BaselWorld 2012: Grande Cosmopolite Tourbillon Watch by Glashütte Original

Saxon watch company Glashütte Original at the world exhibition BaselWorld 2012 has presented its delightful watch Grande Cosmopolite Tourbillon.
The novelty was produced by brand’s designers and watchmakers after long and intensive developments. This is perhaps the most unusual and complicated watch in the history of the company Glashütte Original. Talented craftsmen were able to fit in a model of 37 time zones, turning it into a miracle of technology, which allows travelers day and night to track time at home and in 37 time zones, taking into account daylight saving time (DST) and winter time (STD ), and also move forward in time (moving east) and back (moving westward). Changes of the date and time are reflected in the perpetual calendar, which is connected to the register of changes in both directions (forward and backward).

Grande Cosmopolite Tourbillon and winder

The peak of the original combination of complications, which were first embodied in mechanical watches, is a delightful "flying" tourbillon, created in 1920 by the famous master of the city Glashyutte - Alfred Hellwig.
It should be noted that the manufactory Glashütte Original has filed patent applications, in the result of which the admirers of exclusive watches will see a delightful piece of watchmaking art in a limited edition of 25 items.
The original novelty is designed for those who like to travel around the world. The owner of this watch has the ability to track time at place of their permanent residence, as well as the destination, and the local time remains the same starting point and displayed on a 24-hour dial, located at the 6 o’clock.
Time at the destination may be considered in the center of the main dial. For worked accurately and showed the time in all time zones, the owner must first set an hour and minute of the local time, and only then synchronize it with the time at the destination.
The owner must choose his time zone from the 37, including the cities with the 30-minute shift (e.g., Delhi) and 45-minute shift (Yukla), and then choose either the standard winter time (STD), or daylight saving time (DST).
Time zones are designated by codes IATA, approved by the International Air Transport Association (codes of international airports, for example, FRA - for the airport in Frankfurt-am-Main, LAX - for the Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, DXB - for the airport in Dubai, etc.) that are represented in two small apertures, located on the dial at the 8 o’clock position. The first of these apertures is provided for setting the standard winter time, and the second - for the summer time.
After establishing the time the owner must correct the days of the week, date, month and year (including leap year) in an eternal calendar.
The novelty Grande Cosmopolite Tourbillon is equipped with the exclusive mechanism to set the time in the final point of his journey, or just find out the time in a different time zone. If the owner of the watch goes to the east, he need to rotate the crown, located at the 2 o’clock position, clockwise. If he goes to the west, he must rotate the crown counterclockwise. In that case, if the time at your destination is ahead or behind local time on a day, so counters on five displays of the perpetual calendar change accordingly.

Another feature of the mechanism allows you to cope with the transition from 1st March to 29th or 28th February.
The gorgeous novelty affects not only with its functions, but also an excellent design execution.
The massive case, which diameter is 48 mm, made of platinum. All pointers are placed on the dial of 18-karat gold, silver grained, train-shaped framing with black Roman numerals. At the 6 o’clock position is an additional 24-hour dial of the local time, which is in harmony with the time dials in the final point of travel. "Floating" minute tourbillon is at the 12 o'clock position.
The dial is protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal.
The back side of the watch is protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal and an additional platinum cover with the decor in the form of IATA codes, responsible for 37 time zones.
The model is assembled on the basis of the caliber 89-01, consisting of 500 components and equipped with a 72-hour power reserve.
The novelty is supplied on a black alligator strap with platinum folding clasp.
To buy the Grande Cosmopolite Tourbillon watch will be available in a hand-made oak winder. One side of the box is decorated with a globe made of stainless steel, framed by several maps, symbols of past and future travels around the world.
The owner of the Grande Cosmopolite Tourbillon watch may also order the individual decor of the ring time zones, taking into account the Code of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), assigned to his hometown.

 Glashutte Original    

It is amazing but in the whole Switzerland the definition of manufacture can be just Jaeger-LeCoultre, and Saxon town Glashutte became the house of two manufactures. They refer to the most original and advanced manufactures in watch industry. There are Glashutte Original manufacture among them.
