Glashütte Original

i Glashütte Original novelties at Basel 2014 reported by Marcus Hanke In the center of Glashütte Original’s novelty show this year stood a new selfwinding chronograph movement; finally, as I might add. Since years, there was a large gap in the line of Gla...  

The Watch which interested me the most is the PanoMaticInverse...As I love the manual version, and much prefer it to the automatic, which I find less harmonious, dialside. One question: I lastly paid a lot of interest in the " high end " chronographs segm... 

As rumours went, the production of the Panograph movement was discontinued several years ago. While it might be possible to re-initiate the production, I would rather suspect the pieces we see now are equipped with movements still on the shelves. There mi... 

I am so interested that I think it will be my next G.O... I will wait till one or two years, then will decide in consequence... Thank you! Best, Nicolas.

Thank you for the informative report! The Calibre 37 appears to be a well-engineered chrono movement, very much in line with what I would expect from Glashutte. Based on MSRPs published elsewhere, the (movement's) level of finish is about right for the Se... 

I just wanted to correct this misunderstanding: The silver coat of the platinum Senator dial is hand-rubbed onto the base material. This sounds easier than it is. IN fact, hand-rubbing is one of the oldest silver- or gold-coating procedures known, and nor... 

The silver grained finish can be appreciated in a number of Glashutte watches, some of which feature beautiful movement finishing too. Like the Senator Chronometer. I suppose the market will determine if the MSRP is "fair".

Regarding the new chronograph calibre 37, I think that it uses an oscillating pinion and not a vertical clutch as described. At least not for the chronograph seconds. By the way, the oscillating pinion is a great technical solution and people too easily s...

The power transfer to the chronograph mechanism is done by means of an oscillating pinion, not a vertical clutch: I will correct my report. Marcus ...  

Marcus, How does the pinion mechanism cause the stop/reset pusher action to be a harder feel than start action? Regards, MTF

The ubiquitous ETA/Valjoux 7750 has such an oscillating pinion system as well, and here the pusher feel is different: rougher for START, soft for STOP. Marcus

Very nice video and music audio at the end of the article!
