Equipped with a Dual Time Display Mechanism

The limited edition "Grande Cosmopolite Tourbillon," introduced in 2012, featured not only a tourbillon but also a dual time display mechanism capable of showing the time in two different regions. The newly announced "Senator Cosmopolite" focuses specifically on this dual time display function.

For example, when traveling abroad, one can operate the crown at the 4 o'clock position before departing Japan to display the city name of the destination country in the small window marked "STD" at the 8 o'clock position. With this adjustment alone, even if the destination changes, simply altering the representative city name for the time zone will automatically adjust the central hour and minute hands – a remarkably simple mechanism.

Furthermore, while conventional mechanical watches typically support only 24 time zones in hourly increments, this mechanism accommodates time differences of 30 or 45 minutes, enabling the display of 37 time zones, comparable to high-function quartz watches. Adapting to daylight saving time is as simple as displaying the city name in the window marked "DST." The panorama date and the beautifully finished movement are characteristic of Glashütte Original, resulting in a highly refined timepiece.

A Practical Model in Deep Blue

The "Pano" series, a hallmark of Glashütte Original, is characterized by its time display dial positioned on the left side. The "Panomatic Lunar" features a moon phase indicator at the 2 o'clock position and a panorama date display with two discs at the 4 o'clock position.

This new color variation is not merely painted; it's achieved through galvanic processing, which forms a protective film on the dial's surface. The resulting deep blue is crafted at the dial factory established in Pforzheim, in the Black Forest region, in 2012. The indices are made of white gold, emitting a subtle, beautiful radiance. The alligator strap, in a matching hue, features a nubuck finish for a velvety texture, contributing to a chic aesthetic. The overall color scheme evokes a night sky, making it an elegant piece suitable for any occasion.

A Cushion Model Made Even More Feminine

The "Pavionna" is a cushion-shaped ladies' watch measuring 31mm square, featuring a form that blends retro and modern aesthetics reminiscent of timepieces from the 1960s and 1970s. It now boasts a more feminine design, accompanied by a wider array of variations.

For instance, the dial is crafted from blue mother-of-pearl. Delicate sunray decoration adorns the center of the dial, enhancing the natural luster of the material and the beauty of the craftsmanship. Diamonds are set into the dot indices and lugs, providing an elegant sparkle. The midnight blue satin strap complements the dial's color, creating a look that is both retro and cool, tailored for the sophisticated woman.
