Glashütte Original just unveiled a new limited-edition PanoMaticCalendar, and it’s one of those watches that quietly reminds you why German watchmaking carries such a special weight in the watch world. Limited to only 150 pieces, the platinum-cased annual calendar features a detailed “Blue of Dawn” dial finish as an homage to the quiet early hours when Glashütte’s watchmakers prefer to work. Long before the workshops fill with chatter, they’ve been at their benches, taking advantage of the silence and serenity of morning. This new PanoMaticCalendar is more of a nod to those early risers who keep the wheels of time moving.
The watch’s 42mm platinum case houses Glashütte’s in-house Calibre 92-11, a self-winding movement with a silicon balance spring for improved precision and resistance. The dial is a perfect blend of skeletonized engineering and deep blue accents, giving visual insight into the layers of mechanics behind the design. Highlights include a retrograde month display curved elegantly between 3 and 6 o’clock, a Panorama Date at 4 o’clock, and a moon phase at 2 o’clock featuring a hand-crafted starry sky.
Flip the watch over, and the details continue with an expertly finished movement visible through a sapphire caseback. The Glashütte stripe finish on the rhodium-plated three-quarter plate, polished steel parts, and beveled edges showcase the brand’s dedication to traditional Saxon craftsmanship. And while the watch speaks to high-end horology, it doesn’t sacrifice practicality, offering a 100-hour power reserve, solid everyday usability, and interchangeable strap options from Louisiana alligator leather to high-quality fabric. For collectors who value both technical innovation and the traditional art of watchmaking, Glashütte Original’s release feels like a perfect meeting of the two.
