Panerai's first and only Watch Accessories Room is where visitors can renew their timepieces with the expansive collection of watches, bracelets, buckles and more. 

When it was first founded in Florence back in 1860, Panerai was originally a workshop, shop, and school of watchmaking — one known for supplying the Italian Navy with precision instruments. Generations later, the luxury watchmaker has garnered a high repute for timepieces that blend Italian design flair with Swiss horological expertise. Amidst its current success, Panerai looks back to its roots with the unveil of its first worldwide Watch Accessories Room, located above its Canton Road flagship boutique in Hong Kong.

The Concept of a Watch Accessories Room

Panerai’s first worldwide Watch Accessories Room aims to create a wholly one-of-a-kind shopping experience for watch aficionados. Inside a contemporary yet welcoming space, customers and collectors are invited to discover the Panerai universe first-hand. Designed for the viewer to visualise their custom design, sliding panels allow for easy comparison between different leather straps. 

The Decor of the Space

Celebrating its 10th anniversary, Panerai’s Canton Road flagship is known to be the watchmaker’s largest boutique. The impressive interior facade is made of undulating aluminium panels accentuated with an iconic wall clock in the form of an oversized Panerai dial. Above the boutique is a private space dedicated to Panerai's Watch Accessories Room. The room is decorated in oak and burnished brass fixtures with a distinctive, decorative Torpedo display sat in the centre of the room to nod to the Italian Navy heritage of the brand.

The Largest Assortment of Panerai Accessories 

Guests can expect an incredibly wide range of accessories available — including up to 670 different straps and bracelets, and a full range of buckles. The highlight of the space is definitely the interactive strap display, where visitors are encouraged feel for the accessories available, exploring the full aesthetic and functional potential behind the brand. Guests can mix and match their personal watch collections with the accessories in store, to see firsthand how the different colours and materials fit with their timepiece, for a truly one-of-a-kind piece.

To adapt to the fast-changing landscape of our day and age, covid-19 being part of this, auction houses have had to swiftly change their strategies to keep up with how to best connect with their clientele. From changes in the nature and scope of artworks offered, to shifts in timing of their sales, every auction house has responded differently.

Of all the heavyweight auction houses, Phillips is the first to present an online auction which includes all categories that are traditionally separated into individual sales. Titled Refresh:Reload, the mix of collecting categories is enticing at the very first glance. Curated in two complementary parts, Refresh embodies a more lighthearted and romantic aesthetic, bringing together colourful and fun contemporary artworks such as works by Katherine Bernhardt and Genieve Figgis along with elegant jewellery and timepieces by jewelers such as Graff. The second part, Reload, will unveil cutting-edge jewellery and watches presented alongside fresh, trend-setting art, editions and collectibles, with the standout piece being a KAWS x Ikepod Horizon Watch. Phillips’ response has been almost exclusively digital – “our global Spring calendar this year is made up entirely of online-only sales and we have seen strong participation already.” According to Delissa Handoko, Head of Online Sales at Phillips Hong Kong, they “have seen a great deal of cross-category collecting as collectors’ tastes continue to evolve globally.” Perhaps this sale, then, will be the answer to collectors' concerns as auction houses and art galleries turn to online solutions.

Refresh:Reload includes 180 lots and selected highlights will be exhibited in Phillips’ Hong Kong Gallery (by appointment only) and bidding is currently ongoing and will close on May 28^that 6pm HKT. The entire collection is available to browse on their website.

Swiss watch manufacturer Breitling is throwing its weight behind the global effort against COVID-19 through an initiative aimed at raising funds for health workers.

The brand has just introduced a second special blue-dial edition of its Superocean Heritage 57 II dive watch, limited to 1,000 examples, whose rainbow-coloured hands and hour markers replicate the symbol used in the ongoing campaign in the UK in support of the heroic efforts by members of the country’s National Health Service.

Having already donated to health-related charities in countries hard hit by the pandemic, using funds raised through the first special edition of the watch that was launched in April, Breitling has pledged a further 1,000 Swiss francs (almost HK$8,000) for each of the first 100 new timepieces sold through its website. In total, the Swiss manufacturer aims to raise 500,000 Swiss francs, which it intends to be split between health charities in France, Italy, Japan, Spain, the UK and the US. Breitling also hopes to raise more funds by encouraging its retailers to join in with the charity effort.
