A declaration of love in lilac
The new PanoMatic Luna has ladies‘ hearts beating faster on Valentine’s Day
On the day of love, the most beautiful feeling in the world takes precedence. Romance and hope lie in the air, hours and minutes fly by and moments are as light as a feather. This feeling of awakening love is reflected in the new PanoMatic Luna from Glashütte Original. The dial of the new ladies‘ watch is presented softly and playfully, with diamond-set rod indexes and lilac Arabic numerals forming a heart at the centre. The PanoMatic Luna is limited to 25 pieces and adds another feminine masterpiece to the Lady Collection.
Romantic elements
The dial of the new PanoMatic Luna combines classic and romantic elements in an elegant ensemble. The hand-crafted mother-of-pearl dial catches the eye immediately, especially the Arabic numerals in different sizes, drawn in a delicate shade of lilac as radiant forms reaching to the edge of the dial. To this end the dial was printed from the back, so that the colour shines through softly and the mother-of-pearl shimmers evenly throughout. At the centre the numerals form a heart, itself framed by nine rod indexes with 18 brilliant-cut diamonds. The dial, made in the watchmaker’s own dial manufactory in Pforzheim, is fashioned from the inner layer of sea shells. To protect the razor-thin material from breakage it is mounted on a thin disc of German silver.
The moon phase display owes its striking appearance to its elaborately crafted moon disc, which is also made in Pforzheim. The two silver-coloured moons are first cut out with a milling tool. The surface of the moons is then polished with a diamond milling tool, which gives them a unique brilliance. The special feature of this display, perceptible only upon closer inspection,
are the little hearts in the night sky, which playfully take up the symbol of love.
In line with classic Pano style, the hour, minute and small second are positioned off-centre in the left half of the dial, while the moon phase at 2 o’clock and the characteristic Glashütte Original Panorama Date at 4 o’clock adorn the right side. The Arabic numerals too, take up the asymmetric design of the dial and are thus arrayed in different sizes.
