2012 Baselworld - Glashutte Original unveils a stunning masterpiece in watchmaking &- sheer technical excellence - the Grande Cosmopolite Tourbillon!
It is aptly reserved to a Limited Edition of just 25 pieces - superbly encased in Platinum.
This timepiece heralds the pinnacle of Glashutte Original's watchmaking prowess - an astounding 37 time zones are packed into its beautiful case - the transparent caseback protected by a Platinum Hunter case that has the 37 time zones engraved on it - each in the 3-letter international airport code.
This is the watch for the very sophisticated world traveler enabling one to track the time of day or night at home and on the road simultaneously, in any two of 37 world time zones, while accounting correctly for Daylight Saving (DST) or Standard Time (STD) and for travel forward in time (to the East) or back in time (to the West).
All destination time and date changes made by the wearer are displayed by a Perpetual Calendar geared to register changes in both directions, forwards and backwards in time.
Glashutte Original has applied for 4 patents to protect the Flying Tourbillon, as well as other complications in this watch.
Only the Brand's ingenious ability to set out the dial in perfect balance in order to feature all its fantastic complications, allows the dial to have great legibility.
When selecting the home time, the owner sets the time zone governing his or her usual place of residence, selecting it from among 37 different world time zones on the city ring, including those that respect 30-minute (e.g. Delhi) and 45-minute offsets (e.g. Eucla), and then adjusts for Standard Time (STD) or Daylight Saving Time (DST).
The time zones on the city ring are indicated using three-letter IATA codes (international airport codes, e.g. FRA for Frankfurt am Main, LAX for Los Angeles International, DXB for Dubai, etc.) and are displayed in two small windows at 8 o&rsquo-clock on the dial, one dedicated to Standard Time (STD), the other to Daylight Saving Time (DST).
The owner then sets the Perpetual Calendar to reflect the current weekday, date, month and (leap) year.
The Tourbillon claims pride of place at 12 o'clock on this large 18K Gold dial.
Roman numerals adds to the classic tone.
Manually wound Caliber 89-01 has more than 500 components &- delivers a very adequate 72 hour power reserve.
Black Louisiana alligator strap with a Platinum deployment clasp.
Water resistant to 50 meters / 165 feet
