The collaboration between Panerai and the Japanese actor will raise awareness of the world of Panerai and its core values in Japan: “Panerai is a brand with a history and identity that has always offered its enthusiasts uncompromising quality. This is the same approach I take to my career. Only authenticity and passion can deliver real emotions,” commented Takashi Sorimachi.
