After the release of the 2nd book we sent copies of our both books to Mr. Franco Cologni.
We received his following comment:

Dear Sirs,

I have just received your beautiful present which I appreciate a lot. These two books represent a very important testimony for Panerai and they are certainly a fundamental reference of the story of this brand. A true story that, also thanks to your job, is becoming legendary. In your books appears an emotion that it isn’t present in a lot of other books concerning watches: the passion.

With my best and heart-felt compliments!
Franco Cologni

Mr. Cologni served until March 2005 as Chairman of Panerai, the watch brand that Richemont had acquired in 1997 thanks to his intuition regarding its promising potential. He is currently the president of the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH).

We appreciate the FHH anti-counterfeiting campaign
« FAKE WATCHES ARE FOR FAKE PEOPLE ! ».
