Glashutte Original GoldenDragon Watch

The Glashutte Original GoldenDragon watch is a luxurious creation of fantastic beauty, uniting the artisanal craft of the jeweler with the expertise of the master watchmaker. Gold and precious gemstones form the basis for a rare work of art, that will be treasured by the feminine collector of exceptional haute horlogerie.

This stunning Glashutte Original watch features a 39.4mm case crafted from a block of 18K rose gold. Fine finishing sets the mood to display the artistry of the Golden Dragon--richly polished lugs contrast superbly with the brushed case sides, which display a striking engraved pattern that calls to mind the sharp talons of the dragon. A ring of richly colored rubies is set into the bezel, evoking the heat of the dragon's fiery breath. The dial is a superbly detailed work of art--the lacquered, guilloche surface presents an extraordinary picture. The off-centered time display, encircled by a golden dragon tail is set with a sparkling field of pave diamonds, as is the sub seconds dial, and the central part of the dragon's body, which underscores the panorama date display.

A beautiful example of the intersection between art and technique is the power reserve indicator. Located inside the dragon's "mouth", the power reserve hand appears as the beast's tongue, gradually moving up and down to indicate the amount of tension remaining in the mainspring. In all, 174 diamonds adorn the dial, and a single ruby serves as the dragon's eye. The Glashutte Original GoldenDragon watch is equally spectacular from the inside. Turned on its backside, the watch shows off its finely crafted Manufacture movement through a sapphire crystal exhibition window. The manually wound Caliber 65-01 movement is a true accomplishment of fine German high horology, demonstrating exclusive engineering and superb decorative detail--these include the eye-catching stripes that catch the light, shimmering blued steel screws, golden jewel settings, and a balance bridge and escape wheel bridge that are adorned with a unique hand engraving. Also visually spectacular is the duplex swan neck fine adjustment, which features two of these elegant swan neck springs astride the balance wheel on both sides--together, they offer adjustment of both the rate and beat.

The Glashutte Original GoldenDragon watch is completed by a fiery red strap crafted from fine Louisiana alligator. The intricate folding clasp is crafted from 18k red gold, and is set with 12 round brilliant diamonds and 10 rubies.
