Glashütte Original is proud not only to introduce a new movement and a refined timepiece, but also to add another complication to its portfolio: the annual calendar. This new timepiece from the manufactory appears in a 42 mm case in elegant platinum, and is limited to 150 pieces. The sapphire crystal case back offers unobstructed views of the movement, which is decorated in a traditional manner. A strap made of black Louisiana Alligator nubuck leather with a platinum folding clasp ensures a comfortable and secure fit on the wrist.
The retrograde display highlights the current month in a stylish fashion. A curved sapphire crystal window between 3 and 6 o’clock uses numerals to indicate the 12 months. The crystal is tinted black, with the sole exception of the month numerals. The indicators on the month ring beneath it, which completes one revolution every four years, ensure in this manner that the white numerals are only highlighted one at a time. This type of display is a genuine novelty at Glashütte Original, and represents a stylish and innovative interpretation of the classic month display.
The dial of this exquisite men’s watch is generously cut out and rhodium plated in black. It offers views, among other things, of the month wheel mounted beneath the small seconds, the moon phase switch, and the date discs. The fine vinyl-type decorative pattern and the indexes are applied with great care by hand. The filigreed minute and hour hands are blued and coated with Super-LumiNova®. In keeping with the dark look of the watch, the month display appears in white against a black ground, the moon in shimmering silver.
The new timepiece is designed to meet the needs of modern life, to make complex mechanisms easy to operate and wear. As a result, the new automatic movement – only 7.65 mm in height – impresses with its exceptional user friendliness and refined details. Along with the off-centre hour, minute and small seconds displays characteristic of the Pano family, the Calibre 92-10 features a moon phase display, a Panorama Date and a retrograde month display driven by a cleverly designed mechanism.
