Introduced at Baselworld 2009, the Glashütte Original ‘Sport Evolution Impact Panorama Date’ is a work of stunning success in horologic perfection which combines modern technology and innovative design. The elements that create the exterior of the collection were designed to protect the movement for extreme sports. There are four shock-absorbing dampers constructed of elastomer, which absorb 60 percent of the force of an impact, allowing optimum durability. The shock-absorption system provides impeccable precision, even under the most demanding conditions.  At an eye catching 46 mm, the stainless steel case is coated with matte black rubber which provides additional protection and adds a sporty style. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal case back provides a clear view of automatic manufacture Caliber 39-47 beating the timepiece’s rhythm. Thanks to a power reserve of 40 hours, this functional timekeeper provides reliable service regardless of the wearer’s sporting pleasure.  A concave sapphire crystal case back is shaped to fit the wrist of the wearer. Furthermore, it allows a view of characteristic movement elements such as the swan-neck fine adjustment, the skeletonized rotor, and three-quarter plate.

“ArmbandUhren”, the largest watch enthusiast’s magazine located In Germany, unveiled the most popular watches of 2009. The Glashütte Original PanoInverse XL was on the top of the list. Maddaloni is delighted to have acquired two of the most sought after design, created in white gold and rose gold. The PanoInverse XL was introduced at Basel 2008. It uses a manufacture Caliber 66 hand wound movement. The hand-engraved duplex swan-neck bridge is a visual masterpiece. Although, the large balance wheel that oscillates below the bridge 28,800 times per hour, is the most extraordinary feature.The case is made in a polished 18k white gold or 18k rose gold. The time is displayed by two gold on black off-centered sub-dials. A blue-steel hand at one o’clock indicates the amount of power reserved in the mainspring. The off-centered time display has been reduced to a system of black rings touched with gold figures to expose the complete structure of the mechanism. The PanoInverse XL was a complex task for the mechanical engineers of Glashutte Original. This smart and elegant watch will certainly attract watch enthusiasts.
