogerie in an
original and fascinating way.
The Pocket Watch Tourbillon GMT Ceramica consists of a Radiomir case 59
mm in diameter in ceramic made from zirconium oxide, inside which is the
P.2005/S hand-wound movement with tourbillon regulator.
The comprehensive work of skeletonising reveals the sophisticated
technical details which distinguish the P.2005/S calibre: the three
spring barrels which create a power reserve of six days, readable by
means of an indicator mounted on the back of the watch; the various
finishes of the components, a large proportion of which are blackened by
galvanic treatment; and above all the characteristic Panerai tourbillon
cage which, to compensate better for running errors due to gravity,
makes two rotations per minute on an axis perpendicular to that of the
balance.
