Glashütte Original

Recently stumbled upon a WG LE example at my AD...any thougts on this piece? Price of admission is quite steep but it's such a nice watch...methinks just a nice and possibly more complicated than my Dato.

Thanks in advance.

very good value for the money compared to others.  Should be a great complement to your Dato.

The finishing of the dato should be better but I believe the overall movement of the panoretrograph is more complicated and unique. For the panoretrograph, it is just amazing to see how a manual wind chrono watch is acutally equipped with a countdown function. Though this countdown function is an additional module, it (imho) integrates with the chrono movement quite well and is something more to offer than a dato. I believe GO has stopped the production for all the panoretrograph models. The white gold version is more subtle and less flashy as compared to the rose gold versions. Hope that helps. James

... but the production and assembly of that complication bound many of GO's best watchmakers for a long time. Possibly this compromised innovation too much, so the PanoRetro had to go in favour of the the marvelous PanoMaticChrono?

... the small second continues running FORWARD, you will immediately stop questioning the price; or whether the PanoRetroGraph is more complicated/valuable than a conventional chronograph.

and I think no other brand has made such movement so far.   This shows the high level of expertise and creativity from the GO technicians.
