Renowned German watchmaker Glashütte Original has been wowing the haute horology world for nigh-on 175 years, and now, it looks set to add to a new chapter of excellence to its storied reputation with the latest iteration to its much-acclaimed Pano collection – the PanoInverse – Limited Edition.
Asymmetrical aesthetics are the dominant design conceit here, with the collection’s iconic off-centre dial in this instance skeletonised to draw all attention squarely to its beautiful butterfly bridge – with its pulsating screw balance – and the manual-winding Calibre 66-08 movement beneath. Elsewhere, the three-quarter plate, normally solely viewable through a transparent caseback, takes centrestage on its front fascia. It’s a deft touch that fully highlights the stunningly intricate filigree foliage engravings that punctuate its rhodium-plated acreage.
Further fitted with an unusual off-centre hours / minutes dial and small-seconds subdial, dark blue Louisiana alligator leather straps complete the sophisticated appeal of this special 25-piece platinum iteration of the PanoInverse – Limited Edition.
Those keen to get a first-hand glimpse of this eye-catching design are in luck, because Glashütte Original is displaying it a very special “Created for Creators” presentation at the Nathan Road-set Prince Club, alongside other highlights from its refined back catalogue. Haste is the order of the day, though, as the exhibition will only be held for another week.
