Hidden Gems | Glashutte Original Panoreserve | Crown & Caliber

Glashutte Original has appeared on Hidden Gems before, and for good reason we're back to show you another stunning example from the German Manufacturer. The Panoreserve is often spoken of in the same breath as the Lange 1, and rightfully so. But the watch should not be overlooked just because it is not from the other esteemed German brand.

This has quickly become one of, if not my favorite horological series out there. Fantastic job.

[@CrownandCaliber]

Cannot tell you how nice that is to read, will try and keep up the good work - Mark

[@frankdaneluzzi3503]

I was introduced to this brand over 28 years ago and is still in my humble opinion the finest example of craftsmanship and still attainable prices.

[@derekrolle6705]

GO is amazing and the Pano line is incredible. Definitely deserves more credit on the finishing and the design language.

[@chrisdavis8399]

The Panoreserve Moonphase is my grail watch. Absolutely stunning!! Thanks so much for highlighting Glashutte!

[@CrownandCaliber]

Great choice of a grail, I think the entire Pano line are worth a look - Mark

[@fishmonger1908]

The Panomatic lunar is my next watch. I just can't decide which one, though I'm leaning towards the green dial. Hope you get one soon, Chris!

@@gavinjager9908 Niiiiice!!!!! Congrats, bud! Believe it or not, I came home from a fishing trip (I captain commercial scallopers in New England) and my wife and son surprised me with a scavenger hunt. At the end of the trail of clues was the green dial Panomatic lunar! Its every bit the watch it appears to be. Could. Not. Be. Happier! Enjoy it, Gavin!

Hi Mark & everyone else at Crown & Caliber that contributes to these exceptionally well executed vids. Always enjoy these series for their succinct yet very informative content. Keep up the great work you all do and please keep them coming!

[@CrownandCaliber]

Thank you so much, I will make sure to pass the message on to Jonathan and Joe - Mark

[@briceepl]

Having owned that exact watch for a few years, I 100% agree with you. When you take it for what it is, it’s a great watch, almost alone in its category, and a very good value for money ! (And a lot more versatile than its "big sister"…)

[@travisreese7229]

That was awesome and upped my appreciation through a simple education told with genuine regard for craftsmanship. Well done.

[@CrownandCaliber]

That is the exact goal, I love when that comes across. Thank you - Mark

[@juniorjr5328]

Best watch in movement finishing and big date at this price range.

[@greggbull9543]

Thank you Mark for a fantastic video, I have a gorgeous 70’s GO on a metal bracelet with a blue dial face I absolutely love. I have other great watches but the quality of my GO is second to none, thanks for showcasing a true hidden gem.

[@Greg-rq1yx]

I have the same watch and agree it's stunning! The blue gradient dial and white gold arrowhead hour markers constantly shimmer and radiate in the light. Best 10mm adjustable bracelet mechanism the watch world! GO is superior to many Swiss brands.

[@jollyrob]

@@Greg-rq1yx Lucky guys, that's THE watch I yearn for.

[@CrownandCaliber]

The 70's are some funky watches with a surprisingly good build quality. They impressed me when I first tried one on. Great taste you have - Mark

[@fredrickwerstein546]

Incredible value for what you get ina Glashutte Original watch. They're not for everyone, but a better watch will be difficult to find anywhere! Nice video recognizing one of the top watch manufacturers in the world!

[@brianwca]

I think the best part of these videos is your enthusiasm. Keep 'em like that and this series will continue to be fantastic.

[@lancehatch4475]

I am learning so much from this series. Thanks!

[@CrownandCaliber]

Glad to see that, we try and bring some appreciation to watches that do not always get the attention they deserve - Mark

[@Pindi44]

Wonderful presentation, thanks. You enhanced my enjoyment of this work of art tremendously.

[@balesjo]

Glashutte Original became my grail watch brand if I ever hit the jackpot! I feel it's an overlooked luxury brand what has some of the most beautiful designs and movements out there.

[@jamesseavers7378]

[@caliberyqg2137]

Fantastic video. Glashutte Original is highly underrated.

[@carlopavanello8377]

I very rarely leave comments. But i really wanna point out how I appreciate C&C and this series in particular. Please keep up the good work. Greeting from italy!

[@sabrewulfgouki7635]

I'm new to luxury watches & without knowing the unfavorable comparisons between A. Lange & Glashutte, I more readily gravitated toward GO. I will attain 1 someday. Great video, thanks for posting!

[@OPMDK]

Bravo Mark, fantastic discussion

[@andreaiacolina]

This brand is one of my favorite and your interesting video explains very well why. Yesterday I was in Lugano and I was looking at all the watches in the shops and I stared at the display windows of Glashuette Original for a pretty long time, because their watches are really amazing. Maybe one day I will have one in my humble collection.

[@CrownandCaliber]

They really are grail watch level, good luck on the journey and I hope you get to own one eventually - Mark

[@uga.d4173]

Had a hard time watching the second half of the video through the tears from the first half of the video... that engraving. **sniff**

[@CrownandCaliber]

That engraving is the reason they made the Panoreverse, showing off the movement at all times - Mark

[@ryanelectra225]

Great video! Nice to learn more about this brand. I had a Sport Evo Panorama Date years ago, very nice watch. Also had an outstanding bracelet

[@Degarth]

I have Senator Chronograph XL and a Senator Diary, GO. Really underappreciated watchmaker. They both wear very easy for admittedly larger wearing watches.

[@TwentyOne_Five]

So true!!

[@liamcusack5475]

Excellent video

[@dsguidolin]

Great Video... love these hidden gems... I have a GO PanoInverse and now you are making me think I should get a Panomatic Lunar..

[@BartMan59]

I have a near vintage GO Sport Evolution Sport GMT - BIG date and you're absolutely correct. When you compare an ALS-1 with their big date and all ALS big dates are, iMHO, HIDEOUS. Can you imagine paying the money for any big date ALS and have a BLANK on dates 1-9, whereas GO has a number 0 on dates 1-9. Great vid, Thank you

[@Roy-vh9rp]

Best date in the business

[@konstantin9615]

Absolutely agree!

[@StefanoMaggio]

Best hidden Gems yet, love this brand, but i didn't know how much in-house there was behind it. Thanks for that, i now love it even more

[@CrownandCaliber]

Thank you, felt good filming glad that came through - Mark

[@ihopetowin]

Fine video and your presentation is easily among the best. I think GO create watches that capture the imagination. I really enjoy looking at GO's variety and I'll be buying one soon following much consideration over other makers.

[@thomasschneider2286]

Please bring back Hidden Gems

[@123ILoveOpium]

Looks like their movement is also finished on the dial side in the video. Cool

[@cjroberts1000]

You sounded quite passionate about that particular hidden gem Mark. More so though than usual…

[@CrownandCaliber]

Honestly a Pano from Glashutte Original is one my very short list of watches I want to own in the near future. It is hard to overstate how nice these watches are even before you compare them to others in the same price bracket - Mark

[@markusknorr6497]

I love the panomatic series very much but my wrist is 22 cm, the SeaQ Panoramadate just fits better on my big wrist. I think 42 mm is the smalest i can go and the Panomatic Calender is way out of my price range. My next Watch will be the SeaQ with blue dial on a bracelet but i dont give up on a dress watch from GO. Thanks for the very good review.

[@aminreviews2311]

Excellent video! Hoping to buy a Panomatic lunar within the next year

[@CrownandCaliber]

fantastic version of the Pano line, good luck with getting the watch you want - Mark

[@threethrushes]

Did you get one?

[@dannysimenauer5745]

WOW! I had no idea how well GEO watches are made! Why does the watch part of the dial use only a tiny bit of the dial surface versus Swiss watches that use the entire dual to present the time? I can speculate, but I thought you might know the real reason.

[@CrownandCaliber]

It is just a design choice, Jaquet Droz also have watches that do not take up the entire dal for time telling and they are a storied swiss brand. -Mark

Fantastic presentation and overview of the brand. I’ve always been a fan of the Panoreserve; elegant, sophisticated, and meticulously designed.

100% agree

[@madisonnewyork]

Great content , very informative . One little ding though, let me see the damn thing on your wrist lol !

[@JoeyJiggles]

POP QUIZ: which company designed this style dial with the big date FIRST?! Glashutte or A Lange

[@CrownandCaliber]

Lange had the Lange 1 with a big date as part of the original 1994 lineup, Glashutte introduced the Panoreserve with the big date in 2001. Lange did the big date first, but Glashutte did it best. - Mark

[@JoeyJiggles]

@@CrownandCaliber bang! Thanks Mark!!

[@JoeyJiggles]

@@CrownandCaliber so Mark, the Panoreserve style dial was done by Glaschutte first?!

[@CrownandCaliber]

@@JoeyJiggles Lange first with the Lange 1 - Mark

[@JoeyJiggles]

@@CrownandCaliber got it! I was just curious to see if Glachutte did anything original - guess not. Just shows Lange is the King in Germany! Great work.

[@thetravelingnomad6203]

At this price point however I try, the 42 hour reseve, keeps telling me nope. So sad cause I do love/want it.

[@benjovic7498]

Hey Mark, what are your thoughts on the PanoMaticLunar steel (looks great but only 42h power reserve) vs Senator Excellence Panorama Date Moon Phase (looks like missing something on the dial, but has the 100h power reserve)? Similar price range. The Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar is a bit over my budget.

[@Mark_Hackman]

I would say not everything boils down to power reserve, but they are both fantastic watches. I own a PanoMatic Lunar myself, but the Senator is a really underappreciated watch. The silver dial on the Senator has a really soft texture to it that is hard to capture in photos and really blew me away when I saw it in person.

[@aaroncunningham6756]

The video missed one point. A (white) gold GO used is 50% off and a SS Rolex is 1x-3x list (still). Besides the brand and the watches being the actual hidden gem, the used prices (outside the SeaQ) are almost criminal. Hodinkee should do a LE with GO and get the name out there more. Just saying (my idea so pre-reserving one)... One last comment, I would say German watchmaking writ large is a hidden gem (Moon-Swatch gets more press in a week than GO gets in a year)!

[@Milofchg]

JLC does everything in-house also

[@WH-hi5ew]

Great watch... would be even better if (a) they produced a 38mm version, it is a dress watch after all. (b) They slimmed it down a bit... its pretty chunky as it is. (c) There are 5-6 different fonts on the dial... this should again be reduced down to 2-3.

[@khphou]

Wish they would stop the trend using the silicon hairspring in their senator execellence.

[@taidouhuang7692]

After this nice video, not only I appreciate GO a lot more but also realize, seems it will be a pain in the ass to services the movement/watch since it is almost 100% in house (including the screws) .

[@Milofchg]

I really like Glashutte original. Amazing timepieces but yes, it's the German Tudor to A Lange. Nothing wrong with that. Glashutte are doing their own thing, but.... for me I just can't look pass the Glashutte font logo. For me everything is perfect but that logo script. Sorry, it ruins it for me.

so basically here you are just chopping up and regurgitating GO's own (old) promotional video about their manufacturing...?
