With the Lange 1 entering the realms of a unicorn waiting list watch, customers’ attention is likely to turn to Glashütte Original’s latest additions to its Pano range, which use a similar offset dial and subdial dial configuration as the watch from A. Lange & Sohne, one of its neighbours in the German watchmaking village of Glashütte.
There are models for gents (PanoMaticLunar) and ladies (PanoMatic Luna) in rose gold or steel and with dial colors including ivy green, blue, black and two shades of mother of pearl.
PanoMaticLunar models have the the hour/minute and small second on the left dial side, with a large date and moon phase display on the right side.
Men’s pieces are equipped with the automatic Calibre 90-02 with an off-centre skeletonised golden rotor.
The steel version on a steel bracelet retails for £8,800 while it is £8,400 on an alligator strap.
In 18ct rose gold, the price increases to £18,300.
The men’s PanoMaticLunar is not to be confused with the ladies PanoMatic Luna, although Glashütte Original might have made the naming convention a little easier to follow.
Ladies pieces use automatic movements in smaller stainless steel cases with mother of pearl dials adorned with and framed by diamonds.
There are 64 white brilliant-cut diamonds on the bezel and nine pairs of diamonds for hour markers on the offset dial.
Date and a moonphase complication are on the right of the dials.
They retail for £15,300.
