Only three weeks after the exciting day at the Geneve S.I.H.H., where we
were able to meet the CEO of Panerai, Mr. Angelo Bonati and other kind
people from the Panerai headquarter in Milano and also central europe,
kind Mr. Marcel Roessner, who is our »connection« to Panerai, another
highlight next to the 2003 collection waited for us, the paneristi community:

For the very first time Paneristi meets Club Panerai, the italian enthusiasts
invited us by Piero Lapiana from clubpanerai.com to join their 3rd meeting
during an exhibition of the Premio Internazionale Artiglio in Viareggio/Lucca.
Try to find the right words, but it is hard. You just have to see all the great
pictures, made mostly by Frank »P61« and some of amici Samuele.
I hope this following report can give a small look of that what we did in these
four wonderful days at the beautyful mediterranean seaside.

Also even the same pleasure was for me to meet people like Bernardo, the
former invisible man behind his shirt cuffs and his unbelievable collection,
also again Dirk and the italian collectors, of course Mario Paci, former
engineer of Panerai and the legendary veterans from the Xa Mas, the
famous Emilio Bianchi in person and other important people from the
history of Panerai, known only before from the books - this time all »real!«

Repeated words for Piero: Grazie, tutto bene!
