The top model of the new PanoMatic model line by Glashütte Original is the PanoMaticTourbillon.This model unites one of the most difficult complications in classic watchmaking with the horological innovation of the 1990s – the panorama large date. The cantilevered tourbillon according to Glashütte master watchmaker Alfred Helwig has had a long tradition in the Saxon manufactory, losing none of its horological importance and mechanical fascination.
The PanoMaticTourbillon represents a premiere: The Glashütte watchmakers have given this construction automatic winding for the first time, creating a composition that contemporarily interprets the best and most difficult in haute horlogerie.
Appearing to be flying, the finely finished tourbillon cage rotates once a minute, while simultaneously providing a home to the display of seconds. Blued hands glide across the 18-karat white gold hand-guilloché dial. The characteristic panorama large date, for which this demanding edition of wristwatches is named, perfectly completes the impressive 
appearance of the timepiece housed in a polished platinum case.
