118 August 2012 BTM marketplace Strength in Innovation ASIA JEWELLERS If a handshake says a lot about a person, an individual’s watch can tell you so much more. Officine Panerai collections allow you to do just that! For a statement timepiece look no further than Officine Panerai’s new and unique watch — Tuttonero. Stylishly designed, it boasts a Luminor 1950 case and the classic Panerai bracelet in ceramics. Made entirely of matt black ceramic, this watch makes an extraordinary aesthetic impact on first glance. The beauty of its design is enhanced by its faithfulness to the Panerai identity, as it is constructed using only the most advanced technologies in the field of materials. The Tuttonero Luminor 1950 revels in matt black, which is found in its every detail. Matt black can be found in the Luminor 1950 case with a diameter of 44mm and the lever device protecting the winding crown. Even the dial, which is of sandwich construction, is matt black. Like the numeral and hour markers, the four hands are covered with ecru Super-LumiNova, which ensures excellent legibility even in the dark. The automatic mechanical movement — P.9001/B calibre — includes a power reserve of three days, date, second time zone, zero reset seconds hand and power reserve indication on the movement; all of which is visible through the sapphire crystal on the back. The bracelet Uncompromising in its style, the Tuttonero bracelet too is made entirely of matt black ceramic. The links are formed and finished by the same processes as the case and then attached to a PVD-coated brushed steel buckle. Every individual link is asymmetrical and possesses curved surfaces that enhance the overall soft nature and effective performance of the bracelet. The design of the bracelet itself is the result of lengthy research dedicated to preserving the fluidity of the piece. The ceramic touch Something so unique is definitely the result of a complex series of working and finishing processes. All of these procedures are necessary in order to acquire the particularly uniform and even appearance of the Tuttonero, as well as the high degree of hardness. The ceramic used by Officine Panerai is a synthetic material based on zirconium oxide powDer. It is five times harder than stainless steel and is resistant to not only scratches and corrosive agents but high temperatures as well. The Tuttonero is available at Asia Jewellers in Moda Mall.
