"Courtesy of Panerai Adding to your watch collection can be fulfilling, but achieving actual nirvana is not necessarily what you expect when you buy an expensive new timepiece. This year, however, Panerai brought a handful of fans a little closer. The Italian brand has bundled experiences with (very) limited edition watches for a while now, taking devotees to train with Navy SEALs or sail with the Luna Rossa racing team."
"In March, a lucky few Panerai collectors who got their hands on the Submersible GMT Titanio Mike Horn Experience Edition got to explore this mysterious landlocked nation as part of the deal. Joined by Horn himselfthe South AfricanSwiss adventurer and explorer is a Panerai ambassadorparticipants spent several days hiking through the southern foothills of the Himalayas. I got to join them. Why Bhutan? Because Bhutan is breathtaking, in both senses."
Panerai bundled a limited-edition Submersible GMT Titanio Mike Horn timepiece with an immersive hiking experience in the Kingdom of Bhutan. A small group of collectors travelled to Bhutan in March and spent several days hiking through the southern foothills of the Himalayas accompanied by explorer Mike Horn. The itinerary emphasized acclimatization and physical effort because Thimphu sits over 7,600 feet above sea level and air is thin. Roads follow valley bottoms and steep slopes often require travel on foot, leading to centuries-old hilltop Buddhist temples that demand strenuous ascents and offer dramatic vistas.
