GLASSHUTTE ORIGINAL PanoInverse XL
The Glashütte Original PanoInverse XL was introduced at Basel 2008. It uses a manufacture Caliber 66 hand wound movement. The hand-engraved duplex swan-neck bridge is visually impressive. Although what is even more impressive, is the large balance wheel that oscillates below the bridge 28,800 times per hour.
The case is made in a polished 18k white gold (shown) or 18k rose gold. The time is displayed by two gold on black off-centered subdials. A blued-steel hand at one o'clock indicates the amount of power reserved in the mainspring. Blued-steel screws and gold jeweled settings around the dial, give this watch a nice finishing touch.

I reviewed this watch "in the steel" last weekend at an AD in the Northeastern US. This is a fantastic watch with all of GO's technical mastery as one would expect. However I am not so much captivated by the black sub hour/time dials which do not seem to aesthetically pull the watch together as I hoped they would. Overall, though, the watch is very impressive.
Thanks for sharing,
Kyle
