glashutte lange 31

This item appears in our Fall Fashion Preview 2009. Positioned as one of the Swatch Group’s middle-range brands, Union Glashutte offers a wide range of traditional-looking (and feeling) watches imbued with a distinct German watch*** character. Functionality and traditional aesthetic principles are valued over wild designs and experimentation. A handsomely toned square watch, the Union Glashutte Averin Chronograph has a mix of reliable looks and intricate features that come together in a mature-looking timepiece. Classic touches include emphasis on mostly two colors with a dash of a third (here being either red or yellow), as well as the supple leather strap with contrast color stitching. 87 Uniqueness No other timepiece using the automatic Valjoux 7751 movement has been clever enough to use a three-pronged hand and a three-row date indicator to help balance out the dial layout of this quirky movement. The result? A mix of intriguing dial design as well as one of the best executions of the movement’s many features. As such, the Union Glashutte Averin Chronograph includes the time, annual calendar (with the date), date and month, a moon phase indicator, a synchronized 24-hour hand, and a 12-hour chronograph. Despite the crowded dial, the hour and minute hands are thick and easy to read. Read more 84 Durability Classic watches are rarely asymmetric, but the Union Glashutte Averin Chronograph proves the look works in this essentially timeless-looking gentleman’s timepiece. The 42.5mm sided square steel case represents a larger sized watch that is water resistant up to 100 meters. The double AR coated sapphire crystal is glare-free and durable. Relief-embossing decorates parts of the one piece dial, while the hour markers are applied and match the hands in style. Union Glashutte designed the Averin Chronograph to pair suitably with a suit or sandals in design and function -- but is also appropriate for gentlemen who appreciate detailed information in a watch from a 115 year-old company.
