no, not boris becker & steffi graf at an awards ceremony...

Thanks for the photos, Dave. I know about the M1000 but can you tell me a little bit about the watch? It looks very nice...

Awesome watch. I was looking at Glasshute, but it is way off my budget.

hi maja: glashutte original is based in east germany, near dresden and meissen (where they make the fancy porcelain). it's right across the street from another saxon watchmaker, a. lange und sohne (really expensive, really nice stuff). the best german watches are considered just about on par with the finest the swiss have to offer. the panograph has a big date at 4:00, and a sectoral chronograph at 2-3:00. if you look closely, you can see the tiny red tipped hands which tell the elapsed minutes (three different length hands rotating within the sectoral window).


hi klemenv: that's why i'm into pens now, and watches not so much...

Hi Dave,

Very nice indeed! Wasn't Glashüttte supposed to be a pilot's watch?

Warm regards< Wim

Thanks for the reply, Dave...but I still can't tell what time it is on that lovely watch!

hi wim: they do make pilot's watches, but i think their past and current lines are pretty diverse. other german companies such as hanhart and tutima specialized in pilot's watches. iwc is also known for their pilot's watches. here's a GO modern pilot, the senator navigator perpetual i lifted from scott shelerud's review at the purists which you can find here...Scott Shelerud's guest review of the limited edition Navigator Perpetual

but they make other watches such as this...(picture by marcus hanke from the purists.com, read the review here...The PuristS peek review of glashutte original's PanoMaticChrono

and this one, a helwig flying tourbillon 2 in platinum, snagged from thomas m at the purists.



hi again maja: :doh: sorry, the time is read on the left half of the watch; the hours and minutes at the top subdial, and the seconds in the bottom subdial.

Hi,

Just wait till Slush99 sees this! M1000--not my pen, but a pen Slush would love.

Lovely photos. As one reviewer put it, "A movement like this makes one seriously consider to wear the watch upside down in order to have the marvel visible at all times."

Thanks for the "timely" ( ) reply, Dave!
