Introducing: The Radiomir 1940 Automatic In 42 MM, And Three Other New Releases From Panerai
Panerai came storming out of the gates at Watches & Wonders 2015 in Hong Kong. Not only did it release a long awaited piece in a slimmer, more constrained size while upgrading its hardware, but it also upgraded a few other models in its Radiomir lineup – be they simple timekeeping pieces or haute complications. The Radiomir 1940 3 Days Automatic ¨C 42 MM (PAM 620) This watch has been anticipated for some time. In a sense, it may even have been overdue given the seemingly simple combination of precursory features that consumers had petitioned for after seeing them individually scattered among other releases. We saw a great 1940 Radiomir in the PAM00512 back in 2013, which measured 42 mm and sported the in-house manual P.999 with 60-hour reserve.Last year, when the 1940 went automatic, the size went up to 45 mm – and when the price decreased to [a negotiable] four figures, the diameter didn't follow.

what's with men and their.....
I was at a Ball last night and got a chance to sit beside a managing partner of a company that deals with persian rugs. He is probably in his early 60s already and he shared with me about his 'taste' for watches.He has probably some 12 watches, Rolexes, Chopard, Cartier...the really high ends one. But he told me that all his watches are bought by his wife and to him, he never really think a watch mattered. In fact, he would rather have more cars than watches!!! So my question to all men out there, why cars but not watches? is it because cars are bigger and hence you can 'show it off' better? But I always think watches complement the whole you, be it professional, sporty or naughty! I am sure I will get response, since there arent many ladies I know here. Have a good sunday!
