Why are Glashütte Original Chronograph Watches so Popular?

Chronograph watches, including those crafted by Glashütte Original, seamlessly blend timekeeping and precision measurement into one compact wristwatch. Chronographs are popular among race car drivers, athletes, pilots, and anyone who needs to accurately time events or activities. The longstanding appeal of chronographs lies not only in their ability to tell time but also in their additional stopwatch function. This feature serves various purposes, from timing sporting events to tracking elapsed intervals in daily life. Whether measuring lap times on a racetrack or monitoring cooking durations in the kitchen, chronographs offer practical utility with a touch of elegance.

Glashütte Original chronographs are a marvel to behold. They offer finishing that matches and oftentimes exceeds, timepieces that are double and even triple their price. Because virtually all of their components, including their movements, are made in-house, Glashütte Original chronographs offer extended power reserves, powerful antimagnetic properties, and slimmer case dimensions than most of their competition.

In terms of finishing, Glashütte Original offers true high horology, with anglage, perlage, mirror polishing, engraving, guilloché (engine-turning), gem-setting, and enameling, all predominantly crafted and finished by hand—a rarity at their price point. There's no doubt as to why Glashütte Original chronographs are so popular!

Most Iconic Glashütte Original Chronograph Watches

Finding the right watch can be overwhelming, and when a manufacturer has a larger catalog, like Glashütte Original, choosing the best piece can be a difficult endeavor. At Exquisite Timepieces, we are here to best serve our customers, so we’ve included a list of five of the most iconic Glashütte Original chronograph watches below.

Glashütte Original Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date (ref. 1-37-02-08-02-70)

The seventies were a period of avant-garde design, aesthetically and artistically, and this much rings true for watchmaking, too. Integrated steel sports watches were first conceptualized by the genius of Gerald Genta in the seventies, and many of the most famous watchmakers released steel sports watches that were at least partially inspired by his original designs. The Glashütte Original Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date is an ode to the steel sports watches of the seventies, wrapped up in a sleek stainless steel 40mm case with a screw-down crown and 100m of water resistance.

The Calibre 37-02, manufactured in-house, offers 70 hours of power reserve, superb finishing, and hand bevelling. It has a sunray finished blue dial and multiple strap options to compliment the stainless steel integrated bracelet. The combination of flyback capability, a numerical chronograph hours display, and a big date also make this watch intricate and useful, packing a ton of mechanical ingenuity into a $15,300 package.

Glashütte Original Senator Chronograph Panorama Date (ref. 1-37-01-05-02-35)

A dressier take on the chronograph watch, the Glashütte Original Senator Chronograph Panorama Date is both cutting-edge and timeless. The timelessness is attributed to the Roman numeral indices at the 6 and 12, the mirror-polish finish on the case, and the classic dial layout. At 42mm in diameter, this stainless steel timepiece offers tangible wrist presence, all while not being too loud or attention-grabbing.

The cutting-edge qualities of this watch come down to movement technology, and the in-house Calibre 37-1 offers regulator free adjustment, 70 hours of power reserve, and a mouthful of functionality: hour and minute indication alongside a stop-second chronograph, small seconds, 30-minute and 12-hour counters, a panorama date feature, power reserve display, and flyback functionality. At $14,200, the Glashütte Original Senator Chronograph Panorama Date is perhaps one of the best price propositions in all of luxury chronograph watchmaking.

Glashütte Original PanomaticCounter XL (ref. 1-96-01-02-02-04)

For the enthusiast looking for the ultimate chronograph, showcasing dizzying amounts of technology, functionality, and wrist presence, the Glashütte Original PanomaticCounter XL is the ultimate chronograph watch. At 44mm in diameter, and 16mm in thickness, this is a stainless steel watch that is meant to be worn, shown off, and discussed. The watch features a distinctive dial layout with hour and minute display on an off-center subdial above 6 o’clock, complemented by white gold hands and numerals.

Above this, the chronograph stop seconds are highlighted on a raised chapter ring, enhancing depth perception. Two additional sub-dials at 10 and 2 o’clock track running seconds and elapsed chronograph minutes, respectively. Apertures at 3 and 9 o’clock house the Panorama date display and counter complication, offering unique functionalities within the PanoMaticCounter XL. With an MSRP of $23,700, this timepiece offers incredible value when considering all of its features.

Glashütte Original Sixties Chronograph (ref. 1-39-34-02-22-04)

The sixties was a time period of elegant watch designs, and Glashütte Original’s Sixties Chronograph, with its deep black dial and rhodium-plated hands, offers beauty in simplicity. The in-house Calibre 39-34 has 38 hours of power reserve and is finely decorated with striped finishing, beveled edges, and a skeletonized rotor. At 42mm in diameter, with only 12mm of thickness, this stainless steel chronograph will easily slip under a cuff. The chronograph functionality offers small seconds and a 30-minute counter. In terms of price and value, this can be considered an entry-level offering from Glashütte Original, with an MSRP of only $8,400.

Glashütte Original PanoGraph (ref. 61-03-25-15-05)

The manual winding Glashütte Original PanoGraph is as elegant and refined as a chronograph can be. It has a 18k red gold 40mm case and a Louisiana Alligator strap. The movement is a wonder to behold, with hand finished edges, engraving, and perlage a plenty. The watch also offers a big date, small seconds sundial, and a unique sundial which acts as a chronograph. The Glashütte Original PanoGraph showcases a gracefully arched 30-minute chronograph totaliser on its upper right segment.

This innovative feature comprises three distinct tracks – spanning from 0 to 10, 10 to 20, and 20 to 30. Within the arched window, three rose gold pointers, each with a distinctive length and a red tip, denote the elapsed minutes according to their respective tracks, elegantly rising to display the passage of time. With a starting price of $30,400, the Glashütte Original PanoGraph is true in-house high horology at an approachable price.
