PanoMaticCalendar in the Blue of Dawn
Glashütte Original’s watchmakers start their working day very early, often before
sunrise. Not because they need to – they want to take advantage of the fresh air and
the silence of a new day. So that in peace and quiet, and with a wakeful eye, they can
keep the wheel of time moving. The new PanoMaticCalendar is a tribute to the
passion of the artisans at Glashütte Original. With its cool, technical character and a
touch of poetry, it is the perfect expression of the dual nature of the watchmaker’s
craft. The generously cut-out dial in the shade “Blue of Dawn” offers insightful views
into the elaborately decorated movement within. This automatic watch with its annual
calendar, limited to 150 pieces, testifies to a love of the high art of watchmaking, and
The silence of the moment
It’s morning, before sunrise, and the workshops at Glashütte Original are already buzzing
with activity. The early hours are the favourite time of day for many of the watchmakers and
precision mechanics, and rising early is a long-established tradition in their craft. A long time
ago, before electricity arrived to light up the workshops, their early start reflected a desire to
make use of every available hour of sunlight. On the other hand – and this magic remains to
this day – in the early morning hours, active and alert at their workbench, they found
inspiring moments of silence, and fresh perspectives. The new PanoMaticCalendar pays
homage to its creators, and to their personal rhythms. With great clarity, a deep blue, and its
unique blend of poetry and mechanics, this model serves as a timeless tribute to every
A window on the (watch’s) soul
Transparency is a key characteristic of this annual calendar in a 42 mm diameter platinum
case. The extensively skeletonised dial, coated in blue and featuring a refined “vinyl”
decorative finish, offers insight into the multi-layered soul of the watch. Transparency is
also the secret behind the retrograde month display, positioned between 3 and 6 o’clock.
The twelve-month numerals are recessed in a curving, tinted blue sapphire crystal window.
Indicators on the ring beneath ensure that only one numeral at a time is highlighted;
together with the Panorama Date at 4 o’clock, the different number of days in the months is
displayed with precision. The date needs to be corrected only once a year, on March 1 st .
The displays are complemented by a classic moon phase at 2 o’clock, whose dark blue
starry sky is crafted by hand. Applied white gold indexes and luminous dots with Super-
LumiNova® , together with the blued hands, ensure legibility when checking the time. A
Louisiana alligator leather strap or a high-quality fabric strap round off the blue colour
The mechanical engine
The cut-away dial reveals the ingenious mechanics beneath the elegant displays: the
manufactory movement Calibre 92-11, which runs at a frequency of 28,800 half-oscillations
per hour, combines optimal user-friendliness with precision and style. A silicon balance
spring, which is resistant to magnetic fields and temperature changes, guarantees excellent
rate precision, while a 100-hour running time and easy-to-use functions ensure maximum
convenience in everyday life. From the dial side and through the transparent case back one
can easily admire the Glashütte stripe finish on the rhodium-coated three-quarter plate,
along with numerous other traditional decorative finishes: bevelled edges, blued screws and
polished steel parts, for example. Like all watches from Glashütte Original, every single one
of the 150 pieces in the limited-edition PanoMaticCalendar is assembled, decorated and
regulated in the watchmaker’s in-house workshops – not only in the early hours of a
dawning day, but then, too.
The new limited-edition PanoMaticCalendar in the shade “Blue of Dawn” is available from
September 2025 in all Glashütte Original Boutiques and from selected dealers worldwide.

Besides the incredible movement all of the small elements on the dial and the finishing just make it a really beautiful piece of art IMHO.
