Glashütte Original PanoReserve 65-01-22-12-61

Three variations of an Art & Technik masterpiece take to the stage at Baselworld 2012: the newPanoReserve presents a stylish and sophisticated interpretation of the signature asymmetric Panodial visuals. A red gold edition with a silver dial takes optimal advantage of the larger case andslimmer bezel to unveil the strictly minimalist approach.

The off-centre hour/minute display features faceted red gold hands and applied red gold hourindexes framing a finely drawn subsidiary seconds dial. Glashütte Original's characteristicPanorama Date display takes its place on the warm silver dial just below 4 o'clock as theconnoisseur's eye is drawn to the elegant, stripped-down power reserve display. The PanoramaDate and power reserve are labeled in German, a subtle indication of the Saxon manufactor roleas rightful heir to more than 165 years of fine mechanical watchmaking in Glasütte.

Two PanoReserves present the new visuals framed in polished and satin brushed stainless steel.One features a warm silver dial with blued hands and applied hour indexes on the hour/minutesdial, a black-on-white Panorama Date display and the simply compelling power reserve (Auf/Ab)with blued steel indicator. The second variation in stainless steel presents a grey ruthenium dialwith white gold hands, applied nickel hour indexes and an impressive white-on-grey PanoramaDate below the power reserve.

The heart of the PanoReserve is the manually wound 48-jewel Calibre 65-01 with 42-hour powerreserve. Chief among the attractions visible through the sapphire case back are the duplex swanneckfine adjustment, hand-engraved balance cock, screw balance and the traditional Glashüttethree-quarter plate with Glashütte ribbing, screw-mounted gold chatons, and blued steel screws.The new PanoReserves are fitted with either black or brown Louisiana alligator straps; colours andfinish vary with the models.
