Panerai Luminor 1950 8 Days Rattrapante Watch In Pink Gold

Panerai will release a new pink gold limited edition Luminor 1950 watch (ref. PAM00319) with manually wound movement with 8 days of power reserve as well as a split second (rattrapante) chronograph. An all gold Panerai like this is pretty rare, and it uses the Panerai manufacture made P.2006/3 movement. The movement is manually wound with an 8 day power reserve (shown on the linear power reserve indicator scale). You also get the split second 30 minute chronograph that Panerai always knows how to cleanly integrate. In order to keep the case looking simple, the chronograph pushers are on the left side of the case.

The watch case is 47mm wide in pink gold done in a brushed finish. The bezel however is nicely done with a polished finish to show off that Panerai dazzle. It is certainly blingy for the Italian brand but still goes along with the character they seek to preserve. The rich brown colored alligator strap has a pink gold buckle. You can see the interestingly made movement through the sapphire caseback, and the watch is still a Panerai being water resistant to 100 meters. Only 300 of the watches will be made and the price will likely above $20,000. A nice looker, certainly a Panerai in all respects, and likely to be a hit with collectors.

Pair of 1950s French Bergere Arm Chairs

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

This pair of French Bergere Arm Chairs from Pieces strikes me as a strange mix of understated and bold. Newly upholstered and freshly painted to look a bit worn, you can bring a bit of history and 1950s culture into a room as well as a dose of mood brightening color.

The pair isn't mass produced so you take the mandarin color as is or you don't take it at all. I'm not usually one for orange, but if it could always be in lighting like this then I might change my mind -- that chair is totally glowing! Get the pair for $3,360.
