Part I: Lunch and presentation
Lunch was then served on the second level. Before the meal, Antonius Kerssenbrock, Managing Director of Panerai for the region, made a short presentation on the highlights timepieces from the 2010 collection like the Jupiterium and L'astronomo.
The menu was creative and excellent. The chef, Michael Han, only uses seasonal and organic ingredients. Even the cola served was organic.
Two notable dishes were the potatoes and wild yams, served on cocoa soil (cocoa powder made to look like soil), and the beef cheek which was cooked for 40 hours making it so tender it was served with a spoon and fork only.

I do Panerai and do like the watches, but you are right
my post was meant to be a humorous commentary on certain stereotypes and habits associated with Panerai. - SJX
Thanks for the report SJX
So when are you going to get your 1st Panerai? Resistance is futile! Cheers, Anthony
