While I cannot put my finger on any one piece in the collection that I would call a grail watch I can pick one that I feel best defines the brand which would be two different things. That would be the panograph and for the reasons I mentioned already. I wonder if the OP was not really asking about the latter concept rather than the the former? And yes, I see GO in the same light and appreciate the brand for the same reasons.
That's an interesting question, and one that's never . . .
. . . crossed my mind. One of the reasons I'm taken with Glashütte Original as a manufacturer is their modest and unpretentious corporate image - they do not seem to have a 'flagship' line or model. They will likely never create a grand complication. Most...
well said, Art..
I find Glashutte pano series dial layout is very unique and in my humble opinion an iconic of Glashutte Origianl. If I have to limit myself to one Glashutte, it has to be one of pano series. Apart from the dial layout, I find myself look more and more on ...
We're agreed on the peerless value of the Panograph, Yong . . .
. . . I'd be hard-pressed to come up with another watch that came with as finely finished an integrated manual winding chrono movement* at anywhere near the price. It's a bit disappointing that the Panograph had such a short production run, and those that...
Agreed.
Were I forced to pick one watch that represents what GO is all about it would be the panograph. While I agree with Art that it is difficult to put a finger on one universally accepted model as THE grail the design aesthetic and inherent value of the panog...
What's intriguing about your comment is that . . .
. . . the Panograph is not the most exotic model from G O's catalog. I suspect that if the average watch-forum participant were asked to choose a grail PP, VC, Lange, or AP, the choice would come from the upper echelons of their respective lines. By nomin...

The distinction between a grail and an emblematic watch is perfectly valid . . .
. . . and it's possible that the original poster meant the latter. If that's the case, then the Panograph fills the requirement neatly, although I'd be inclined to give the nod to the Panomatic Lunar, which strikes me as the definitive G O design from a p...
1st post on forum :)
Hi there, My name is Tudor and I'm new to this forum....just registred as I was looking for info about the Panograph since I'm a GO fan and camed across the SS model at my dealer and the watch is winking at me Still I am a little doubtful about taking the...

. . . and which had a list price in January 2007 of . . .
. . . 11800 Euros on a strap and 12900 Euros on a bracelet. I have a hard time coming up with any contemporary design that offered as much for the asking price . . . cordially, Art
thanks Art,
for the info. The watch in the review is a gold version. The price you quoted is for SS version right? This is the price I've found about as well. Don't understand why there is such a big dif. among US and EU rrps. will keep you posted if I take the plung...
Yes, the prices I quoted were for . . .
. . . the steel version you're considering. Silver dial, or the less common grey? Cordially, Art
it's the...
...silver dial. If it was the grey I was already with it on my wrist ! Tudor
but untill i come across.....
one of those I think I can live with this too.....I can always trade it if the situation needs it cheers, Tudor
in conclusion.........
.......I'm a weak man...I just hope it was the "holy grail" that made me cave in the sin. This is my first manual winding watch and I think from now on automatic ones will not find their way in my heart anymore. Now, what I would like to know it's how man...
Sorry, I missed your final question, but . . .
. . . unfortunately, I don't have an answer as I've never owned a Panograph . . . perhaps a kind Panograph owner will chime in on my behalf.
well maybe...

Art kindly PM me to remind of I have miss Tudor question
Hi Tudor I have missed the question of how many turns to fully wound the panograph. Thanks Art for PM to remind me. I happen to wear my panograph today, so i did a test, the watch was fully wound yesterday and when I wound it again this morning it took me...
thanks Art and Yong :)
All in all I'm quite impressed by the panograph ...I'm really happy I grabed it (or him ) . Also I am mesmerised by the date change...had the chance to observe it at the passing from 2009 to 2010. Althought I was at a party, the whole evening I was counti...

I was on a date the night of February 29th, 2004 . . .
. . . and my then-girlfriend was annoyed as the dickens because I was paying more attention to my Karree perpetual than I was to her or the movie we were watching! We are an absorbed bunch, aren't we ;-) . . .
