I'm a little worried that Panerai is starting water down their design language-- the Luminor Duo looks like an abomination to me.

They of course have an option of the more dressy Radiomir models, but everyone that wants to get their first Panerai usually want the iconic crown guard. So the Luminor Due is the perfect watch for THAT person. Do the purists and long time fans of Panerai love it? Probably not, but they know they have buyers in us and the collectors so they have to also cater to the new customers out there and the market changes and what they are looking for. If they only made watches that would appease the small groups of loyal fans, they would not be able to make any money. They have to at least try and branch out and think of something outside the norm and get a share of every market. |
