Catalogue Essay
Established in 1845, Glashütte is renowned for its functionality and is one of the most reputable watchmakers in Saxony. Synonymous with Glashütte design is their meticulous attention to detail in both the movement and dials. This exceptional timepiece is no exception, featuring a sunray-style guilloché pattern that radiates across the dial. On the reverse side, the signature Glashütte perlage surface adorns the movement, adding to its exquisite appeal.
The captivating PanoMatic Tourbillon made its debut at the Basel watch show in 2003, showcasing one of the most visually striking and elegant watchmaking complications: the Flying Tourbillon. Originally conceived and realized by Alfred Helwig, a renowned teacher and master watchmaker at the German Watchmaking School Glashütte from 1913 to 1954, the Flying Tourbillon stands as a remarkable contribution to modern watchmaking from Saxony.
This remarkable complication houses a balance, pallets, and an escapement wheel within a cantilevered carriage that completes a full 360-degree rotation every minute. This ingenious design compensates for the effects of gravity, ensuring exceptional accuracy and precision.
Presented in excellent overall condition and accompanied by accessories, this exquisite timepiece pays homage to an extraordinarily inventive pioneer of German Watchmaking.
