PART II: Cocktail event at the Panerai NYC Boutique

 

Guests begin to trickle in at the Panerai NYC Boutique on Madison Ave.  A vast majority of the people tonight are new faces and are attending their 1st PuristS event.  All photos below are posted in chronological order, so you get a better feel of the order of events.

Panerai North America President Rafael Alvarez is showing various Panerai's to this couple.  The lady seems to be intrigued with the beauty of Panerai and seems to be attached to this particular Panerai.  I didn't get a close look of which Panerai model she had strapped to her wrist, but I think the deadly Panerai virus started flowing in her veins that night! 

Everyone's having a great time including these 2 lovely ladies from Panerai's NY marketing office - Elizabeth (left) & Lindsay (right).  What beautiful smiles!!

New friendships are being formed as fellow PuristS introduce themselves to each other.

 

The wait staff bring out plenty of hors d'oeuvres throughout this cocktail hour.

Everyone's trying on the new SIHH 2012 watches on his/her wrist... 

This PuristS is listening intently to Rafael explaining the new P.3000 watches. 

Rafael is explaining the PAM396 Ceramic Tourbillon to these 3 PuristS. 

They keep marvelling at the 30-second tourbillon spinning around   

This PuristS is looking at his posed wrist shots in front of the mirror.  Buying a watch is like trying on a new pair of shoes!  Does it look good on my wrist?  Yes it sure does!


Hmmmm....which one looks better - the PAM372 or the PAM422? 


The cocktail reception is over and Rafael makes his brief introductory speech. 

More continued in Part 3.

Cheers,
Anthony
