Martin... im blowen away

Jan 24, 2011,05:43 AM
 

by the QUALITY pics  you've gone FAR in catching the details of each photographed piece...  ill comment on the watches which rang my bell  as i dont want to come over each and every single piece .

 IM AMAZED heavily by the beauty of the 382 your pic are light years better than the press pics .. the idea of BRONZO was hummm to me but seeing the live pics and imagining how each watch can devalope it own patina this means a story of each behind each watch look... now how seductive things can get?!

 372  no underestemation  took place from press pic  but again seeing the live shots ... i love the sober vintage look of the watch...vintage yet SO alive  just wish if the dial was painted ...

 375... although i got SO excited about it when i saw the press pics , but now ill say : FIDDY what thye've done to you ... based on the live shots of  this watch " and no the photographer is not in anyway the reason"... its just that Fiddy which i know is AN ALIVE watch..  but this one.... reminds me of black and white movies when they wanted to show africans in the movies they just painted a european actor in black- in Fiddy's case its chcolate- " and no it never worked as it always was obvious the man or lady is no africano" .

 

 lets hope that my thoughts will be back to the excited point by seeing more and more live shots and thinking of the watches charachter over and over will help me have  aclearer image .

 From pics i can see that the LUMINOVA of the 356 is more of a 360 lum!inova .. more vintage  than  others used on 372 ,376,375... your input on this , if you please since you saw the watches LIVE .

 Thanks For the pics  and report .

 Faisal

My SIHH 2011 Panerai report...

 
 By: Martin Wilmsen : January 24th, 2011-02:04
Hi everyone, here's my SIHH report. Huge thanks to the Panerai staff on site for all the help and support. And for allowing me to make a mess of the GMT room with all my gear. And for letting me keep the watches too long while others were waiting... Congr...  

Thank you Martin! Appreciated as always!

For sure, there are a lot of things to say and to look at, this year. I'm preparing my topic about these novelties, too, but it takes a lot of time to write it and to think about it. It was a pleasure to read yours! Best, my friend. Nicolas;

Gorgeous pictures & presentation

1) You have to see the 375 in person. The dark composite case is very hard to photograph because it "eats" the light so to speak. It's nicer in person than it is in (my) pictures. 2) The color of the luminova of the 356 is akin to that used on the 360. I ...

love the Panerai 2011 lineup, but with you photographing the timepieces really brings out the best of the watches, i'm drooling...wow... great work as usual, both artistically and factually! love the PAM375 so much but with it being LE and a composite fid...

After your photo report, I think I have finally decided. For me, while I like the 376, I think I will stick to if I have to get one , 382, then 375. 382 and 375 for me that's all.

GREAT Report.

Nice photos as always. Regards, ED-209

Upon second though

I am gald that you posted this report after the SIHH because it probably would have caused me to order several rather than just one Panerai's. Your pictures are so great and really do justice to the watches. If you and Jocke combined forces, we would all ... 

What a tour de force...

 
 By: Ornatus-Mundi : January 24th, 2011-22:49
congratulations on this report and the excellent pics. You managed impressively to highlight the individual characteristics of each Panerai. May I ask you to describe/depict your photo set up? Cheers, Magnus

Great write up Martin.....

Thanks for the report. Not everyone has the opportunity to get to the exhibition. Due to such excellent report as he would have been there. Thank you.

The PAM 372

 
 By: MWL : January 25th, 2011-03:27
Is beautiful. Simple, clean, bit of vintage thrown into the mix. However, I'm torn between that and the 375.

Me 2, I am going for the 375 and 382.

I finally had the time to read your fantastic report today. I've been out sick for the past several days along with tons of work that piles on quickly if I don't resume my daily work So I guess it's safe to say that Panerai SIHH 2011 is the year of the pa...
