Hands-On With The Glashütte Original PanoMaticCalendar Platinum
The Glashütte Original PanoMaticCalendar Platinum is a limited-edition watch that showcases how a watch's appearance can dramatically change with different dials and colors. Crafted from platinum, this 42mm timepiece features a striking matte dark blue skeletonized dial that offers a mix of smooth and engraved surfaces, providing a substantial feel. The design is complemented by white gold indexes, blued steel hands, and a beautifully laid-out functionality including a sub-dial for hours, a panorama-date indicator, and a moonphase display. The watch is powered by the in-house caliber 92-11, which boasts a remarkable 100-hour power reserve and includes advanced finishing treatments emblematic of Glashütte craftsmanship. With its elegant alligator strap, the PanoMaticCalendar Platinum delivers a sophisticated presence on the wrist, making it suitable for both formal occasions and casual wear. Limited to 150 pieces, each individually numbered, this exquisite watch is priced at €44,000, reflecting its status as a high-end platinum dress watch. Its release in late summer, just in time for the winter season, positions it as a delightful addition to the collection, appealing to those interested in luxury horology.
