Glashutte Original PanoMaticVenue watch

The Glashutte Original PanoMaticVenue watch is a long-awaited addition to the outstanding Pano collection of watches from this famed German luxury watch manufacturer.

A stunning timepiece for world travelers, the PanoMaticVenue offers a sophisticated new innovation, while retaining the fundamental aesthetic and technical attributes that make all Glashutte Original watches creations of true horological excellence. Classic and extremely balanced in its sober elegance, the case of the PanoMaticVenue timepiece measures 39.4mm in diameter. Crafted from 18K rose gold, platinum, or stainless steel, it displays a subtle brushed finish on its flanks, which emphasizes the brilliant polish that shines forth on the bezel and strap lugs. The workmanship of the dial is equally sublime, with its distinct finishing textures on the main section and the minute and seconds track of the characteristic off-centered time display. The 24-hour timezone indicator in the upper right hand corner and the panorama date display immediately below it complete the visual harmony of the entire design, giving off an irresistible combination of elegance, legibility, and technical fascination.

Glashutte Original's PanomaticVenue watch is defined by the excellence of its self-winding manufacture movement. Visible through the sapphire crystal caseback window, the Caliber 90-04 shimmers with beautiful and charming finishing flourishes, which include blued screws, plates with Glashutte ribbing decoration, polished swan-neck springs, and a balance bridge which displays an intricate hand-engraved pattern. This visually stunning balance bridge also proudly calls attention to the distinctive details of the watch's escapement, which features a unique duplex swan neck system that permits great range of adjustment to ensure optimal performance of both the rate and the beat of the balance--factors which directly affect the timekeeping performance of the watch. The balance wheel itself is a statement of classical Glashutte horological techniques, with its eighteen solid gold screws on its rim. Gold also adorns the outer rim of the winding rotor; this factor contributes to the efficiency of the winding motion, and also adds an additional touch of visual beauty.

The engineering is equal to the fine aesthetics--in addition to the ingenious panorama date display, the PanoMaticVenue movement has an extremely user-friendly timezone adjustment system; by pressing the buttons on the side of the case, the primary hour hand may adjusted forwards or backwards to account for changes in local time. Meanwhile, the unobtrusive 24-hour hand keeps track of the time at home.

The Glashutte Original PanoMaticVenue watch is produced in both stainless steel and 18K rose gold, each bearing a stunning silvered dial. A limited edition platinum version is also offered, which is fitted with a special black and silver dial, and a winding crown decorated with an onyx cabochon. Each watch is completed by a fine Lousiana alligator strap; the steel and 18K models feature a triple folding clasp, while the platinum watch is fitted with a platinum tang buckle.
