A few to appreciate only by a few...
My Man Asi, what a pleasure to see that sort of catalogue again.
If I get some time, I will scan the original First catalogue handed only to dealers '1997', I have it in French and in Italian and it include what 'Vendome' saw and portrait the Panerai watches, 10 more years down the road, it is amassing to conclude that they had it all worked ahead, they knew precisely what they had and what it will become.
What I also find interesting and this is despite my disbelief that it could be achieved, is that current Panerai does mostly away with its Military background, for sure they will remain connected with our oceans and sailing seems to be their flagship. Of course Panerai has a huge history but they rather go with the easy tides which I now agree is so much easier to handle.
In all, Vendome_Richemont are doing unbelievably great for a brand that was only recently once only a secret to all.
