Glashütte Original PanoLunarInverse

Glashütte Original has a well-deserved reputation for crafting daring, innovative timepieces, and the newly unveiled PanoLunarInverse is a prime example. Combining elements from two of the brand’s most visually striking watches, the PanoInverse and the PanoMaticLunar. This new release showcases both the mechanical brilliance of the floating balance wheel and the poetic charm of a moonphase complication in a beautifully reimagined design. Limited to 200 pieces and housed in a platinum case, the PanoLunarInverse stands out as a masterclass in horological artistry.The PanoLunarInverse is housed in a 42mm platinum case with a thickness of 12.46mm, giving it an elegant yet substantial wrist presence. The high-end material used for the case not only adds to its luxurious appeal but also emphasizes the exclusivity of this timepiece. The platinum finish enhances the intricate details of the dial, while the polished surfaces provide a sophisticated contrast to the textured elements.On the reverse side, a sapphire caseback allows a clear view of the calibre 91-04 movement, showcasing the brand’s traditional attention to detail and fine finishing. The movement is beautifully decorated with guilloché finishing, adding to the overall allure. The transparency of the caseback also highlights the floating balance wheel, a key element that is on full display from both the front and back of the watch.It comes equipped with long, slender lugs that gently curve to ensure a comfortable fit on the wrist, while the screw-down crown provides a secure and easy way to adjust the time and date functions. Topped by a sapphire crystal, the case offers durability and clarity. Water-resistance can reach up to 50 meters (165 feet).The dial of the PanoLunarInverse is an absolute work of art, combining galvanic black with a vinyl-pattern finish that creates an intricate visual texture. The standout feature is the moonphase complication, which has been moved to the center of the hours and minutes dial, giving it newfound prominence. The twin moons are meticulously engraved, depicting astonishing detail with each crater carefully rendered. The moonphase sits against a backdrop of aventurine glass, emulating a starry night sky that adds a celestial beauty to the watch.At the 3 to 6 o’clock quadrant, the iconic floating balance wheel is exposed, offering a dynamic display of the movement’s heartbeat. The mechanical elegance of the balance wheel is a signature element of the PanoInverse, and its placement here allows it to coexist harmoniously with the enlarged moonphase complication.Completing the dial is the stunning diamond-like guilloché motif, a tessellating geometric pattern akin to the Clous de Paris design. This intricate decoration creates a spiraling effect that draws the eye toward the central moonphase, creating a cohesive and visually captivating display. The dial is a testament to Glashütte Original’s ability to marry artistry with technical prowess.
