A spectacular urban cityscape, cast in 950 Platinum

The Glashütte Original PanoInverse Limited Edition is a mechanical masterpiece limited to 50 pieces. It presents itself in a 42 mm platinum case and is inspired by the urban structures of a big city. Not only do the sapphire crystals on the front and back and the partially skeletonized movement provide transparency, they also entice viewers into this street-artwork: The wearer’s own wrist is visible through the watch and becomes part of its history.

Unique to Glashütte Original, the unusual design of this timepiece positions the balance bridge and the duplex swan-neck fine adjustment – normally visible through the back of the watch – in full view on the dial side. To this end, a number of different components were newly designed and mounted in inverse order. A refined, laser-engraved, galvanic black rhodium skyline runs across the three-quarter plate and the butterfly bridge, and is taken up again on the back of the watch.

The so-called Golden Ratio governs not just the architecture of buildings but the design of the Pano Collection as well. These well balanced proportions are reflected in the asymmetric layout of the hour and minute displays, the small second and the understated power reserve indication. The colour of the watch is rounded off by a grey Louisiana alligator nubuck leather strap with a platinum fold fastener that offers elegant wearing comfort.

The heart of this metropolis pulsates in a regular and hypnotic rhythm. The manual winding Calibre 66-12 has a frequency of 4 Hz and a running time of 41 hours. The movement is elaborately crafted, decorated and regulated in our workshops. Numerous details point to the true home of the PanoInverse Limited Edition: screw-mounted gold chatons, ruby-red jewels, blued screws, beveled edges and polished steel parts provide positive identification as an Original from Glashütte.
