Glashütte Original

Just some small tidbits: Basel fair close-ups ...

 

Without further comment, as unfortunately, I am really, really busy over that week-end, I post a few close-ups showing why the GO dials are rightfully considered being among the most complex and beautiful of the whole industry:

The marvelously fine hobnail pattern of the Panomatic Tourbillon dial


The moonphase of the new Senator series


Panorama date window of the new Senator series. Note how the manufacturer logo is not simply printed over the structure, but raised over the guilloche pattern, so it offers a smooth base for a clear print. The dial manufacturer admitted that among amny other details, this one caused a lot of work and many experiments


Moonphase of the new Senator perpetual


And here is the Senator perpetual dial in its full beauty


Among my personal favourites: The Senator power reserve


The Sport Evolution panorama date


A complete view of the new Sport Evolution panorama date. Unfortunately, most Sport Evolution we saw were in various prototype stages. This one was the only one completely to series production status - lacking a movement, though . It did not have the new steel bracelet, but the sharksin strap the watch is also offered with (I highly prefer the bracelet). Note that the minute hand is longer than that shown on the first press pic. Also the dial is a bit darker into the smoke-grey, instead of the plain silver of the press pic. I really like this watch!

I am sorry that I cannot serve you a complete report with all the pics just now. Hopefully, I can do it within the next days!
