This guy has done better marketing for Panerai in 20 minutes than Panerai themselves have done in the last few years

the guy is so charismatic and he really loves what he does. This was the best marketing for Panerai in the last few years. Completely agree with you
Easily the best and most informative interview I have seen on WatchBox. Mike Horn is both humble and a truly exceptional explorer. Panerai would be hard pushed to find a better ambassador. You can't help but value his opinion.
Thanks Watchbox for organizing this interview with such an inspirational person. However, my feedback to the interviewed would be to really polish up on his skills - show appreciation for some of Mike’s achievements and don’t just jump through your questions. Good job guys!
Without exaggeration a modern Captain Cook equivalent as a modern man could ever achieve - on each intellectual and philosophical level. The watch itself is magnificent by every measure . Somewhat unfairly on my part- the history of Panerai has been tough to feel comfortable with - Mr. Horns history with the brand changes this for me - the watches designed for Mr. Horn by Panerai are important as they move the history of the brand forward in a very meaningful way and bring a fresh perspective - a striving to capture the positivity and growth of the human spirit - expanding the idea of the quintessential mechanical tool watch in idea , function and purpose. A Fantastic vision for the brand . This was a high quality program that was an unexpected opportunity and pleasure. Thank you to both gentlemen. All the best to Mr. Horn - . 👍.

Love Mike Horn. Should follow him on Instagram. Glad Horn was talkative cause the interviewer isn’t super polished but asks good questions.
Nice, it makes me want to buy a Panerai

Nice interview, Thanks Panerai!!! Looking forward to Mike Horn’s next adventure. #mikehornexplorer
Bad Ass Mike Horn. Respect!
there is some negative attention towards panerai but ive loved the design since seeing them in arena magazine in my teens in the 80s. i will ignore the naysayers and add one to my collection very soon. im sold.
cool video, Panerai did well getting this guy.
Great interview
❤Thank you!
Wow. What an impressive man! If this watch is good enough for him..........
Mike was sharing his experiences and ideas, nd the interviewer is looking down at his cards to jump at the next question! Sad..
[4:16] "ah hahaha" (interviewer) - 👌 He who laughs last didn't get the joke 😇
I shall buy that watch.
"that's great" is usually what I say when I'm not really paying attention.

The Bear Grylls with a huge monster watch!
He tried to help the issue of environmental destruction by producing yet another consumer product, thus compounding the impact on the environment. Good job Mike. He (may have) had the right intent but went about it the wrong way.
Interesting guests, congrats on his achievents. I dont think he can save Panerai. They need a miracle and less special editions.
I hope the interviewer found another job after this video. Like a telemarketing job, would suit his attitude well
The interviewer sounds like a guy who's to polite to get out a conversation with someone on a long flight.
Mike Horn is an Exceptional guy,can’t say the same about the interviewer,pretty poor performance.
HIS watch crossed the poles. It's unlikely anyone else's will tho.lol.
Tim should have handled this interview
G-Shock.
How is this better than rolex explorer 2 ?

1) Given the crown guard and crystal thickness, I would say that it is more robust. 2) It is lighter. (Made from Titanium and no metal bracelet). 3) it has 300m Water resistance (not 100m). 4) It has 72 hour power reserve (not 48 hours) 5) It has a rotating bezel 6) It is actually worn by a real explorer. 7) It has lug holes/screw bars for quick strap changing. 8) It has AR coating on the crystal (like real tool watches should) How many reasons do you need?

This was a 20 minute interview, and you don’t notice. I’m sure Mike’s time was limited and they had to cover lots of ground.

U are missing the point here " Panerai start their first watch design make for brave man during war time to perform some very dangerous mission" Where Mike Horn in the present day similarly took up countless life threatening exploration beyond most human dare to challenge " So to me, panerai did right on promoting featured all these brave human with right mind having same kind of spirit & mental relate to the brand was intended "

This is the best marketing, because this guy is utterly devoid of BS. Everything he uses is purposeful.
