glashutte no 177

[ via Glash��tte Original ]Glash��tte Original recently introduced their new Sport Evolution Perpetual Calendar at Basel. This model offers a calendar display that displays day, date, month, moonphases and leap year, automatically adjusting itself for the varied length of months. The 42mm case is made of stainless steel with a brushed finish and polished accents. The bezel is printed with paired reference world cities. Day and month are shown in the upper two windows, while the lower dial showcases the moonphase indicator and the sophisticated Glash��tte Original Panorama date display; the leap year cycle is shown via a colored segment in the small circular window below the Glash��tte Original logo. Three correctors on the left side of the watch control the correction of the calendar functions. Overall the red accents combined with the black dial and stainless steel case create a very sporty and elegant look. There are three strap options; rubber, synthetic (shown), and stainless steel. Glasshutte is a manufacture, so there is no need to outsource the movement. The Sport Evolution Perpetual Calendar utilizes a highly accurate GO 39-57 movement, made entirely in-house.

In the horological community there are men's watches and then there are sport watches. The Glashutte Sport Evolution Perpetual Calendar watch is the rare instrument of timekeeping that has a sum greater than its individual parts and redefines what a sport watch can be. As an added bonus and sensational style point, there are the names of 24 cities (such as New York, Dhaka, Berlin and Hong Kong) imprinted on the two bezel rings, allowing you to actually take command of timekeeping. The Glashutte Sport Evolution Perpetual Calendar watch features the Caliber 39 automatic movement, which includes 48 jewels and 40 hours of power reserve. 91 Uniqueness The rubber strap is a functional, if not amusing, homage to what the Glashutte Sport Evolution Perpetual Calendar watch purports to be, but do not be fooled -- this is one damn serious watch. By moving the black bezel and placing the desired city at the hour marker, you can determine the time in that city as well as the time difference between your current location and the chosen city. In one *** movement, this watch does what so many digital varieties do with the transition of menu selections and data-recall transmissions.

Glashutte is a quiet rival to the throne of luxury sport-watch supremacy. Perhaps the Glashutte name is new to you, but what you need to know is this: What you are looking at is the future of high-end sport watches. Unlike so many others that may be water-tight to the deep trenches of the Pacific or have been worn atop Everest, this watch, this unbelievably expensive piece of wrist jewelry, actually does something other than tell you the current time and date in your own time zone. It is a tool for capturing time and using it as you see fit. It is liberating. It is unifying in its understanding of the passage and manipulation of time. It is the watch you should aspire to own.
