Review by Liz W, From United States Hopewell

Between 1993, year of the first watch collection not exclusively made for military use, and 1997, year of Richemont's buyout, Panerai only produced a few hundred watches.

The set Panerai is presenting today is inspired by this period. Indeed, the Special Edition set (PAM000785) consists of of two models inspired by two of the most representative watches of the pre-Vendôme era. These two timepiece were ordered in 1996 by the American actor Sylvester Stallone, who was at the time involved in the film Daylight: the Luminor Black Seal and the Luminor Daylight. These two watches, produced
in limited editions of 500 units each, are now offered exclusively as part of the set. The box made of pear wood, also includes a model of a human torpedo as well as a publication on the military equipment of the Royal Italian Navy special forces.

The design of the new Luminors is faithully inspired by the 1996 original model. Both cases are made of stainless steel and measure 44 mm. Beating at a ryhthm of 21,600 alternations per hour, the two timepieces are equipped with a hand-wound P.5000 calibre executed entirely by the Panerai manufacture in Neuchâtel. While the Luminor Black Seal has a black dial with numerals at 3, 6 and 12 o'clock, the Luminor Daylight has a white dial featuring a numeric hour markers and a detailed minute track. Both watches have the small seconds dial at 9 o'clock. The brown leather strap is also inspired by the pre-Vendôme period. The Special Edition set includes two spare straps identical to the original and a screwdriver.

"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!"

I have been a watch enthusiast since I was a small boy, but since a decade or so, I am really passionate about them and read and learn as much as I can about watches. This knowledge and observations translate into articles I write every once in a while.
I noticed that I am someone that needs a bit of time to get used to new models or trends. It took me a few years to get used to the size of large watches and remember I laughed at the ridiculous Panerai dimensions when I first noticed them. After having owned several Panerai watches myself, I got used to watches that easily exceed the 40mm diameter size.
Hublot is a manufacturer of watches I also had to get used to. First, the Hublot MDM with rubber strap - Hublot was probably one of the first brands to introduce a non-diving watch with a rubber strap in 1980 - and later on the Hublot Big Bang. This time, it wasn't the size I had to get used to, but the high-end positioning of the watch (taking the former models into consideration) by Hublot and the whole look & feel of this particular watch. Also, the use of high-tech materials for their watches makes them a very progressive and interesting watch brand for many collectors. Big Bang is indeed the perfect name for this timepiece. Kudos to Jean-Claude Biver, who has put Hublot (back) on the map of haute horlogerie. In a recent copy of Revolution Magazine (also distributed by WorldTempus), Jean-Claude Biver is even referred to as being 'the reference in high watchmaking'.

Having that said, the only thing that worries me is the number of limited editions the brand is launching every year. True, they are limited in number of production runs, but there are a lot of different limited editions. The market is probably in demand for limited editions, so consumers are able to distinguish from each other. Launching limited editions just for the sake of being limited is something that I can't get used to I guess.

One of the recently introduced limited edition Hublot watches has truly a reason for being limited. It is the Hublot Aero Bang Morgan watch, limited to 500 pieces. This watch celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Morgan car company. The Aero Bang Morgan watch is inspired by the Morgan Aeromax car. The production of this hand-made sports vehicle is only limited to 100 cars. The lucky owners of one of these 100 cars get priority for the first 100 Aero Bang Morgan watches to be able to get a matching number.

The Aero Bang Morgan has a case made out of ceramic and a steel-gray tungsten bezel, both materials that are very durable and used in the (racing) car and aircraft industry. The Morgan logo shines proudly on the dial at 9 o'clock, while it doesn't detract from the skeleton dial that reveals only a bit from the automatic winding chronograph movement. This movement - like in all Big Bang models - also features a tungsten rotor.

The caseback of the watch is made out of black ceramic material, as you can see on the picture above.
Now, besides being a bit reserved towards limited editions, the same goes for watch - car alliances. I never understood the IWC - AMG, Breitling - Bentley or the Jaeger-LeCoultre - Aston Martin cooperation for example. The same thing goes for the cooperation between Hublot and Morgan. Does Hublot really identify them selves with Morgan? Or did Morgan 'need' a watch to celebrate its 100th anniversary and wanted to offer something special for its customers? What exactly is their relationship?
Cooperation like this shouldn't leave room for guessing why the brands started a joint venture in my humble opinion.
As much as I do like the watch, I wouldn't pay premium because of the Morgan logo on the dial. Perhaps I would if I owned a Morgan Aeromax sports car, or when I am able to tell why the relationship between Hublot and Morgan is so close other than initiated because there was a fruitful encounter between Charles Morgan and the reference of high watchmaking, Jean-Claude Biver.
Don't let this small remark hold you back from doing a price inquiry for this watch at your Hublot dealer.
