Glashutte Original PanoGraph replica

There’s a tendency, for whatever reason, to expect a German-made wristwatch, to give an overall impression of solidity and focus on build quality and mechanical integrity. There are other approaches to watchmaking to be found in Glashutte replica watch, of course but when it comes to fulfilling an admittedly somewhat stereotyped idea of German watchmaking in general, and Glashütte watchmaking in particular, the modern Glashutte Original PanoGraph replica watch fills the bill nicely. It’s not an especially big watch – 40 mm x 13.7 mm – but it wears and feels bigger, partly due to the generally very solid build quality, and partly due to certain aspects of the design, like the relatively narrow bezel and the generous amount of white space.

There are two things to discuss when it comes to the dial of the fashion and popular Glashutte Original PanoGraph replica watch: the overall composition and choice of design elements, and the quality of the dial work itself. Qualitatively, the PanoGraph is impeccable; everything from the hands, to the applied markers, to the beveling on the date window, quality of printing, and so on, shows every sign of a lot of very serious attention to detail.

The nice thing about wearing a watch like the Glashutte Original PanoGraph replica watch for a Week On The Wrist is that you have something pretty exciting to look at when it’s off the wrist. Here, they actually give an interesting, somewhat industrial contrast to the other, more overtly luxurious finishes, and once you strap the watch on, you get exactly that secret sense of satisfaction you should that there’s more to what’s on your wrist than meets the eye. I’d only wish for a few really sharp inner angles, the better to counteract the slightly industrial feel of the perlage.

Between the pragmatically luxurious look of the movement and the very structured, highly detailed dial, this very much left me with the impression of a watch that’s more formal than not. Given its size and complexity, the pretty Glashutte Original PanoGraph replica watch is certainly not a watch suitable for formal wear, and it seems clearly designed to make a very overt impression, but there’s no doubt you feel, if you’re in jeans and a polo shirt, and you’re wearing the PanoGraph, that the watch might be a little better dressed than you.

Wearing a Glashutte Original PanoGraph replica watch is a bit like wearing a bow tie or driving a carefully battered vintage Rolls-Royce to the grocery store to pick up a carton of milk – you’re deliberately looking to create an effect, while at the same time deliberately saying you’re the sort of fellow who does things for his own reason and doesn’t care all that much about other people’s opinions.This is a watch to wear because you like complexity, prefer making style choices of your own instead of following rules, and don’t mind rising to the occasion.
