It's counter- . . .
. . . intuitive (pun intended!), and the reversed position of the start and stop pushers takes a bit of getting used to, but my take is those quirks work their way out in due course, and the end result is a perfectly functional chronograph . . . with a difference. Like many other Glashütte Originals - the PanoMatic Chrono, the Senator Diary, the Week Calendar - there's a sense of playfulness inherent in many of their designs that serves as a humanizing touch.
Going by memory (it's been years since actually handling one), the sensation of pusher actuation with both the PanoGraph and PanoMatic Chrono were absolutely top drawer. On one occasion, I had the opportunity to directly compare a PanoGraph with one of the vaunted chronographs from Glashütte's neighbor, and found the PanoGraph's tactility more pleasurable between the two. There were other points of divergence that redounded to the 1815's advantage, but all factors considered, my distinct preference was for the PG. In steel, it has to be considered one of the highest values in watchmaking this century.

G.O PanoGraph photos.
A Watch which certainly deserves more " discussion time " than it gets. First because it is a G.O. A Manufacture with a solid and serious reputation. Then because it has great allure, aesthetically speaking, with this sober dial. Another good reason to co...
Very interesting
and very neglected watch I agree Thank you for reminder my dear friend Great shots as usually Sincerely Damjan
The panograph is dear to me!
I am very fond of this model - mainly due to its untraditional layout both on dial and movement. I think I still prefer the original version although a bit less elegant than the "MkII" you show. Mostly due to the white metal case / dark dial versions (Pt/...
The black dial was an instant love for me too. Will try to take some pictures of the white
metal versions! Thanks for looking, and for your input, mon cher ami. Nicolas
Great photos!
The cleaner, more spacious dial matches well with the rose gold case. The luminous hands are a great addition to the piece compared to its predecessor. Finally, the slightly tweaked counter scale should be a bit easier to read, especially when the elapsed...
Thanks for sharing your interesting views on this watch, jmp.
Maybe it is too original to get a broader success? Whuile, we, watchnuts, think that it is its originality which would justify a broader success. Funny, isn' it? Best, Nicolas
The first generation of all . . .
. . . cal 60/61/65/90 Pano series watches were distinctive and immediately recognizable, with a strong identity as Glashütte Originals. Here are a few images from Yong some three years ago . . . . . . from which a visual comparison can be drawn. The most ...
Thanks for posting the first generation, Art.
I find it even more appealing than the latest version. Will try to shoot the white metal case! Best, Nicolas
White dial in steel, Nico, and . . .
. . . black dial in platinum - a limited edition of 200, of which I've seen two examples. Next time I see Mitch, I'll ask him to bring along his LE ;-) . . .
Here is my problem!!!
I am too in love with the PML, but am very intrigued by the chrono counter, I think I need to pop into an AD to see how it works properly!! Of the case layout and design, there is no question..... It is beautiful.... For me personally, I think the case an...

Thanks for the info Art
Can't wait for a post from you on all the current line up for GO!!
A very interesting watch. The question is to see it, in the real, in white metal.
Thanks for your input! Best, Nicolas
A wonderful and original watch.
Seems to be very much the spirit of Glashutte Original. I'm a fan of this watch for sure.
