Glashütte Original Pano watches

The Glashütte Original Pano collection is the brand's family of asymmetric watches. Hours, minutes and small seconds sit on two off-centre sub-dials on the left, and the Panorama date sits at the lower right. The line began in 2001 with the PanoRetroGraph, a column-wheel flyback chronograph limited to 50 pieces in platinum and 150 in white gold. The hand-wound PanoGraph chronograph succeeded it in 2002, the PanoMaticLunar added a moon phase in 2003, the PanoMaticCounter XL followed in 2010, the PanoMaticInverse in 2014, and the PanoMaticCalendar, the brand's first annual calendar, in 2022.

The Panorama date goes back to the Senator Panorama Date of 1997. Two concentric discs turn on the same axis and at the same level, so only a 0.06 mm line separates the two digits.

Glashütte Original makes the PanoGraph, PanoReserve and PanoInverse with hand-wound movements, and the PanoMaticLunar, PanoMaticInverse, PanoMaticCalendar, PanoMatic Luna and PanoLunarTourbillon with automatic ones. The PanoReserve and PanoMaticLunar share a 40 mm case and most of the dial. The hand-wound PanoReserve, calibre 65-01 and 11.7 mm thick, uses the space between 2 and 3 o'clock for a retrograde power-reserve indicator; the PanoMaticLunar, calibre 90-02 and 12.7 mm thick, shows a moon phase there and has an off-centre rotor that echoes the off-centre dial. Both run at 4 Hz with 42 hours of power reserve.

Around them, the PanoMatic Luna is the 39.4 mm steel version with a mother-of-pearl dial and a diamond-set bezel, the PanoMaticCounter XL is the big one at 44 mm, and the 42 mm PanoInverse and PanoMaticInverse have skeletonised dials. Limited pieces include red gold PanoInverse editions of 25 and 38, a skeletonised platinum PanoMatic Calendar of 150 and a steel PanoMatic Lunar with a rose dial limited to 50. On the 2019 red gold references, the last block of the number gives the fastening: -01 a pin buckle, -30 a folding clasp, -50 a short folding clasp.
