German watchmaker Glashütte Original presents new PanoMaticCalendar watch incorporating annual calendar with panorama date, moon phase, and retrograde month display.
For the first time, the brand’s watchmakers have taken on the annual calendar, which displays not only the hours, minutes and seconds, but the day and month as well, taking months of different lengths into account. Only once a year, on March 1st, is it necessary to adjust the date, in order to account for the short month of February.
In keeping with the style of Glashütte Original‘s Pano line, the PanoMaticCalendar watch appears perfectly contemporary, clean and absolutely unmistakable thanks to the dial’s asymmetric design. It has a 42mm diameter case.
The PanoMaticCalendar watch is available in two versions: in red gold with silver opaline dial and brown Louisiana Alligator nubuck leather strap, or as a limited edition in platinum with skeletonized galvanic black dial and matching strap, also in soft Louisiana Alligator nubuck leather.
Both models feature the characteristic asymmetrical arrangement of the time display and small seconds.
Complementing the moon phase display at 2 o’clock is an innovative month display beneath a sapphire crystal window between 6 and 3 o’clock. The calendar indications are completed by Glashütte Original’s signature Panorama Date at 4 o’clock, framed for the first time in the red gold version by a fine gold border.
With the PanoMaticCalendar, Glashütte Original also presents a new manufactory movement developed in-house, which celebrates its premiere in two versions at once: as Calibre 92-09 in the unlimited red gold version, and as Calibre 92-10 in the partially skeletonized platinum model.
Both movements are rhodium plated, the limited edition is particularly striking; galvanization coats it in an elegant shade of black rhodium. Whatever its appearance, the new automatic movement demonstrates what the modern mechanics at its best can offer.
A silicon balance spring unaffected by changes in temperature or magnetic fields and a frequency of 28,800 half-oscillations per hour deliver exceptional rate precision, paired with a remarkable running time of 100 hours, great resistance and easy to use functions. The new movement has been completely redesigned to ensure maximum user friendliness and durability.
The retrograde month display combines contemporary design with complex mechanics. It can be easily set, just like the date, via the crown. In the heart of the watch the month wheel rests on a ball bearing, which ensures reduced friction and thus, in the long run, improved rate results and less wear and tear.
As usual with Glashütte Original, each movement is built using innovative techniques, then finished and regulated by hand. The sapphire crystal case back allows the owner to admire the elaborate decoration.
The new PanoMaticCalendar is available from June 2022 in all Glashütte Original Boutiques and from selected dealers worldwide.
