Explore Glashutte Original

A Glashütte Original movement can be as recognizable as its dial: striped three-quarter plates, blued screws, and finely engraved balance bridges give the mechanics a distinctly Saxon character. The manufacture takes its name from Glashütte, the German town whose watchmaking tradition began in 1845, and carries forward skills preserved through decades of state-owned production.

The PanoMaticLunar puts that character on display with off-center hours and minutes, a moon-phase display, and the Panorama Date. Its two date discs sit on the same level, without a dividing bar between the digits. Turn it over and the automatic Caliber 90-02 offers another composition to study, including its duplex swan-neck fine adjustment.

The collections stretch beyond that asymmetric dial. Senator Excellence takes a more restrained approach, backed by the Caliber 36 and its 100-hour power reserve. The Sixties collection explores domed crystals, curved hands, and richly textured dials; the SeaQ draws on a diver from 1969, pairing large luminous numerals with a rotating bezel and a decidedly more workmanlike stance.
