While this top-notch German watch brand has produced a world-time Cosmopolitan watch for several years, the all-new sequel is crafted in stainless steel with a more minimalist dial design. The 44mm watch displays home time in a subdial at 12 o'clock. This subdial is harmoniously balanced with a seconds subdial at 6 o'clock. At 8 o'clock, two display windows show the destination, or second time zone, using international airport codes, along with displays for daylight saving and standard time. Nearby, 9 o'clock has a newly designed day/night indicator with the sun and night sky of the second time zone. The time-zone ring that depicts the airport codes offers 36 time zones (including those with 30-minute differentiations) - with the primary 24 zones listed in blue and the remaining in red. Home time is set with the crown at 2 o'clock, and the current time is set using the crown at 8 o'clock, making it easy to use.

Made in Germany' is a label that signifies durability, and the timepieces created by Glashütte Original are no exception. Unlike Swiss watchmakers, the wheel bridge that has been branded in Glashütte's watches since 1864 covers three-quarters of the movement's surface to ensure a more stable construction of movement. Its intricate screw balance mechanism that forms the oscillation system, swan-neck fine adjustment used to regulate the watch and famed stripe finish found on all Glashütte's watches, further exemplify the undying attention attributed to its craft, both internally and aesthetically.The recent PanMaticCalendar watch, crafted in platinum and of caliber 92-10, spotlights the brand's sophistication through its skeletonized movement and moonphase display. Equally impressive collections include the Senator, Spezialist and Vintage lines.
