The PanoInverse is one of very few watches . . .
. . . that melds aesthetic and horological art in equal measures. Most Glashüttes are thoroughly conservative and functional, while this one is - at least outwardly - more flamboyant. It doesn't take long, though, for the technical beauty of the design to take hold on the imagination.
If I may borrow an analogy from a separate field, there are essentially two spatial effects of sound reproduction equipment. The more common effect takes you there . . . the prevailing perception is one of transporting the listener to the performance. The other, and far less common, effect brings them here - the music and musicians are present while you're listening.
The PanoInverse, compared to others, is like the latter . . . it brings the beauty and intrigue of watchmaking to you, rather than the other way around. It is truly a very personal watch.
Thanks so much for all the time and effort in sharing your thoughts with us, Richard. Masthead honors, naturally.

Slow Saturday with the PanoInverse
Saturday afternoon...with nothing much to do...so the camera and watches come out to play. It's 8 days short of 3 months that I've had this PanoInverse, which has been on my GO wish list to join my Senator Panorama Date and my Senator Sixties for a long w...
Thanks for the review, Richard.
You know how much I am fascinated by this G.O. With the grey dial, I would even say that it looks like a concept watch, it has this je ne sais quoi of modernity, almost modern art, too. A superb blend of styles, for sure. Best, Nicolas.
Definitely no secret...
...and I know it's only a matter of time before you will get yours :-) Watches are art....and only those who get it appreciate it...at least that what I have grown to realize ;-) Richard

The world of hi fidelity
Thanks, Art, and that illustration is definitely one that I never thought of, but it's perhaps the most apt way of describing it. Our watches have so much in common with the appreciation of the arts and music, I would think it deserves to be classified as...
Wonderful photos, thank you.
I agree with Nico, the grey dial lends it a concept feel. And how awesome is the strap on this one... really a clever watch.
Always a pleasure
A pleasure to share, Michael, and thanks for the kind words. A watch that differentiates itself from the crowd, that's what it does Richard
Saturday's Mission...
...Thanks for taking the time for your PI review and photos - it all helps with my PI vs Panograph decision! So, this Saturday's mission: My AD let me know that he just got a new PI in steel today and that I have first dibs. It is still wrapped in plastic...
Both :-)
That's what most people will tell me to do :-) Let us know what you decide and come back with. Either one will be a great choice with very different characters. The one thing in common would be the beautiful finishing and a movement you won't tire of look...
This watch is German genius!
Hi Richard, Thanks for your wonderful post. Your pictures of the PanoInverse are incredible! I have the PML and I always have to take it off and turn it over to view and appreciate its hand-crafted, finely-detailed beauty. The GO designers and engineers o...
