During the final quarter of 2025, Panerai held a Watchmaking Masterclass in Manila wherein VIP clients and select media members were invited to disassemble and reassemble a Panerai movement. Watch Manila’s Atty. Sieg Suarez was invited to take part in this event. Carlos Da Costa Saraiva, Customer Service Director of Panerai, led the Masterclass.

The guests each had a Caliber P.3000 to dismantle and reassemble. At the end of the session, the guests understood better the amount of effort it takes in assembling a Panerai movement. More importantly, the guests enjoyed the experience of becoming “watchmakers for a day”.

Lesley Co, Managing Director for Panerai for Southeast Asia and Oceania, presented the Maison’s novelties for 2025. Panerai presented the low-key but highly complicated Luminor Perpetual Calendar GMT Platinumtech (PAM 01575). This watch features a GMT, a perpetual calendar (which can be set only via the crown without need for other pushers), and a power reserve indicator among others. The casebook has indicators for the month, year, and which sequence it is for the leap year. The Submersible Quaranta Quattro Marina Militare (PAM 1697 and 1698) featuring a steel case and a Carbotech case, respectively, were also standouts.

Panerai is available in the Philippines through its boutiques located at Greenbelt 5, Makati City and The Watch House, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.
