amanicoWhen I first saw the new Radiomir 1940 Chronographs ( Ref 518: Platinum / Ref 519: Rose Gold / Ref 520: White Gold ) I immediately wondered if it could be seen as the dign heir of the holy monster Mare Nostrum, the " Madre " of all the Mares... PAM 518: PAM 519: PAM 520: The Mare Nostrum prototype: The Mare Nostrum Pre Vendôme: The Mare Nostrum Vendôme, PAM 300: Well, all is in the name of this Chronograph: Radiomir 1940... It cannot be another thing than a fiction, and certainly not a Mare, for two reasons. .....">Story

cazaleaI was fortunate yesterday to be able to represent PuristSPro at the La Jolla Concours d'Elegance, and to enjoy gracious hospitality as a guest of Panerai. It was a special day for me; I have lived in this area of Southern California most of my life, and knew many of the cars (and their owners) on exhibit, but had not been to an event with watches in the mix. It was a unique experience for Panerai as well, because they primarily sponsor events in yachting regattas, and had not been to an automotive concours. .....">Story

teofftI was inspired to take and post these pictures after reading about the Montres Passion magazine annual watch awards where the Panerai 1940s' case won 3rd place. This particular watch is special to me since it's part of a 2 watch set (PAM784), and I share the other watch in the set (PAM398) with my wife. On top of that, it has a rare factory typo, with and extra "e" engraved in "steeel". I was sent the original corrected case back, but i opted to keep the erroneous one on the back as it felt more authentic .....">Story

MichaelCFor some time now I have thought to speak about the remarkable PAM372. I purchased mine in November of 2011 from the incredible Chad at the Beverly Hills Boutique. It has been worn many times over that period and has performed flawlessly. It is a very accurate timepiece as well...">Story

pingtsaiThe PAM244 Luminor GMT – A Perfect Panerai for Women An On the Wrist Review By: Ping Tsai It takes a special type of woman to wear a Panerai Luminor. Not your typical ladies watch, the Luminor takes an expansive willingness to be different even when the size of your wrist is restricting. Over the years I’ve witnessed a number of them grace the wrists of distinguishable ladies with strong and confident personas. Mostly they were wives and partners to faithful Panerai fans at watch dinners and gatherings, including .....">Story

KIHPerhaps this is an old news - Jupiterium was announced at SIHH 2010, but it finally came to Tokyo (June 7 - 12). Here is the report for those who missed it when it came near you and those who are in the area + some 2013 Novelties were also presented. The venue - In Roppongi Hills, where I live relatively close but not familiar with inside, thus naturally I got lost for 15 minutes. Normally this is a cafe...">Story

AnthonyTsaiThe Panerai PAM508 Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Ceramica Submersible from SIHH 2013 is an evolution of the PAM305 Submersible. I posted an extensive PAM305 review several years ago, so if you're contemplating adding the PAM508 to your collection, please be sure to review my PAM305 review ( CLICK HERE for my PAM305 review ). PAM508 in black ceramic The original PAM305 in titanium The main difference about the PAM508 compared to the PAM305 is that the case and bezel are made out of black ceramic ... ...">Story

AnthonyTsaiThe next watch I'm writing about is probably a watch that I know some of you wished did not get released - the 47mm PAM507 Bronzo Power Reserve Submersible. The PAM507 is the younger sibling of the PAM382 Bronzo Submersible which debuted 2 years ago at SIHH 2011. The PAM507 is the same identical watch as the PAM382 but with the addition of an off-centered power reserve indicator on the dial at the 4:30 position. Why did I write in my opening sentence above that some wished this PAM507 never existed? It's .....">Story

AnthonyTsaiThe next piece I want to highlight is the Panerai PAM526 Luminor 1950 Regatta 3 Days Chrono Flyback Automatic in a 47mm titanium case. What is fantastic about this PAM526 Regatta is that this year's Regatta is actually a functional watch you can really use at the Regatta - the PAM526 actually countdowns the time in minute intervals! Prior yearly version of the Panerai Regatta pieces were usually just Panerai's with a blue colored hand, and Panerai labeled it as a "Regatta" model for that year. Retail price on the PAM526 is $18,800, and 700 pieces will be made this year. Anticipated launch is September; but you know with Panerai, if they say September, it won't come out till many more months later...">Story
