Panerai Radiomir 8 Days Ceramic (PAM 384)

Although the PAM 372 (Luminor 1950), PAM 382 (Brozno), and PAM 386 (Luminor Composite case) seem to be getting most of the attention this year, there is much more to like in the 2011 Panerai lineup. For example, lets take a closer look at this new Panerai Radiomir 8 Days Cermic aka PAM 384. Part of Panerais Historic Collection (the brand has 3 broad categories for its watch Historic, Contemporary, and Special Editions), this is actually a limited edition of 500 pieces, with a hefty price of $14,700 each. My appreciation for this watch lies in its stealthy looking 45mm black ceramic case, its robust movement (the manual wind Panerai P.2002 provides an impressive 8 days power reserve), and a classic Panerai sandwich dial with date, small seconds, and linear power reserve meter. Also worth appreciating is the removable wire loop strap attachments for fast and easy strap changes (feature that is patented by Panerai). Lastly, as you can see below, the P.2002 movement is visible through the smoked sapphire crystal back.

    Taste and Soul: Macallan's 20 yr old scotch and Albert Watson's art

    Meghu22: Famed Scottish photographer Albert Watson features in the latest Macallans Masters of Photography series, wherein the Scottish whiskey makers are launching a limited run of 200 bottles ($1,000) that come with Watsons specially commissioned prints. Recently unveiled at Milk Studios in New York, the photos are a compendium of Watsons 12-day journey following Macallans oak casks from the forests of Spain to the Highlands of Scotland. An interesting collaboration to say the least, Watsons prints perfectly compliment the smooth and consistent taste of Macallan scotch. Via: Acquire / Coolmarriedguy
