Haute Complication: Glashütte Original Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar

When visiting the village of Glashütte in Germany, the rest of the world seems far away. It is surrounded by beautiful nature, which gives it a deep sense of serenity, that the watchmakers there utilize to make the most marvelous creations. However, this stunning location doesn't mean that they are out of touch with the rest of the world. On the contrary, it gives them just the right perspective, as Glashütte Original proves with its Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar.

Watch of the Week: Glashütte Original PanoMaticLunar

Glashütte Original is a brand that is deeply rooted in the rich tradition of German watchmaking, yet always with eyes on the future. This makes their timepieces honor the past while shaping the future. The PanoMaticLunar is the perfect example of this, capturing attention through its rich, red gold case, combined with a vibrant green dial, featuring an asymmetrical design.

Four Perpetual Delights To Cherish Forever

A perpetual calendar remains one of the most coveted complications. While there is in today's high-tech world no particular need anymore for such a mechanical timepiece, its complexity remains mesmerizing. Unlike an annual calendar, does a perpetual one not even need adjusting in the leap years. This unique feature is very challenging to make and means that, when it runs continuously, it doesn't need manual adjustment for decades, sometimes even centuries. Watch brands also love to take this esteemed complication to the next level, from both a technical as well as an aesthetical point of view. The following four are perfect examples of this and crafted to be cherished forever.

Glashütte Original Goes For Green With New PanoMaticLunar

There is no denying it, green-colored dials is one of the hottest trends in watchmaking. During Watches & Wonders earlier this year, we already saw this color taking the lead. Glashütte Original is now launching their PanoMaticLunar also in this color scheme. For the brand, the choice for green is a natural one, as their manufacture in Glashütte is surrounded by dense forest. On the dial, they captured all the different hues that the leaves can have, from vibrant green at the center to close to black on the edges.

The small town of Glashütte, located in the beautiful region of Saxony, Germany, has a population of just over 7,000 people. Despite this, it is the beating heart of German watchmaking, with the manufacturers of Nomos, Tutima, Moritz Grossmann, A. Lange & Söhne, and Glashütte Original all located within the city limits. Glashütte Original holds a unique position among them, with a collection that contains watches in both a sportive as well as classic Glashütte style, all with manufacture movements.

Glashütte Original In Touch With Time With Their 2020 Annual Editions

Over the years, they have become a thing, the annual editions of Glashütte Original. What sets these watches apart is not that they are entirely new models, but rather that they feature the most stunning dials. In the last few years, Glashütte Original has shown us stunning dials in a 'raindrops against a windshield' kind-of-motif featuring bright colors such as orange and green. This year their approach is quite different and remarkably appropriate for the times we are living in today.

Glashütte Original Senator Chronograph Panorama Date: Exploring The Sportive Side Of Tradition

The Senator-collection of Glashütte Original is a line of refined classic timepieces, proud of its German pedigree. Made in the small town of Glashütte, near the historic city of Dresden, they represent in many ways the best that the brand has to offer. While this includes complicated pieces such as a perpetual calendar and tourbillon, it is the chronograph that sets the pace.

A German Insight: Glashütte Original Senator Moon Phase Skeletonized Edition

For centuries the small town of Glashütte has been the epicenter of German watchmaking. While there are indeed plenty of similarities between their approach to watchmaking and that of the Swiss, there are also enough things different. This allowed a certain number of manufactures to find their niche and rise to new levels of greatness when the Berlin Wall came down, and East Germany was joined with West once more. Among them was Glashütte Original, who presents with a Senator Moon Phase Skeletonized Edition a German take on how a skeleton watch should look.

Fresh Finds: Entirely New Luxury Watch Models Launched in 2019

It may be hard to believe, but we’re more than halfway through the year. From Moonwatches to automatic chronographs, 2019 is a big year for milestone anniversaries in the watch world. Yet, rather than reissues and commemorative timepieces, we looked back at the last six months to see what new luxury watch models and collections top timepiece brands have unveiled this year.

Four Watches That Make You Green With Envy

When it comes to dial colors, decades were ruled by black and silver as the most popular choices. They still rule supreme, but now need to give a bit of space to other colors as well. Blue has become a staple in more recent years, but grey and brown tones are getting more popular as well. Green might seem like a more extreme color, but also this one seems to be here to stay. While it will probably never dethrone black and silver, these four watches are bound to make anybody who sees you wear them, green with envy!

Watch of the Week: Glashütte Original Sixties Annual Edition

Glashütte Original shows us what a difference a color can make with the new Sixties Annual Edition; bright orange that spreads out over the dial and turns almost black at the edges. As if the color is not eye-catching enough already, the texture of the dial, which looks like raindrops hitting your windshield while driving on the highway, adds even more to it. To create this effect, Glashütte Original is using original equipment from the 1960s in their dial manufacture. Here a 60-tonne press gives each dial blank its low-relief pattern.

Four Summer Favorites From #TimeToMove

After the 2018 edition, the Swatch Group decided to leave Baselworld and launched this year a new format in which they introduced the novelties of Blancpain, Breguet, Omega, Harry Winston, Jaquet Droz and Glashütte Original. Under the name 'Time to Move' a carefully curated selection of the worldwide press, which included Haute Time, was invited to Switzerland to discover the new watches, with the exception of Glashütte Original, in the manufactures in which they where created. In an intimate setting, this allowed us to fully go into the details of each particular watch and discuss them with the people responsible for their creation. Among them where these four watches which we already crowned as our summer favourites;

Balancing Act: Off-Center Dials That Are A Pleasure To Read

While symmetry and beauty often go hand in hand, it takes true talent to bring balance and harmony to asymmetrical designs. When done right, off-center dials on luxury watches are pure pleasure to look at.
