The Florentine watchmaker announced the renowned wildlife photographer Marlon du Toit as one of its ‘newest friends of the brand’.
An enviable life spent on safari, exploration and adventure has led Marlon to merge his passion for wildlife with his career goals of being one of the most acclaimed photographers and safari guides.
His adventurous life counts so far 11 countries and almost 40 national parks as he captures timeless imagery of beautiful animals such as lions, leopards, elephants, tigers and jaguars.
New Luminor Due watches showcase the evolution of the species
As a professional safari guide he has worked with Africa’s top properties across SA, Tanzania and Zimbabwe.
He has also made appearances on award-winning shows such as The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, sharing not only stories from his adventures but also highlighting his strong conservation message.
He joined Panerai sharing with the Maison the spirit of adventure combined with the need to sensitise the audience on natural heritage which is told through his powerful photography.
“My intention has never been solely for recognition but to raise awareness for the troubles facing our natural world today. I use my love and deep understanding of wildlife along with my skill as a nature and wildlife photographer to convey more than an image or a fleeting moment.”
