Mr. Ferretti is a well known name in Panerai world. He lives in a place called Montecatini Terme near Florence, Italy. I had a possibility to visit his shop together with some friends and see all those rare pieces in his collection.

It was short but fantastic visit.

Not easy to explain how fun was to see all those beautiful watches all together.

I wrote the whole story and here is the link :

Visit to Ferretti's Shop

Looks like fun. I would have enjoyed that when I was into Panerai. He has a great reputation.

Fantastic report of a really special experience

I've met Mr. Ferretti on several occasions and each time he had "the" Panerai on his wrist... once it was the 2533

and the other time, a Radiomir with the classic "brevettato" text on the (top) bezel...

Great guy, a bit shy in English but I can pull off some Italian so it worked out ok

in Firenze...

in Venezia...

Thanks for reading the article.

Frankly speaking I didn't any single word of English from Mr. Ferretti during my visit. :)

BTW not only Panerai but he also has a lot of nice pices of the other brands in his safe like Rolex, AP etc..

While not familiar with the brand I enjoyed your writing and enthusiasm. A morse code device for divers. Wow!

Really liked your write up on the Duomo Cathedral, too. You shared pictures of things very few people will ever have a chance to see.

And the clock in the cathedral! How interesting.

Serdar, it is topics like this that enhance our enjoyment at TRF.

Thanks for sharing!
