Spearheading The Watch Sale from Fellows, poised to take place on 30 January, is an extremely rare Panerai Radiomir military diver’s watch acquired from a World War II German soldier in Holland in 1944. Accompanied by a hand-written account from the British serviceman who retrieved it, the Panerai is expected to fetch 30,000–40,000 GBP when it crosses the block.
Singer rocked the watch world earlier this year when it revealed the Track1 Chronograph, a revolutionary take on the classic sports watch directly influenced by the philosophy of the California company’s fabulously restored Porsche 911s. Employing the expertise of designer and former head of design at Officine Panerai, Marco Borraccino, and Agenhor’s Jean-Marc Wiederrecht, the Track1 Chronograph is aesthetically inspired by the sports chronographs of the 1960s and ’70s, yet it incorporates an innovative central-stem chronograph movement that’s been in the works for 10 years.
