At Tatler House, Panerai treated watch enthusiasts to an evening of horological discovery, hands-on craftsmanship and a taste of the brand’s exclusive maritime adventures
It was an evening where passion for precision met the art of Italian craftsmanship. Last night, Tatler House welcomed an intimate gathering of discerning watch enthusiasts for a collaborative soirée with Panerai, the storied watchmaker known for its bold designs, maritime heritage, and uncompromising technical mastery.
Against the elegant backdrop of Tatler House (which was essentially transformed into a Panerai-themed space), guests were invited to immerse themselves in a programme that blended horological discovery, fine dining, and insider storytelling. The night unfolded as a celebration not just of watches, but of the experiences, artistry, and communities they inspire.
No detail was spared in crafting the night’s atmosphere. Elegant canapés by Átipico showcased contemporary flavours and glasses were never empty, with wine and champagne flowing throughout the evening.

The Eilean Experience
One of the evening’s highlights was a sharing session that transported attendees far beyond Singapore’s shores. Tatler GMT editor Annabel Tan was on hand to describe what went down when she was onboard the Eilean, Panerai’s meticulously restored 1936 Bermudan ketch, during the brand’s exclusive Eilean Experience in Sicily. With vivid detail, she painted a portrait of sun-drenched days at sea, immersive adventures, and the unique camaraderie forged amongst fellow guests.

Hands-on horology
While the evening celebrated Panerai’s legacy and vision, it also invited guests to step into the shoes of a watchmaker. A dedicated watchmaking masterclass offered participants the chance to assemble intricate watch components under expert guidance. The quiet concentration in the room was matched only by the satisfaction of completion—each participant walking away with a deeper appreciation of the precision and patience demanded by the craft. Those who completed the session received official certificates, a fitting memento of their newfound skills.
