181. A SURPRISE GESTURE AND AN EXQUISITE GIFT...

I dropped by a couple of Friday ago at my auntie’s place in Bangsar KL. Just to deliver her Omega watch which I helped to restore and to bid farewell to her and the family before they head home to Shanghai.

We had a chat while waiting for my uncle to come back. He was somewhere in town clearing a few last minutes matters.

These days my conversations with Mak Teh are mostly centred on watches and watches. She has a passion for watches too but her love for genuine antiquities surpassed everything else.

 In pursuit of her antiquities passion, she has travelled to many nooks and corners in Malaysia and the world.

We were still at the conversation when she said she had something to hand over to me. Something she bought from her recent trip to Dubai. Actually, I consider her as a globe trotter. In the course of discharging her international duties, she is constantly on the move around the world.

While she was away fetching ‘that something’, I was wondering what it could be except perhaps a wrist watch to add to my collections.

She brought back a small box and handed to me and asked me to open. Without hesitation, gleefully I opened the box. 

Wow, what a nice one. Out came a glittering skeletal gold plated pocket watch. I had never own a pocket watch before though my pa possessed a few priceless collectibles.

Never mind the brand... the gesture that counts. After all, it was my birthday week. So, I consider this gift as a fitting birthday present.

Thanks Mak Teh for such a gorgeous gift.

I’ll cherish the moment and this special gift for the life time.

SELAMAT HARI RAYA TO YOU, PAK TEH, AIMAN, SARAH, ARIFF AND ADAM.

WE WILL MISS YOU AND THE FAMILY AGAIN THIS HARI RAYA...MAAF ZAHIR BATIN and take care.

History of Panerai

Panerai was founded in 1860 in Florence by Giovanni Panerai (1825–1897). It later became the official supplier of the Royal Italian Navy and expanded to building precision instruments.

The company is famous for its Radiomir and Luminor watches, notable for their use by Italian commando frogmen, who relied upon their Panerai wristwatches to execute the sinking of Allied naval vessels in WWII.

The Florence-based watchmaker produced wrist worn diving instruments and about 300 watches, all for the Italian Marina Militare, between 1938 and 1993. By that time, the company ceased to provide watches to the Marina Militare, as they were no longer cost-effective nor did they meet the naval specifications.

It then moved to launch its products to the civilian market, but remained relatively obscure until the actor Sylvester Stallone spotted and bought a Panerai Luminor in a jewelry store in Rome in 1995 to wear during shooting of the film Daylight.

Stallone ordered a small batch of such watches with his signature on the case back, called Slytech. He offered them as gifts to friends, including Arnold Schwarzenegger. The watch gained rapid popularity, and Officine Panerai was eventually taken over by Richemont in 1997.

It should however be noted that the original Panerai were fitted with Rolex movements as worn by the Italian command frogmen. At auction and in the collectors market, some of these older models, particularly those produced in the 1940's and '50s have fetched high premiums.

Recent fashion changes and Panerai's success marketing large watches has also led other companies to introduce larger watches.
