The Italian press when made aware of the Officine PANERAI take over by Vendome / Richemont, wrote an article which its title translated reads, OPERATION PANERAI
This photo here (MAI 1997), from achieve, shows from left to right:
Colonel Engineers Dino Zei (CEO Officine Panerai 1973-1997)
Joseph Kanoui (President of the Vendome Group)
Dottore Engineer Bruno Lattini (1990-1997)
Franco Cologni (Vice President of Cartier International)
This is a piece from the very day that Officine Panerai Firenze (Horology Division) otherwise know as PRE-VENDOME PANERAI (horology division) was handed to Officine Panerai (Vendome)
Personally, from the wall on the back of this image, (and I am one of the honoured lucky guy to have been in that room) you can fell and tell where our watches came from. Shame I do not have a 360 degrees image to make you understand further what I trying to say.
Great image for your collection.
