In one aspect, the Panerai.....

tradition hasn't changed a bit: the size of their..first shop. From the cubicle like shop+laboratory, Giovanni Panerai opened on the Ponte delle Grazie in 1860, to the cubicle like one in Piazza San Giovanni (which was widened only recently). From the telephone booth's size in Portofino to the claustrophobic, hole in the wall of Milano (recently widened too) to the present "pint sized" Rome one, Panerai doesn't make a...splash. It starts in true...understated...fashion (less is more) much like the quintessential models that have helped her grow organically. Brava Panerai

Time is a dream city for watch collectors. So many small, interesting vintage dealers, as well a historic ADs. All with such style. The area of the city where the Panerai boutique is located is absolutely top for shopping, people watching etc.

Thanks for your words! [nt]
