"A simple gesture to stop time, to turn it backwards and to start it again"

Now-a-days everyone knows the importance of measurement of time in the world of the Navy, and finally there is an instrument to facilitate navigation: The Panerai Chronographs Collection. These make one of men's long-lasted wishes come true, the ability to control time. As the name itself states, chronograph is the combination of two Greek words: chrónos, time, and gráphein, to write; literally "to write time". Officine Panerai is searching for the best solutions for this issue, so navigation comes easier. A first attempt was in 1943 with the innovative creation of the "Mare Nostrum", a watch especially design for deck officers, but this was an extremely rare piece of jewelry, since only two or three pieces were produced. Now, eager to continue with tradition, Officine Panerai launches the collection of high-range chronographs which are, as the brand perfectly tells us "a simple gesture to stop time, to turn it backwards and to start it again".

The sixth and final model of the exclusive "Les Légendes de Bugatti" edition is achieved, together with a once in a life time opportunity.
One year ago, during the Monterey Car Week, Bugatti launched an exclusive model series named "Les Légendes de Bugatti". This year, the project culminates with an incredible finale; the world première of the last legend will be host on August 15th in "The Quail: A Motorsports Gatherin" and on August 17th in the "Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance".

The sixth model is a tribute to the founder and patron of the brand, Ettore Bugatti, and is based in the historical and iconic model Type 41 Royale.

As the character it honors, the sixth legend portrays everything is crucial for Ettore Bugatti, and his demand that an automobile be a perfect harmony of technology and aesthetics is the perfect definition for this out of space model. This re-signified Type 41 Royale epitomizes the main values of the brand: art, form, and technique, where all three of these elements perfectly blend together producing an aesthetical functional master piece.
