Heard of Officine Panerai? They’re an Italian watchmaker who plays in the luxury – not the high-end, mind – segment of the market with Jaeger-LeCoultre, Hublot, Cartier, Rolex, Breitling, Omega etc. They recently organised an evening at the residence of the ambassador of Italy in New Delhi for the watch connoisseurs, and we have pics from the event attended by Delhi’s high society, courtesy of the brand, of course :-)
