Post by nweash » Sat Apr 25, 2020 12:26 pm

My first reaction when I saw their new tron watch has “70 years warranty” on the case back.

Very cool. And yes, Tron is/was seriously cool. But $19 grand for a day-glo Tron watch?

It has a 70 year warranty because they built the next 7-10 services into that price.

Have to agree with this. From one of the hottest watch companies in the world to a joke in just a few years...

Panerai CEO Jean-Marc Pontroué is staying true to his roots.... he did the same thing when was with Roger Dubuis

The question is who was it that looked at his previous job at RD (does anyone even buy those) and said let's give him Panerai?

I just can't believe Panerai jumped the shark like this. For a long time, they were far and away my favorite brand. Then came a million models in the range, reissues of supposed LEs/SEs, snap-on casebacks, and then this. Dang.

Yowza, that is really something Nick ! 70 Years?!! :o ..Amazing !

Have to hand it to Panerai, their quality is evidently out of this world.
Plus it does look like they are trying some different things which is
cool to see imho. Hadn't seen these to be honest. Thanks so much ! :thumbsup:

It’s a prime example of poor leadership and lost vision.
