Panerai’s personal tribute

Officine Panerai salutes their brand’s original technique with the August release of two entry-level Radiomirs. Turning back the dial a few years, when Radiomir watches were function over frills, Panerai has launched the Radiomir Logo 3 Days PAM00753 and Radiomir Black Seal Logo 3 Days PAM00754. In the business of making watches that work, the PAM00753 is only filled with the time and two hands, while the PAM00754 includes a small seconds counter at nine o’clock proving a timeless signature will never go out of style.

Moët Rosé’s unusual re-return

Moët & Chandon and South African chef Ash Heeger set the summer tone to come with an unexpected meat and champagne pairing.

In an interview, the chef had this to say, “There’s a new school of thought that says that rosé Champagne also pairs beautifully with red meat. A really interesting combination is how well Moët Rosé pairs with meat dishes, especially beef and venison”.

Moët Rosé is no stranger to a day affair, with a crisp fruity hue and elegant maturity it’s also a drink to keep in mind for a dinner party.
