Glashutte Original PanoMaticTourbillon watch

The Glashutte Original PanoMaticTourbillon watch evokes the glory of traditional Glashutte haute horlogerie. Bearing a hand-crafted flying tourbillon built according to the design of the legendary
German master watchmaker Alfred Helwig, this Glashutte Original timepiece is a stunning creation of luxury which places a superb Manufacture movement of the highest quality within a striking design that radiates Old World craftsmanship and a distinctive expression of opulence.

Glashutte Original has chosen only the most exclusive materials to show off this horological masterpiece. Available in 18K rose gold, or platinum with or without a bezel set with round brilliant diamonds, the case of the PanoMaticTourbillon watch measures 39.4mm from side to side, and features a subtle brushed finish that reveals the grain of the gold or platinum. The dials, presented in a range of colors, display a wondrous degree of fine textures, including several different styles of guilloche, which are separated by grained surfaces, and applied hour markers and polished hands. The distinctive technical elements--the off-centered time display, the panorama date, and the magnificent tourbillon complication each generate their own subtle fascination, and share this elegant stage with grace and harmonious balance.

The Glashutte Original PanoMaticTourbillon watch is defined by the excellence of its superb self-winding mechanical movement. Conceived, decorated and assembled by a dedicated Glashutte master watchmaker, the Calibre 93 demands the utmost dexterity and skill to create. Its flying tourbillon--so named because it is affixed from underneath, rather than across a bridge--reveals the full mechanical beauty of the rotating tourbillon cage, which bears the gold screw-affixed balance wheel and the escapement in its center, completing a single revolution each minute. Glashutte Original has also incorporated the distinctive panorama date mechanism into this movement, which provides for a superbly easy to read date function that is mechanically elegant, thanks to its concentric date discs. The view through the sapphire crystal back is also spectacular, with the eccentrically positioned skeleton rotor, a 21K gold weighted mass, and a plate adorned with shimmering Glashutte striping, gold lettering, and blued-steel screws. The caliber features 46 jewels, including 2 diamond end-stones, has a balance wheel frequency of 21,600 alternations per hour, and offers a power reserve of approximately 48 hours.

Presented in 18K gold or platinum, the Glashutte Original PanoMaticTourbillon watch is completed by a finely crafted strap in Louisiana alligator leather. The platinum variations are each fitted with a platinum tang buckle, set with or without diamonds according to the model. The rose gold version offers a triple-folding clasp which is engraved with the elegant Glashutte Original insignia.
