I always wondered about the proper pronunciation of Panerai. That and how to say Tourneau.

Trying asking an Englishmen how to pronounce 'bath'.

In the south it's bar-th.
In the north it's baa-th.
In America it's shou-er.

sounds better when someone from italy says it but then again we sound better saying cheeseburger so its a trade off

Some say it's pronounced like this "pan - err - ray" (to rhyme with lingerie). I think the correct way is "pan - err - rye". What about Officine Panerai? Try this "off - itch - een - eh, pan - err - rye" Better leave it to the Italians to pronounce it correctly. If you want to hear a true Italian pronounce it listen HERE

hahahahha the audio is a shit,if you can tell me how i can send you the audio i will do for sure :)

So what does PAM stand for? Or is it just model nomenclature?
