A complementary report on Panerai at SIHH 2008

written by Lars Milsten on Paneristi Public Forum would also enjoy all PuristSPro. There are also lot of pictures.

His comment concerning Minerva and Panerai

"Now to my absolute favorites of everything that Panerai has brought to the table this year.
The 2 titanium 47mm Radiomirs with Minerva movements. Pure and simple!! (Richmont group has bought Minerva)
Absolutely magnificent!

Produced in 150 pieces, 100 with black dial and 50 pieces with brown dial, these watches epitimize what Panerai is all about. No historics this year?!?! These two watchs are very much historic. And what most of you do not know is that there actually is a historic connection between Minerva and Panerai.

When the Panerai family business owned the Orologeria Svizzera in Firenze they produced watches, albeit pocket watches, and the movements in these watches were produces and supplied by.......Minerva. Reciept from the 1920's confirm this.
So the connection is there. A connection to the history and the roots of Panerai?? You decide. But I think so."

Sorry, I do not succeed in pasting the link.

THANKS LARS FOR YOUR REPORT.

Best regards,
