A few more pictures from the Panograph

I realise I hadn't contributed any pictures here in some months! I thought I would post some pictures of the Panograph I've taken over this time.

I used the focus stacking method of combining several pictures to achieve this deep focus view of the entire Panograph caliber.
The Saxon style of movement decoration with blued screws and chatons make for quite colourful movements. But the beauty of the Panograph shows even in black and white.
And a quick snap from yesterday to finish off!

Thank you so much for these pictures of a watch I like a lot.

Beautiful focus stack! How many did you needed? Last I did mine, I needed as many as 50... How many variants of the panograph dial are there? The ones I usually see have the dots for the minute totaliser... Regards, skyeriding

Thanks a lot! I used only 16 pictures, focus on each was quite shallow as I used a Zeiss 100mm f/2 makro planar at around f/5.6 I think. The lens does not provide exif data to my Fuji camera being mounted on an adapter so I'm not sure. I definitely needed more frames o...

haha true!... ... I am considering getting a rail. I racked focus manually for these which didn't help but the Zeiss is manual focus with a well damped ring and about 300 degrees of throw so it wasn't too bad.

Ah, so you did it via manual focus... I can't do that on mine as I don't feel the precision (a Nikon Micro 85mm DX); so I'm using a budget focus rail at the moment. There are some articles about the differences between both methods, but I didn't delve too deep into it...for the lens I'm using...

Pre-Basel 2016: Hands-on with the GO Senator Chronometer in White Gold / Blue Dial
Ornatus-Mundi
This year's pre-BaselWorld teaser is a particularly attractive timepiece, built on a thoroughbred timekeeping machine of universal repute: The Glashütte Original Senator Chronometer comes now in a marvellous combination of a blue dial with a white gold case . I am glad now to be able to share with you my hands-on impressions: The GO Senator Chronometer is at first sight a rather unassuming timekeeper, and in fact this is what it primarily is - a timekeeper (but not an unassuming one). The Senator Chronometer ... .
