Glashutte Original is widely known for their Senator line of dressy, beautifully-finished and classically reserved watches.

Ah, Glashutte Original. When I had my first exposure to the brand, I reviewed a fairly simple model, the three-hander (with Panorama date display) Seventies. With that watch, I particularly enjoyed the styling, as well as the understated elegance that came from the layout. So that left me curiouswould the same appreciati [...]
Asymmetric design is a hallmark of Glashutte region watches, a fact that is dutifully celebrated by German watchmaker Glashutte Original. For 2013, theyve released the exclusive PanoLunarTourbillon, the latest of many Pano watches that celebrate the appeal of balanced, yet eccentric dials. The contemporary popularity o [...]
For 2014 Glashutte Original will finally release a new version of the famed PanoInverse XL from 2008 called the PanoMaticInverse. The concept today is the same as it was in 2008, and is one that has been followed by other brands such as Arnold Son with their TB88. The inverse part of the PanoMaticInverse name refe [...]
Today, well have a look at a watch that Ariel first covered back in June of 2011 the Glashutte Original?Seventies Panorama Date. Of course that begs the question, to some extent, as to why were covering it again. The primary reason would be that there have been some new strap options coming into the mix, but also for th [...]

My feelings probably hinged on the fact that it wasnt the type of watch I expected from the brand. Though after some revi [...]

What exactly is a Cosmopolite? A Grande one at that? You may find out In 2012 at Baselworld, I was excited about my forthcoming meeting with Glashutte Original. The (probably) under-appreciated Swatch Group-owned brand makes some fantastic watches. While they have their place in the Swatch Group and cant do everything they lik [...]
The funkiest straightforward tourbillon watch for 2011 might just be this limited edition Sixties Square Tourbillon from Glashutte Original. The 41mm by 41mm wide square cushion style watch case is great looking and the execution of the flying tourbillon just seems like a nice icing on the cake afterthought. It is as though the entire watch was done but it had a subsidiary secon [...]
Another Glashutte Original watch that I was more than happy to play with this year was the new version of the Senator Perpetual Calendar watch. The movement inside the watch nor the name of this timepiece is new but the new piece is a real gem. For 2011 the size of the watch as well as the design ha [...]
One of the biggest reasons that the Rolex Submariner is the popular icon that it is, has to do with its ability to seamlessly go from sport to serious, and from casual to corporate. This gives it the ability to be worn in almost every occasion, but when it comes down to it, for most people the Rolex Submariner i [...]
When I first noticed the Sport Evolution watch collection a few years ago I felt as though it was Glashutte Originals take on making a fancier Rolex Submariner. While the Sport Evolution is a bit larger (by 2mm) the watches have a lot in common. Both are dive watches (though people rarely dive in either of th [...]
