Another luxury brand displaying its novelties at the Salon de la Haute Horlogerie Internationale is luxury Italian watch manufacturer Panerai, a brand that lavishly mixed remarkable Italian design with Swiss technology.
For this year’s SIHH, Panerai has designed a slew of four limited edition collaboration watches: watches inspired by the Italian Navy, the Italian sailing team Luna Rossa, outdoor explorer Mike Horn and finally, diver Guillaume Néry. So you can understand what the fuss was all about at the Swiss Salon.
And so, the Submersible Mike Horn Edition watch is inspired by the explorer and purchasing one of the watches grants the buyer with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience an outdoor training in the polar pack with none other than Horn. The latter has been a Panerai ambassador for over 15 years and the new timepiece pegs itself as a professional diving watch and ultimately, a contribution to safeguarding our planet. The novelty hence mirrors Horn – who is one of the greatest living explorers – with its toughness and reliability and innovative methods.
