Glashütte’s PanoLunarInverse captures the moon’s captivating aura
Moonphase complications are among the oldest and most intricate movements in horology, requiring exceptional precision. They not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of a watch but also showcase the complexity and attention to detail involved in its creation. In its latest masterpiece, Glashütte Original reinterprets the moon, offering a glimpse of its captivating aura within the PanoLunarInverse.
The limited-edition PanoLunarInverse features a moon phase with a 3D laser-engraved surface, which recreated its craters and mountains. Positioned off-center on the dial, it is set against a deep blue starry sky crafted from aventurine and linked to the hours and minutes display at the front.
The moon phase moves silently by the hour and once it passes through the cut-out section of the dial, it continues to orbit visibly underneath the grey-blue sapphire crystal back. The translucent surface offers a constant glimpse of the lunar disc, giving an insight into the mechanisms that are otherwise hidden from view.
Parts of the movement are inversely mounted, too, to make them visible from the dial side. They are placed perfectly beneath a black rhodium-plated balance bridge, which is adorned with an intricate guilloché decoration. All of these complex details are house within a 42-mm platinum case and powered by a hand-finished 91-04 automatic calibre movement. It has a 45-hour power reserve and is water-resistant for up to 5 bars.
The timepiece can be worn with a grey Louisiana alligator nubuck leather strap, for a more professional look. It can also be paired with a blue synthetic strap made from yarn, produced entirely from recycled material, for a more casual feel.
The PanoLunarInverse is limited to only 200 pieces. Visit Glashütte Original for more information.
