Everything to know about the new Glashütte Original PanoLunarInverse watch

PanoLunarInverse Glashütte / Glashütte

Thanks to its unique and pioneering design, the original PanoLunarInverse model caught everyone’s attention after it was launched into the market in 2014. Actually, the team behind this timepiece overturned the watch’s movement and placed a stylish dial on its back.

Now, ten years later, in an effort to make the watch more stylish, Glashütte Original introduced a new PanoLunarInverse watch, which is manufactured from platinum. As a result, a few changes have been made to the original calibre to make it even more stylish than it was.

Every element featured on the calibre, from the swan-neck adjuster to the balance bridge, is showcased on the dial.

First, the revamped calibre comes with an elegant hours-and-minutes dial complemented by a huge moon phase disc. A sapphire disc covers the disc to create room for the dial. Since the moon phase disc draws inspiration from the sky, it has aventurine glass material designed to look like the nighttime sky due to the star-filled background.

And while the subdials are enclosed with a black ring, a large section of the dial has a silverish allure, creating a beautiful contrast between the two colors.

The watch’s dial is characterized by an interesting laser-imprinted pattern, which is accentuated by the blue and purple screws. Since this timepiece is available in a synthetic strap and an alligator strap, it offers different styling options.

As a limited edition watch, only 2000 pieces of the 2024 PanoLunarInverse have been rolled out into the market. Each piece retails at $42,600.

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

H. Moser & Cie., the Neuhausen-based Swiss watchmaker, has released the Endeavour Minute Repeater Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Cosmic Rain — a $440,000 flex limited to 20 examples.

The Real Big Deal here is the chiming. This watch has a minute repeater: a complication that, on demand, rings out the time on tiny hammers striking some gong. It’s hours, quarters, and minutes, in sound.

Swatch’s new gold MoonSwatch is priced like it’s 1969
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Guess what? It’s another MoonSwatch — but this isn’t just another colorway. The new drop from the Switzerland-based watchmaker, the MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon 1969, is the first to use real gold across the dial, hands, crown, and pushers.

The watch marks the anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on July 21, 1969.

Breitling’s new Top Time is a wearable tribute to the Aston Martin DB5
Car, Watch, Man

Breitling just released a trio of heaters: the Top Time B01 Chronograph 41 Tribute to Aston Martin DB5, a three-edition collaboration with the British carmaker. The connection between the Swiss watchmaker and the British car company runs back to 1965, when a Top Time ref. 2002 appeared on Sean Connery’s wrist in Thunderball, worn alongside the DB5 — the first Q-modified watch in the Bond series. It’s a nice bit of trivia that the DB5 and that Top Time shared the screen in the same film, and both went on to outlive the movie by decades.

The car cues go deeper than the “squircle” gauge-shaped subdials: a wooden inner ring nods to the DB5’s steering wheel, and each edition rides on a hand-colored gradient calfskin strap meant to read like automotive upholstery. All three run on Breitling’s in-house Manufacture Caliber 01, a COSC-certified automatic chronograph with a 70-hour power reserve, visible through a sapphire caseback and finished with an Aston Martin-engraved rotor. The case measures 41mm. The editions are divvied up by material and rarity. Stainless steel with a silver dial is limited to 1,022 pieces and sticks closest to the original ref. 2002, while steel with a platinum bezel and black lacquered dial drops to 315 pieces.
