The register, counted around it
The register's Italy cohort runs to nineteen — the second-largest national group here — and it is one. Its stablemates here are Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Piaget, Buccellati, Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and two more — nine Richemont houses in all. By founding year it is the 27th-oldest of the hundred. Haute Horology holds eighteen houses here, and this is the 17th of them. Haute Horology in this register runs from 1735 to 2001, with a median founding year of 1862; Panerai is two years older than that median. Either side of it the register lists No. 56 TAG Heuer and No. 58 Zenith.
