The Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date from Glashütte Original continues to enjoy an enthusiastic reception five years after it was first presented. This should come as no surprise, as it combines the perfection of genuine manufactory production with the rich traditions of Glashütte watchmaking. And today the successful chronograph presents another facet, in two limited editions of 100 pieces each: equipped with dials in green and grey, the new versions pay special tribute to the landscape that has inspired the work of Glashütte’s watchmakers for over 170 years.
Glashütte Original is located in the centre of Glashütte, a small town set in a valley in Saxony’s Ore Mountains; for hundreds of years the town was shaped by its principle activity, mining. Today the manufactory is surrounded by thick forests, rich green meadows, steep rocky outcrops, moss-covered stone, and innumerable traces of tin and silver mining. Green and grey are thus the dominant colours of this natural backdrop to everyday life in the town.
