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.

Glashutte Origanal's passion for sports is no mystery for those interested in watches and everybody is aware of the fact that every time Glashutte Original launches a watch collection dedicated to sporty designs it will, for sure, be a hit. Another brilliant comeback from Glashutte Original is the new Sport Evolution Impact Collection, which features two exquisite timepieces, the Sport Evolution Impact Chronograph and the Sport Evolution Impact Tourbillon. Both watches are designed in the u***takable Glashutte style and are equipped with the best technical movement there is. With an indisputable reliability, the new watches presented by Glashutte are the proud representatives of an active generation who takes sports and movement very seriously. The watches are designed in a sporty manner to meet the expectations of the Glashutte Original's worldwide customers who are preoccupied with keeping themselves fit in a world apparently sedentary. The shock absorption system applied to both these watches can absorb up to 60 % of the impact force and it guarantees the best precision even in the hardest of situations. A 46 mm in diameter case is what both these watches share in common. The material used for the cases is stainless steel, which is combined with the sapphire crystal both on its top and its back to make up the shelter of the mechanical movement. Functional and impressively attractive, the new Sport Evolution Impact Chronograph and the Sport Evolution Impact Tourbillon watches are definitely what active people look for into a watch. The Sport Evolution Impact Chronograph provides a 100 meters water resistance due to its powerful mechanism, a 39-31 Caliber. The movement of the watch is automatic and visible through the transparent case back. All the distinctive items used by Glashutte Original,for instance, the skeletonized rotor or even the three-quarter plate are fairly visible through the sapphire crystal covered case back This transparent approach of design impresses the watch connoisseurs as it satisfies their curiosity regarding the inner working of these highly complicated and exquisite timepieces. This watch is equipped with a black dial accentuated by red motifs. The minutes, hours and seconds indicators are luminescent, as well as the hour markers so, you can be sure that even in the darkest places this timepiece won't let you down. The other watch included in the Sport Evolution Impact Collection is called the Sport Evolution Impact Tourbillon watch and it's not very different in appearance than the previously presented. The differences between these watches can be seen in terms of movement as this Sport Evolution Impact Tourbillon is equipped with a 94 Caliber and a flying tourbillon. Moreover, this model provides a date window located at the 12 o clock position and the small second indicator is located on the tourbillon's cage. Every detail reproduced on the dial uses luminescent coating to assure the best legibility during the night. These watches are available on many strap variations, which include: stainless steel bracelet, rubber strap or Trieste strap. The sporty Evolution Impact Chronograph and Evolution Impact Tourbillon watches by Glashutte Original are perfectly adaptable to any extreme situation, but also, to any fancy occasion.Glashutte Original Sport Evolution Chronograph and Tourbillon Watches Pictures Gallery
