To be held 9 - 13 March 2010, the Dubai International Boat Show will play host to 12 global premieres and at least 25 regional launches by some of the most famous manufacturers in the leisure marine industry.
Speaking on Panerai's involvement in the show, Mr. Angelo Bonati, CEO, Officine Panerai, said, "The Dubai International Boat Show has become a must-attend event on the Dubai calendar and attracts a vast number of marine enthusiasts and sea lovers; therefore it provides the perfect platform for Panerai to share our passion for the sea and showcase our innovative and timeless creations."
The luxury Italian watch brand's involvement in the show is a natural extension of the brand's rich heritage. In the 1930's Officine Panerai became supplier to the Italian Navy of sophisticated, high precision devices for underwater military use. Panerai instruments were immediately distinguished due to their exceptional characteristics exploiting a degree of technology that at the time was groundbreaking. Amongst the multitudes of ideas and instruments realised, a special range of watches was created specifically designed for use in extreme and highly risky conditions.
"Officine Panerai is a natural partner to the Dubai International Boat Show, with its 150 years of nautical heritage," said Helal Saeed Almarri, CEO, Dubai World Trade Centre. "The Dubai International Boat Show provides the ideal platform for international companies such as Officine Panerai to showcase their latest products to a high-level visitor profile and build strong business relationships across the region."
As a 'Supporting Partner' of the show, Panerai will have a presence in the VIP Majilis, with sophisticated display towers featuring selected pieces from its collection of Panerai watches. The lounge will be dedicated specifically to VIP's attending the show in an enriching and inspiring atmosphere.
"Panerai has always had such a strong affinity to the sea and their timepieces are revered by luxury connoisseurs across the world for their technical innovation, design and craftsmanship. The Dubai International Boat Show is a draw card for people seeking high end products related to the marine industry; therefore this is an appealing platform for existing and potential Panerai customers. The fact we have the Panerai boutique at Dubai Mall presents a tremendous opportunity to showcase some of the collections at the VIP Majilis at the show," commented Mr. Mohammed Abdul Magied Seddiqi, Vice President, Sales & Retail, Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons.
The Dubai International Boat Show 2010 will take place at Dubai International Marine Club - Mina Seyahi from 9 - 13 March 2010. The show is open to trade visitors and general public, from 3pm - 9.30pm daily.

About Officine Panerai:
Founded in Florence in 1860 as a watchmaker's shop, workshop and school, Officine Panerai was for many years the official supplier of precision instruments for the Italian Navy, mostly for the underwater special corps. The projects developed by the company at the time, including the Luminor and Radiomir watch - were covered by military secret until 1997, when the brand was purchased by the Richemont Group and launched on the international market.
Officine Panerai is today the only Italian fine watch making company, developing and producing its own calibres and watches - a blend of Italian history and design with Swiss craftsmanship - in its own manufacture in Neuchatel, Switzerland. Panerai watches are distributed worldwide through an exclusive network and in the Panerai boutiques in Florence, Portofino, Madrid, Dubai, Doha, Los Angeles, New York, Buenos Aires, Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Tokyo.
