End of an Era and here's to a Fresh Start

Jean-Marc Pontroué the Ceo of Panerai since past 7 years exits making way for new Ceo Emmanuel Perrin.

Lets have a healthy unbiased discussion of your personal opinion of Panerai regarding the last decade and expectations from the brand.

I personally feel the guy has done a decent job and other than the in-house movements issue and non hacking few crazy 'experience' watches but overall the brand has done well in terms customer service and recognition. The experience at a Panerai boutique is so much nicer compared to any other watch brands.

Regards to future I hope they bring back solid genuinely in-house movements, and focus mainly on the watches themselves keeping both purists and new buyers happy.

Also please use this thread as an excuse to share your collection and passion for Panerai :)
