Glashtte Original SIXTIES
LIKE A SUNA veritable ball of fire graces the dial of two new watches from the Saxony-based brand, combining the full force of typical 1960s design. A shade which makes your wrist pop!The Sixties collection by Glashtte Original stands out for its styling from the 1960s, a period filled with creative freedom in all areas. In 2018, it wooed watch and design aficionados with a vibrant shade of green covering the face of two of its timepieces. The Saxony-based brand have done it again, this time opting for the warm glow of a summer sun, once again available in a duo both regulated by mechanical self-winding movements.A veritable ball of fire has descended upon the range, leaving its orange mark on the dials of the Sixties and the Sixties Date Panorama. Each disk is embossed using a press to obtain this characteristic structure in relief, then galvanized in a golden hue before being lacquered in red and black and then kiln-fired to burn in the colors. The result? The golden yellow at the center flows over the contours blending into an orange-red before turning carmine red and black at the edge of the domed dial. A trio of silver baton-style hands indicate the hours, minutes and seconds, completed by a large window at 6 o'clock which displays the date in white on a black background in one of the two models.The polished steel cases measure 39 (Sixties) and 42?mm in diameter (Sixties Date Panorama) and house the 39-52 and 39-47 calibers respectively, which both vibrate at a frequency of 4?Hz and offer a power reserve of 40 hours.This fiery sun is worn on the wrist with a chocolate brown alligator strap completed with a steel pin buckle.Price: 6,400?EUR (three hands) 7,900?EUR (date)By Sharmila Bertin
