Very true the Panograph design...
.. is capable of winning over those who don't usually like chronograph dials. Apart from the larger size of the minutes counter, its proportions and layout are not very different from the PanoReserve or the Panomatic Lunar. Asymmetric but nicely balanced elements applies to the entire Pano line I think.
Thank you for reading!
Glashutte Original Panograph - Review
I've posted version of this review elsewhere on the web but since this the only active dedicated GO forum I've come across I thought I would share it here too. I will try to convey my thoughts and experiences with the watch and I hope you will enjoy the p...
Excellent write up and review!
i love GOs and though this Panograph has eluded me and I've not been able to handle one in the metal, your experience with it and the great pictures speak volumes!
Thanks! I'm sure you'll find it as impressive as I did...
... if you come across one do let me know what you think of the chrono pushers. I just love how refined they are.
What an epic review
with superb photography. Fully agree on your judgments. Congrats to this marvel. CC
Thank you very much for this great review
To be honest this watch is nothing short of amazing such cool unique complication Definitely among my most favorite G O of all time Sincerely Damjan
Thank you for sharing the writeup! Some interesting points.
Excellent review! What camera (and setup) did you use to photograph? I agree that the new dial is an improvement on the original version. I never felt the silver chapter rings never matched well with the rose gold case, making the old gold version less de...
Thank you! Re the camera setup....
... these pictures were taken at different times over the course of the last year. Most of the regular pictures were taken with a Fuji XT1 and a Fuji 35/1.4 The photo of the watch in its box is an iPhone pic. Extreme closeups were taken with Fuji XT1 plus...
just got a reply from GO
"... Basically there were no technical changes made to the movement - we only have optimized the fine adjustment of the individual components and the design of push button as you have already mentioned. "
Appreciate the response!
Thank you for making the inquiry. The Cal 61 remains impressive, even if the technical specifications (power reserve, timekeeping, etc) are pretty standard. The Panograph continues to be one of my favourite watches and it has held up well over the years.
It is very helpful for us to have a REFERENCE review on this GREAT Chronograph.
I share your enthusiasm for this Watch even if I prefer the sophistication of the PanoRetroGraph. We tend to forget that G.O produced some very interesting Chronos. The two mentionned, and a veeery interesting Rattrapante. I am in the hunt for a steel Pan...
Thanks a lot for the kind words! ...
... indeed they have made quite a few interesting chronographs. I didn't actually know about the GO Rattrapante until two weeks ago, it seems to have been entirely missed by the community at large at least as far as what I've encountered. And putting asid...
You are right about the Datograph, and about the Duometre, as well.
The new Patek 5370P has to be mentionned, in the elusive gang of fine chronographs, too. Pfff, a killing theme! Best, Nicolas
WAAR!
What An Amazing Review! Thanks for every word. It's already late here, so I might have to read and enjoy it again. Will certainly do so. BR Kolosstt
"Ask the man . . .

Thank you very much for the kind comments!...
... I would also agree that the winding action is very smooth. Didn't think too much about it when I was writing although my personal preferences is towards watches with *slightly* more resistance in the action. I think the word Justice Potter was referri...
The Pano design
The Pano design is surely a winning design for GO. The fact that it can incorporate an, unusual, chrono so easily is the prove. Not being a chrono man I feel this Panograph is the perfect symbiosis between a piece of jewellery and a chrono watch. Thank yo...

Thanks for posting this review!
Obviously, tremendous photos and words to go with them. But what most impresses me is your passion for this watch - it is quite evident! And THAT is what it is all about. Very happy for you.
Thanks a lot
I'm always happy to share my enthusiasm about this watch with like minded folks!
Even if I am late - wonderful review - we agree on all all critical aspects...
particularly in the evaluation of the techncial and aesthetic merits of a vertical vs. a lateral (or horizontal) clutch mechanism. I enjoyed this review thoroughly - thanks for taking the time! Magnus
