Panerai Luminor 1950 3 Days Automatic Hong Kong (PAM00618)

I bought this watch for my teenage son. It is a heavy watch, well- made and the price was wonderful.It looks very expensive. He had some links taken off and wears it on special occasions. A real winner!

Panerai Radiomir 8 Days Men's Watch PAM00197

This Panerai watch combines classic style with quality for an accessory that looks great with casual wear or something a bit more dressy. The stainless band is substantial yet feminine and the face has a nice texture that adds another element of interest.

With its timeless design and the sophisticated technical solutions created by the new Manufacture in Neuchâtel, the Radiomir 1940 is the main focus of the new Panerai collection presented at Watches & Wonders 2015.

It is the calibre P.1000, a new hand-wound movement with a power reserve of three days, which powers the new Radiomir 1940 3 Days, available in steel or red gold with
a diameter of 42 mm. Unmistakably Panerai in their design and respect for the company's historic characteristics, the two new models have sizes and features which make them the ideal choice for all enthusiasts looking for a watch with pure lines but a b personality, versatile and suitable to every situation.

The new P.1000 calibre is entirely made in the Panerai manufacture in Neuchatel. The movement features a large brush-finished bridge covering the major part of the wheelwork and a bridge with two supports firmly holding the balance, which oscillates at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour). Thanks to the two spring barrels connected in series, the calibre has a three days power reserve, a requirement which has been part of the identity of the brand since the 1940s, when the Florentine watchmakers Panerai decided to use Angelus calibres with a power reserve of eight days for the watches supplied to the Italian Navy. Its commandos had to be able to count on an instrument with reliable timekeeping which would not be subject to wear or leaking as a result of frequent rewinding.

The new Radiomir 1940 3 Days also has the system for stopping the balance which operates in conjunction with the device for zeroing the seconds hand: when the winding crown is pulled out, the balance wheel stops and the seconds hand, rotating in the classic subsidiary dial at 9 o'clock, is moved back to zero, so that the watch can be synchronised exactly with the reference time signal.

The case is water-resistant to 10 bar (a depth of about 100 metres) in the polished AISI 316L stainless steel version and to 5 bar (about 50 metres) in the gold version. The latter is made of 5NPT red gold, the special gold alloy used by Panerai, which has a high percentage of copper, as well as a small amount of platinum which helps to prevent the precious metal oxidising.

The sapphire crystal of the porthole on the back of the new Radiomir 1940 3 Days enables the construction and finish of the P.1000 movement to be admired while the polished bezel frames the classic Panerai black dial, with large bar markers and figures. In the steel model (PAM00574) the alligator strap is coordinated with the light green of the Super-LumiNova, while the model in red gold (PAM00575) is supplied with a black alligator strap.
 
 

Hear what you see
We hit a horological high very early in the day with the presentation of the new A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk Minute Repeater, which is designed around the principle that you hear what you see. Since the digital time display jumps instantaneously, but the striking mechanism can take up to 20 seconds to strike out the time, A. Lange & Söhne decided to delay the jumping of the discs in the event that the pusher to operate the minute-repeater function (which consumes less energy than a conventional slider) is actuated shortly before the discs are due to change. So you always hear the time that is displayed on the dial. Other distinguishing features of this new piece are the non-circular shape of the gongs, the fact that the hammers strike the decimal time (to correspond with the decimal display on the dial) rather than the traditional quarter-hour repetition, that they do so in an inward rather than outward direction and that a new mechanism deactivates the striking-work if there are less than 12 hours of power reserve remaining - one of six different patents registered with this new model.

Read more about the new A. Lange & Söhne models on Wednesday here on WorldTempus.

British bling
Backes & Strauss are going all-out to capitalize on their British heritage. Famous London names are used for timepieces that showcase the very best in precious stones, as evidenced by the new Piccadilly Royal Blue model, which is set with 245 diamonds in 10 different cuts for a total of 37.6 carats. Versions using coloured stones will follow soon thanks the cooperation between Backes & Strauss and Gemfields. My patriotic heart started beating a little faster, however, at the sight of the special gem-set version of the Berkley watch, with its Union Flag stone setting.

New base movements, new manufacture movements and new Portuguese models from Schaffhausen
IWC has a busy couple of years ahead as it prepares to open an entirely new manufacturing facility in Merishausen, on the outskirts of Schaffhausen. Three new movements will be produced at the factory: two base calibres (the 42000 and 69000) and a new 52000 manufacture calibre, all presented at today for the first time. But the focus for 2015 is on the 75^th anniversary of the Portuguese collection, which has been entirely revamped with everything from a hand-wound eight-day model right up to a with a minute repeater and perpetual calendar.
Read more about the new base movements from IWC tomorrow on WorldTempus.

Panerai presents Carbotech^TM
The Florentine brand focuses on the Submersible derivatives in its collection this year with versions in titanium and a new material called Carbotech^TM. This is a fusion of single-ply carbon fibre and layers of the high-end polymer PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone), which binds the composite material, making it even ber and more durable. The value of a prized mechanical movement is seen in the new limited edition Mare Nostrum model, featuring the brand's OP XXV calibre, which is based on the Minerva 1322 base (see title image above). At a price of 37,700 euros with a titanium case, the added value from the movement is considerable, particularly compared with Radiomir 1940 and Luminor 1950 models presented with a new equation of time movement. These complicated models can be yours, in steel, for less than half the price.

The new boutique is divided between two floors with a total area of 125 square metres, with ample space for both a traditional sales area and a more reserved space for collectors and customers wishing for an even more exclusive and dedicated service. The boutique overlooks Rue du Rhône with its large central window and the two side windows.
The design is that typical of Officine Panerai boutiques, in which forms, colours, and materials contribute to creating a simple and sober environment, characterized by Italian style and taking its inspiration from the sea, thanks to the use of materials like teak wood and steel, port-hole shaped windows, and sinuous furniture elements. Within the Geneva boutique, just as at the Panerai boutiques all over the world, customers can find the whole range of Officine Panerai collections.
" - commented Angelo Bonati, CEO of Officine Panerai. ".
The Officine Panerai boutique in Geneva is the first in Switzerland and the thirteenth in the world. It goes to join those already opened in Florence and Portofino, Madrid, Los Angeles and New York, Buenos Aires, Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong, Tokyo, Doha and Dubai.

"We are very excited for Cuervo y Sobrinos because this provides additional prestige and profile to the brand," says Reza Liaghat, owner of Casa D'Oro Jewelers in Mars, Pennsylvania. "It's great for them and it's great for us."
 

Cuervo y Sobrinos's managing director Massimo Rossi explains that in addition to the new boutique being a "tangible witness to our history and heritage…we wanted to be the first mono brand watch store—and, generally speaking, the first luxury mono brand boutique—on the Cuban island." Certainly an important element since it appears the island may soon have the most enduring trade embargo in history—between the U.S. and Cuba—lifted.
"Visitors to the boutique are certainly Cubans who want to know more about the history and—particularly—the present of the brand as well as foreigners who somehow expect to find Cuervo y Sobrinos in La Habana, considering that the brand was created there. Havana is for us what Paris is for Louis Vuitton or Florence for Panerai," the head of the Lugano-based brand boasting a new factory continues.
 

Cuervo y Sobrinos, whose main markets have always constituted the Americas, has yet to break into the "mainstream" of European watchmaking circles. "By creating the boutique, we create a bridge from the past before the Cuban revolution to the present and also to the future. Watch aficionados and consumers interested in our unique brand now have a tangible platform from our history. The boutique in fact also includes a museum exhibiting the main milestones of our history," reports Rossi.
Donald FitzHenry, the brand's U.S. president, promises visitors to the museum a trip back in time. "They will understand how we have blended the vintage feel and presence of the brand with the best of modern watchmaking," he says.
"Beautiful craftsmanship, unique presentation, and a compelling story," exclaims John Keil of Maddaloni Jewelers in Huntington, NY referring not only to the history, but also the brand's one-of-a-kind delivery in humidors. "I cannot wait to go to Havana!"
