The first dedicated Panerai Boutique is opening in Al Hamra next month and on that occasion Panerai have released a special edition watch that features an engraving of Al Hamra Tower on the back along with the word “Kuwait”. The Kuwait edition Panerai will be limited to just 80 pieces and they’re pretty much selling out as soon as they arrive. The one I spotted at the Panerai dealer in Salhiya (Behbehani luxury store) was already reserved for a customer. I don’t post prices of watches online but I thought the asking price on this model was fairly reasonable for a limited edition PAM.

A Kuwait edition is pretty cool. Panerai and IWC may look understated but I love the look.
And how much does this cost?
Price?
I suppose its a case of if you have to ask the price you can’t afford it…
Its an amazing time peace that i personally loved it .. And Mark .. your invited for the opening 🙂
You post and compare prices of Hot sauce + shipping + tax in Kuwait vs Amazon – so why not for this watch?
Logic please
Has nothing to do with logic, it’s personal preference.

It’s not that special, for most cities there is a special edition model from Panerai.
There is one for Paris, Miami etc etc.
A special Panerai is likes of the Bronzo, Marina Militaire etc etc.
It’s special for Kuwait because it’s a Kuwait edition in the same way the Paris edition was special to the French.
Sorry, I don’t see anything special in this watch. In fact, it looks tacky. I’ll stick to Patek Philippe.
No idea why you would mention Patek in your comment, the two brands aren’t even in the same price league.
I just checked, it’s around 2000 KD. Not worth it IMO.
Very, doesn’t look that luxurious
lol 🙂
Luxurious doesn’t means gold and diamonds only 😉 Especially for watches.
If you want jewellery get Mont Blanc or Cartier watches but if you want real luxurious watches you must buy Panerai or IWC Schaffhausen.
+1
Throw in a unique complication or a tourbillon and THAT’S a real luxury watch.
I think better name for it is Al-Hamra Edition
yup….
Mark I’m so sorry to have to say this, but since you have become a full time blogger, the quality and interest factor of your posts have deteriorated largely.
I agree!
No need to be sorry. I don’t expect every post to interest everyone. Some people will like what I post others won’t, I know that.
when is the opening?
I think September 5th
It’s super interesting to note how Panerai aficionados in Kuwait are enthused about a Garrett popcorn or Cheese Cake factory opening as they are about Panerai opening shop here in Kuwait.
Now that’s what I call mixing luxury and gourmez with a twist (popcorn and cheese cake, yikes!)
With all do respect to everyone: collectors and watch fanatics will mostly appreciate this piece of art. Any boutique edition is unique to that country, even if they have the same one for 50 other countries.
Peace out, sir.
Wore the Watch on Thursday at the boutique and i agree with u mark for its price i beleive its worth it, though ppl may see it that its not, the watch sits comfortable on the wrist and at 1400KD and being a special edition its rathar nice.
in the end going to pay a depsoit for one soon 😉
