Where to go ?



There it is



At the Ferretti Boutique
Montecatini Terme.



The first thing you see, when you go in the boutique is the Panerai safe box, here with my daughter Ella and son Calvin.





Mr. Ferretti and his assistent, Simona, was very gracious and told us with great passion and detail on many of the Panerai effects.



































Going downstairs again
My wife Vigga took all the pictures




Vintage !!! Ref. 2533. Year 1937.









My son really liked the prototype ref. 2533.







The other Ref 2533 prototype. Year 1937.





Mr. Ferretti drawn and told, about the prototype and why it was rejected. It was because of the material choice, the dial was bent after a while.














Egi prototype......



Now a line up of the usual suspects








Another prototype with a case that not was good enough for the high demands at the time.





A beautiful "Kampfschwimmer" 3646. Year 1938.









A comparison picture with my 372 and the 6152. Year 1950. Almost same case







Another beauty 6152-1 from year 1948.







Next line up










I can not say it strongly enough, but this boutique which Mr. Ferretti opened last year is an experience unparalleled for the real Panerai fan.

Very very beautiful

45 minutes flew away, nice to be able to enjoy this passion with the family while I have had an experience I'll remember the rest of my life

Thanks again to Simona and Mr Ferretti for your kindness and time.

Grazie mille !!!




And now the photographer, my lovely wife Vigga, donīt you think, she made a good job ?



I realized afterwards that I in just excitement had forgotten to take my glasses on. I have to remember them, when I enter the Panerai Boutique in Firenze.


Now some fast pics from Lucca















Next trip, back to Firenze, this time also with a visit in the Panerai Boutique


Thanks for looking.
