    Hi Mark
    Panerai may be losing the Ferrari link. If so, wonder who will replace them.

    Hi Simon,

    That's interesting. I'm not a big fan of the Panerai Ferraris - the shape / design / style hardly moves me - so maybe that's a good thing.

    Richemont is owned by the South African Rupert family (current CEO is Johann Rupert) and their brands include:
    • Alfred Dunhill
    • Baume et Mercier
    • Cartier SA
    • Chloé
    • International Watch Company (IWC)
    • Jaeger-LeCoultre
    • A. Lange & Söhne
    • Montblanc (pens)
    • Panerai
    • Piaget SA
    • Template:Richemont
    • Shanghai Tang
    So it's likely that the Ferrai watch will remain "South African". The Ruperts made their billions in tobacco / cigarettes. Of late they have been cleaning up their act by buying top watch brands and moving away from the politically incorrect weed industry.

    Cheers, MARK
