Let the holiday season glow Magical watchmaking art from Glashütte Original

Dec 03, 2021,08:49 AM
 

Time spent together is considered the most precious of gifts. Especially now, as the
days are getting shorter and colder again, the yearning for warmth, light and shared
moments with loved ones grows stronger. Wreaths of green fir, warm candlelight,
Christmas tree decorations in shimmering gold, sparkling icicles: In this dark time of
the year, the world is lit with a special glow. As a tradition-rich watchmaker, Glashütte
Original takes this special season as an occasion to offer, once again, the most
charming way to give the gift of time with truly enchanting timepieces that do justice

to the beauty of every moment.


Elegant contrasts: SeaQ Panorama Date in red gold and vibrant black

Stylish black/gold contrasts give this model a festive look: the black dial with refined sunray
finishing presents hands, Arabic numerals and rod appliques in galvanic gold. The rotating
bezel’s ceramic ring with white inlay, the generous use of luminous highlights and the
Panorama Date’s white numerals on a black ground ensure optimal clarity.
The SeaQ Panorama Date features the award-winning Calibre 36. In the 36-13 version it
runs in a 43.2 mm case fashioned of warm red gold, with - as always - optimal performance
in terms of the four principles of precision, stability, running time and aesthetics. The SeaQ
Panorama Date conforms to the most rigorous German and international quality standards.
In an internal testing procedure, each watch is thoroughly inspected and tested for water
resistance as well as for air tightness under under- and overpressure conditions. This model
comes with a water-resistant grey nylon mesh strap, designed specifically for the SeaQ, or
a black rubber strap with a relief pattern.




Sparkling companion: Lady Serenade in elegant black and rose gold

Shimmering rose gold, sparkling diamonds and a deep black dial – this Lady Serenade
offers a sophisticated combination of sensuality, reliable precision and stylish elegance. With
its array of classically timeless and feminine accents, this ladies‘ watch cuts as fine a figure
in everyday life as it does on festive occasions. Polished and satin-brushed rose gold lends
the 36 mm diameter case a warm glow, rendered even more attractive by the 52 brilliant-cut
diamonds on the bezel.
The crown with diamond cabochon is particularly easy to use. The deep black hue of the
dial is taken up by a Louisiana alligator leather strap with rose gold fold-over clasp. The
heartbeat inside the watch is that of its 39-22 automatic movement, which reveals its finely
finished beauty through a sapphire crystal case back.


Golden Ratio: PanoMaticLunar in fir green

This model captures the magic of the holidays in a very special way, its deep green evocative
of traditional Christmas trees and Advent wreaths. The colour gradient of the hand-crafted
dial is particularly impressive: beginning with an intense dark green in the centre, the colour
changes into black at the edge. The face of the PanoMaticLunar, with its characteristic offcentre
displays, is designed in accordance with the Golden Ratio, the legendary law of
aesthetic harmony. The auxiliary dials for hours/minutes and the small seconds are
positioned within the left half of the dial, while the Saxon watchmaker’s characteristic
Panorama Date and elaborately crafted moon phase dominate the right half. The polished
40 mm diameter red gold case and crown form a warm contrast to the dial’s rich green. The
glossy green Louisiana alligator leather strap rounds off this festive timepiece in an opulent
manner.

A sapphire crystal case back offers generous views of the hand-crafted 90-02 automatic
movement. Numerous details, including the Glashütte three-quarter plate and the duplex
swan-neck fine adjustment, prove that the watchmaking arts of the Ore Mountains are as
refined, in terms of filigree craftsmanship, as the area’s famous Christmas decorations.
Shimmering beauty: Lady Serenade in snowy white and rose gold
Another timepiece from the German watchmaker also brings the festive atmosphere to the
wrist. The Lady Serenade appears as a genuine ice princess in radiant white. A razor-thin
mother-of-pearl dial provides an elegant backdrop to the display of hours, minutes and
seconds. Delicate diamond indexes and pearl-like strings on the dial offer refined reflections
and enhance the sparkling light of the 52 brilliant-cut diamonds on the bezel and the diamond
cabochon on the crown.
The snowy white hue of the dial is taken up by a Louisiana alligator leather strap with rose
gold fold-over clasp. This Lady Serenade, too, is powered by the hand-crafted 39-22
manufactory movement, whose refined decorative finishes and embellishments can be
admired through the sapphire crystal case back.
