Thank you very much Ken for this report.....really like the....
Video, the music, the animation, the surreal "Hollywoodian" atmosphere it creates almost like if Vlad would suddenly appear and goggle up or destroy all those cogs and pullies and the planets too in its rage
Well done and entertaining.
I would definitely be a purchaser of a Radiomir 40mm, I really love the design of the lugs and the case! But, I think that I must be in a very small minority and such a wrist watch won't be produced. Pity...for me
Cheers

Panerai 2013 Novelties in Tokyo + Tribute to Galileo: Jupiterium
Perhaps this is an old news - Jupiterium was announced at SIHH 2010, but it finally came to Tokyo (June 7 - 12). Here is the report for those who missed it when it came near you and those who are in the area + some 2013 Novelties were also presented. The ...
Great report! The Jupiterium mechanism looks familiar ...
.. as it is very similar to Ulysse Nardin's "Planet Earth" that was launched in 2010. I would not be surprised to find Ludwig Oechslin as the genius behind the Jupiterium's construction. Regards, Marcus

I still can't shake off...
... the idea that they don't need to be that big... :-) I have a small wrist and 34mm Dufour is actually really nice size for me, LOL. Thank you! Ken
I think that Panerai may be loosing an important....
segment of the market with their "over sized" watches only! I don't think that the design would lend itself for watches smaller than 38mm but again, perhaps it would, 40mm would I think be an ideal size for an important section of the market in my opinion...
Thanks for the great report Ken
Maybe we'll see an in-house perpetual calendar watch someday using the known how from this Jupiterium? As a long time Panerai fan though, I've always wondered why Panerai made this Jupiterium. This stars and astrology doesn't fit in with their connection ...
Perhaps...
... Panerai wanted to remind people that it has Italian origin... and in 1610 he found the satellites of Jupiter, which happened to be 400 years before the announcement of Jupiterium in 2010 at Basel....? Anyway, other than its name, there is very little ...
Hey Ken, great rundown...
... I want a Jupiterium! Maybe the coolest clock ever. - Scott
Hi Ken, nice report and great video. I would like a
Jupiterium in my living room, but I would need to paint the walls black and then put in all the supporting constellations! I still think Panerai really excels in the style department and once indulged, you simply must go back for more... Best, Tim
Had always wish to see this one in reality
After i left Japan they finally brought it in. Lucky you Ken! But thanks for the amazing coverage, as always! That must have been one stunning piece of an astronomical clock! I have been increasing my own interest and knowledge in astronomy, so this actua...
Yup. It somehow took three years to arrive :-)
... my guess is that they MAY be thinking of selling ONE out of THREE. They don't need three forever, do they? Just my guess.... :-) Ken
My pleasure....
... what a brand to deal with, though :-) I am glad you like the report! Thank you! Ken
