Glashütte Original

So, let's have a look at this limited edition of 25 pieces.

• Three-quarter plate decorated with Glashütte stripes and apparent solarised (double spirals) crown wheel and ratchet wheel, black polished click and click spring.

• Blued screws.

• Flying tourbillon with a wonderful lyre-shaped cage.

I absolutely love the lyre shape of the upper part of the case.

Here's a diagram detailing some elements of the caliber, which beats at 21.600 vph (3 Hz) and has a power reserve of 100 h!

And here is a model of his flying tourbillon escapement, which Alfred Helwig made in 1927 to present his invention in an enlarged size.

The rose gold case measures 40 x 11.60 mm.



The nice texture of the gold dial silver-plated by friction.





And three more images of the movement.

The most beautiful photos of the watch I could find were made by The Eclecticum.

Unfortunately, the timepiece is wrapped in a plastic protection...



One thing I didn't mention until now is how much I like the onion-shaped crown.

So, how do you feel about this tribute Flying Tourbillon?

I personally find it very appealing.

Thanks for looking.

Best, Emmanuel
