I like the concept but....
I think it would have looked better if it retained more of the panoreserve which manages to be both elegant and, well, reserved. If this looked just like a standard PR with the date gone and the dual swan necks sitting in it s place I believe I might be tempted. I would still have to past the XL part which is a trend I have never liked. I often wonder if 20 years from now the pieces on sale today will be considered to be something akin to bell bottoms and the source of some mirth? Overall, I like the idea but they didn't ring my own personal bell.

. . . comments, please . . . this seems to be new ground that G O is tilling, and I'd like to know what the forum thinks about this avant-garde design . . . cordially, Art...
Art, I love a lot
I can even say that it may be my 2d GO... But just a question: Do you think or know if this presentation, with some parts of the movement on the dial is UV resistant? I mean: Is there any danger to expose the movement to the daylight, due to the natural w...
that's hard to say
Hi Nicolas, There is absolutely some truth to the fact that the lubricants in watches are sensitive to light. Well, ok, let me be more accurate: The manufacturers of watch lubricants believe them to be sensitive to light and recommend storing all lubrican...
An avant garde design for sure...
bit of a radical departure from the usual somber tones of GO pieces. Looking forward to see this in the metal to see how it really looks. Have to commend them for trying to break out of their norm though. Possible winner if in steel but I think perhaps it...
Why the "Pano" title?
I'm a little confused, wasn't the "Pano" moniker tied to the Panorama date complication? I don't see the Panorama date on this watch...has it just become marketing lingo? And yes, I posted earlier that it looks like Jocke's pic...see the side by side in m...
I think its a commendable effort by G.O..
to break out of tradition but at the same time not overdoing it. But the very first impression the balance wheel assembly appearing on the "front dial" in this case, reminds me of those fake tourbillion watches. I hope u guys dont skin me alive , but this...
All opinions are welcome, Ken . . .
. . . I was asking your thoughts because this one is so outside the envelope that we're familiar with . . . cordially, Art
Family jewels on display
Thanks for sharing these images, Art. I really like how the PanoInverse emphasises some of the key GO design features – swan neck regulators, blued screws, engraved cock, screwed chatons, etc. Not as successful, to my eyes, as the Breguet La Tradition at ...
