A LARGE book, fitting for a Panerai...
When you think of a 'coffee-table' book, large and impressive, you are thinking of a book the size of this book on the equally impressive-sized watches, derived from diving watches. Simple, stunning and beautiful as the subject, this book will make you love your Panerai wristwatch even more. Here are photographs in vivid detail, beautiful shots and historical information...

A Coffee Table book with little new information and few pictures.
This is a huge heavy book--your typical "coffee table" book--in size. The good news--it provides an adequate history of Panerai, with some interesting pictures to accompany the text, pictures of the major players in the company, pictures of the various sea-related pursuits the watches were originally intended for, over the course of the many decades that Panerai has...

When you think of a 'coffee-table' book, large and impressive, you are thinking of a book the size of this book on the equally impressive-sized watches, derived from diving watches. Simple, stunning and beautiful as the subject, this book will make you love your Panerai wristwatch even more. Here are photographs in vivid detail, beautiful shots and historical information on the brand. This is my favorite watch photography book by far!

This review is from: Panerai (Hardcover)
This is a huge heavy book--your typical "coffee table" book--in size. The good news--it provides an adequate history of Panerai, with some interesting pictures to accompany the text, pictures of the major players in the company, pictures of the various sea-related pursuits the watches were originally intended for, over the course of the many decades that Panerai has operated, and a few pictures of a few watches, and their parts over the years. Here's the bad news--it isn't worthy of occupying space on your coffee table, or your book shelf for that matter--there just aren't enough PICTURES to make it worthwhile. You can do a web search for "Panerai" using the engine of your choice, click on "images" and you will see more and generally as good or better pictures of the various Panerai watches that have been produced since the company's inception. I love Panerai watches, and currently own two of them. I frequent various watch forums on the web, and am always eager for more information, and more "eye candy" (pictures of Panerai watches). This book was an incredible disappointment--a complete and utter wasted of money. The text is really too short to stand alone as a good historical piece, and the pictures are too few to be of any real significance to anyone. I hate to say this, but you can see more, and learn more, just by going to the Paneristi site and looking at their photo threads. Why waste your money on this book?
