Glashütte Original presents the PanoLunarInverse

Glashütte Original unveiled the PanoLunarInverse in platinum. It features moonphases and the movement's balance on the dial side. Price €46,100

With the new PanoLunarInverse, Glashütte Original brings two enchanting representations of the passage of time on the dial side.

In the top left, a miniature starry sky sets the stage for the moon phase display, while in the bottom right, the inverse design of the movement reveals the balance, the watch’s beating heart.

The deep blue starry sky of the moon phase display is made of aventurine, also known as goldstone – a sparkling material first produced in the 17th century by the masters of glass art on the Venetian island of Murano.

The moon is crafted in relief and its surface is 3D laser-engraved to reflect the craters and mountains of the Earth's satellite.

Once it has passed through the cut-out section of the dial, the moon continues its orbit, still visible beneath the grey-blue sapphire crystal, whose translucent surface offers a constant glimpse of the two lunar discs.

This fascinating complication is encircled by the hour and minute display, featuring applied indices and diamond-polished hands in white gold.

 

The balance bridge and duplex swan-neck fine adjustment appear to float in space, held in place by a black rhodium-plated balance bridge featuring intricate guilloché decoration.

The 42 mm x 12.46 mm round case is crafted from platinum and is water-resistant to 5 bar (50 metres / 165 feet).

Visible through the transparent sapphire crystal case back, the self-winding 91-04 calibre operates at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) with a 45-hour power reserve.

Reinforcing the lunar leitmotif, the skeletonised rotor is adorned with a domed moon. All finishes are meticulously executed by hand. It is worth noting that Glashütte Original produces as much as 95% of all the components of its movements and dials in-house.

Limited to just 200 pieces, the new PanoLunarInverse will be available from all official Glashütte Original retailers from October 2024 at the price of €46,100 on a grey Louisiana alligator nubuck leather strap with a platinum folding clasp (ref. 1-91-04-01-03-62). Other strap options are available. glashuette-original.com
