VIDEO: Panerai’s Radiomir 1940 3 Days Acciaio PAM 00514, is this a PAM for a more ‘mature’ man?

When I told a Panerai-loving friend that after years of looking only at the Luminor I was starting to favour the Radiomir, he wasn’t at all surprised. “It’s called maturity,” he said. While that seems unlikely, there is definitely something more refined and self-assured in the smooth, uninterrupted lines of the Radiomir’s cushion case. Something perhaps more versatile and classic in its application, too; a man for, if not all, then more seasons? Whatever the case, the reasons for choosing the Radiomir as your next Panerai extend well beyond its considerable aesthetic charms. The Radiomir — as I discovered in the video that explores the contrasts in Panerai’s two main collections — tells the lion’s share of the brand’s interesting history, despite the younger, more muscled and glamorous younger brother getting the limelight. This review of the PAM 00514 Radiomir 1940 should help acquaint you with more of the details that make the watch special in its own right.

Pre-Baselworld 2018 – Anonimo Epurato Bronze – a Toned-Down, More Elegant Take on the Florentine Style

For those who are familiar with Italian brand Anonimo, they know that if the design is clearly easy to recognize, it is not what can be called “subtle elegance”. Large, sporty or even clearly military-inspired, Anonimo’s watches are on the tool-ish side. For Baselworld 2018, a hint of sporty-chic Italian lifestyle will appear in the collection, with the new Anonimo Epurato. Smaller, more refined but still very much Florentine, meet the brand’s new chic timepiece.
