Tired of the standard horological fare? Looking for a timepiece with a certain je ne sais quois....or should we say das gewisse etwas?
Either way, we’ve got you covered.
German watchmaking offers some of the most innovative design and construction on the scene today, and Glashütte Original ranks among their finest manufactures. With an impressive catalog ranging from tribute models celebrating the brand's heritage in watchmaking since 1845 to cutting-edge, avant-garde design and high complication, GO offers a wealth of horological know-how that flies under the radar in typical German fashion. For us, the PanoMatic collection — particularly the PanoMaticLunar range — are at the top.
Incorporating the brand's signature outsize date display with a moonphase register in a steel case measuring 40mm, this particular example — a Reference 1-90-02-12-32-30 — features a signed crown, recessed corrector pusher at 1 o’clock, and a sapphire crystal.
Needless to say, the case is intentionally minimal in order to frame the brand’s Bauhaus expression. The salmon opaline dial features an off-center subsidiary register with a matching ‘alpha’ handset, applied, blued-steel indices along with an overlapping small constant-seconds. Positioned at 2 o’clock, the moonphase aperture sits above the digital date display. Unlike other outsize date functions produced in Saxony, GO's version features two discs displaying the date on the same plane, interlocking seamlessly.
Powering the watch is the Glashütte Original Calibre 90-02 automatic microrotor movement with 47 jewels and a power reserve of 42 hours. Finely decorated with hand-engraved designs, beveled edges, and Geneva stripes, it’s visible through a sapphire exhibition caseback. Finishing the package is a blue alligator leather strap with a signed, stainless steel deployant buckle and a quick-release system.
Individually numbered and only 50 pieces produced, this limited edition piece was only available for purchase at Glashütte Original Boutiques, and is in near-mint condition.
This stunning contemporary offers German design and manufacture in a stainless steel package with an incredible dial low production. Needless to say,
With a classic case design, sharp dial, and a high-grade movement, the 6006G-001 has all of the elements of a contemporary classic!
