Part I: Lunch and presentation

Oct 08, 2010,06:47 AM
 

Lunch was then served on the second level. Before the meal, Antonius Kerssenbrock, Managing Director of Panerai for the region, made a short presentation on the highlights timepieces from the 2010 collection like the Jupiterium and L'astronomo.










 



The menu was creative and excellent. The chef, Michael Han, only uses seasonal and organic ingredients. Even the cola served was organic.

Two notable dishes were the potatoes and wild yams, served on cocoa soil (cocoa powder made to look like soil), and the beef cheek which was cooked for 40 hours making it so tender it was served with a spoon and fork only.

Nice Report!

Nice report SJX! The regional head wears the same watch as me! The 320!

and get the feeling you are a bit cynical toward Panerai's watches and/or watch making philosophy/practices. All their watches are huge (except the 42mm) and they all look about the same. The comments about the fans of Panerai knocking eachother down to g...

my post was meant to be a humorous commentary on certain stereotypes and habits associated with Panerai. - SJX
