Glashütte Original

I do believe the Glashutte Original Chronometer Limited Edition is the greatest watch I have ever owned. I'm not saying it is more enjoyable on the wrist than others, but I have never owned a better timepiece. Wish I wiped it clean before these mobile sho...  

This is the first time I’ve seen a shot of that movement on the special edition version. Completely transforms the watch IMO. Interestingly enough, my Duometre UTT shares a few features of your watch, a zero reset for the seconds hand, 2nd time zone minut... 

No doubt about that! I will work on better movement photos of this watch for a future post.

Do you ever indulge a whiskey or bourbon? I will have to get you some of the icing bullets. As you see, they can have multiple purposes ;-)

My first nice watch was GO panomatic reserve. I loved it, but at the time felt as a bit of a compromise. It was not a Lange. Many years, and many complicated Langes later, I have come back to GO and what they do with a renewed appreciation. They are unque... 

I almost bought a Richard Lange many years ago. And I flirted with a LNIB Pour le Merite model a few months back. Awesome pieces no doubt.

I can understand why you think so highly of it.

The craftsmanship on my sample is impeccable, and the accuracy is honestly within 1 second per day. That certainly justifies "CHRONOMETER" on the dial.

PS: Of the many pics we see of watches laying on a magazine...this is my favorite! ;-))

I need to snap more photos in the Bar. A favorite place to hang out at home ;-)

The casework of the limited edition is just superb, just takes an already great watch and makes it a touch more special. The date pusher in the case is a quirk. I wonder how much of a technical challenge it would be to move the date adjust to the crown an... 

I wonder if dateless model might ever be released? Perhaps that would be a future LE variant. And will they ever make a non-precious model version? I can envision titanium or brushed steel with Arabic numerals...

The weight is just perfect for what the watch is.

What held me back was the printed dial seemed kinda dead. I wish they'd have made it a bit more 3D with raised numbers or something. I eventually bought the PSM Resilience instead.

It is a solid gold blank that is laser engraved, filled with black lacquer, kiln fired, and silver plated by hand. It's a work of art, and one of my favorite features of the watch. Quite different than the standard version. But very different than raised ... 

This complex dial treatment seems perhaps even more difficult than an enamel dial. Would love to see one in the flesh.

But this particular version is extremely unique. I believe it is all hand made at the Glashutte factory. I will work on some detail images and try to better showcase it.

Hope to get to that soon.
