Glashütte Original Lands His-And-Hers Lunar Timepieces

His-and-hers watches are making a comeback. It was an enormous pattern within the mid Nineteen Nineties, however a mounting backlash (“We aren’t simply smaller variations of males!”) compelled makers to create separate girls’ collections. However issues go in cycles, and “shrinking-and-pinking” has taken on a brand new and improved kind. A smaller model of an awesome males’s watch that matches my wrist? Sure please! Glashütte Unique will get the system proper with the PanoMaticLunar and PanoMatic Luna fashions.

The lads’s (or girls’ because it’s solely 40mm) PanoMaticLunar accommodates the caliber 90-02, an exquisitely completed motion with a typical German three-quarter plate with striped end, a skeletonized off-center rotor and a hand-engraved stability bridge. The women’ PanoMatic Luna (or males’s if a 39.4mm case dimension diamond highlights go well with them) accommodates the caliber 90-12, which relies on the 90-02 and does nearly the identical factor. Each have hours, minutes, moon section, small seconds and an enormous date.

Design-wise, the women’ piece is a bit more ornamental, in addition to being slightly bit smaller. The dial is white or lilac mother-of-pearl, in comparison with the white, gradient inexperienced or black on the lads’s. The small seconds subdial and the date window on the women’ piece are barely smaller with a extra scripty font, and the hour indexes are set with diamonds, as is the bezel. Another delicate distinction: the crown on the women’ piece is a bit more dainty, and the strap is extra tapered.

These are all considerate, delicate variations that represent an enchancment on the earlier conference of merely shrinking the size, throwing in a quartz motion, and leaving it at that. Glashütte Unique’s feminization tweaks enhance the design and exhibit a recognition of the kind of refinements that rework an awesome males’s watch into an awesome girls’ watch.

The PanoMaticLunar in metal is $10,100 on a strap and $11,000 on a metal bracelet. In crimson gold, $21,100. The PanoMatic Luna is $17,500.
