German Beauty

As you can tell by the date, I took these a while ago but haven't had time to get them posted. This is my Glashütte Original PanoReserve in stainless steel.....

First, a wide shot - nice case finish, very nice strap......but that dial is the kicker for me.




Very big date!! Note the clean, crisp edges of the date window.




The dial finish is very well done, as is the printing.....




Made in Saxony.......the circular machining for the dials is well defined - this is the sub seconds dial.




Full power!! The machining of the power reserve section is just flawless....

The way the dials run together is very well done, and I love those applied markers on the main dial.




Possibly the only area that can rival the finish and detail of the dial on this watch, is the movement.........here is the balance area showing the shock protection, hair spring, and details of one of the swans neck regulators.......




Here is a larger view of one of the swans neck regulators.......




On a Swiss watch I would call these Geneva bars (Côtes de Genève) but if they are done in Glashütte, are they Glashütte bars????? These are done on the massive 3/4 plate.....




48 rubies.........




In addition to the 3/4 plate, screwed gold chatons are part of the German watchmaking tradition......





Hope you enjoy these photos!
