Glashutte Original Grande Cosmopolite Tourbillon (1-89-01-03-03-04)

Watch Details

The Grande Cosmopolite Tourbillon is one of the highlights of the Glashutte Original collection and it is the most complicated model to date for the German brand.

This exquisitely complicated wonder enables the world traveller to track the time of day or night at home and on the road simultaneously, in any two of 37 world time zones, while accounting correctly for Daylight Saving (DST) or Standard Time (STD) and for travel forward in time (to the East) or back in time (to the West). All destination time and date changes made by the wearer are displayed by a Perpetual Calendar geared to register changes in both directions, forward and backward in time. This unique combination of complications - an absolute world first in mechanical watches - is crowned by the extraordinary Flying Minute Tourbillon.

Glashutte Original has applied for four separate patents to protect the expertise that made this unique work of art possible. This exclusive masterpiece is limited to 25 pieces worldwide.

The home time remains an unchanging point of reference and is presented at 6 o’clock on a dedicated 24-hour dial with a day/night indicator.

The destination time appears at the centre of the main dial and tracks the local time at a given location away from home.

To begin using this exceptional timepiece, the owner first sets the hour and minute of the home time, which is followed by the synchronization of the home and destination times.

When selecting the home time, the owner sets the time zone governing his or her usual place of residence, selecting it from among 37 different world time zones on the city ring, including those that respect 30-minute (e.g. Delhi, Caracas) and 45-minute offsets (e.g. Eucla), and then adjusts for Standard Time (STD) or Daylight Saving Time (DST).

The time zones on the city ring are indicated using three-letter IATA codes (international airport codes, e.g. FRA for Frankfurt am Main, LAX for Los Angeles International, DXB for Dubai, etc.) and are displayed in two small windows at 8 o’clock on the dial, one dedicated to Standard Time (STD), the other to Daylight Saving Time (DST).

The owner then sets the Perpetual Calendar to reflect the current weekday, date, month and (leap) year.

The extraordinary mechanics of the Grande Cosmopolite Tourbillon are set in motion by the traveller who wishes to change the destination time or who wants to simply observe an additional time zone.

If heading East (forwards in time), the traveller turns the crown positioned at 2 o’clock clockwise; if travelling West (back in time), the crown is turned counter-clockwise.

Possible changes of the time zones will not cause a problem for the master watchmakers and construction engineers at Glashutte Original in the near future. To the contrary, as a service to its customers, the Saxon watch manufactory will gladly exchange the city ring should there be a change to the time zones in the future. A special personalization is offered to the proud owner who can have his home town – in the form of an IATA code - printed on the city ring.

The 24-hour home time display at 6 o’clock joins the destination time displays in a functional array crowned by an outstanding example of the watchmaker’s art: the Flying Minute Tourbillon, developed in 1920 by one of Glashutte’s most admired master watchmakers and teachers, Alfred Helwig.

The back of the 48mm platinum case frames an antireflective sapphire crystal offering a clear view of this most complicated of manually wound movements, the Glashutte Original manufactory Calibre 89-01 with more than 500 components.

The base plate features characteristic Glashutte stripe finish, screw-mounted gold chatons, winding wheels with double sunburst decoration and the 72-hour power reserve display. The case back is protected by a platinum hunter case fitted with a graphic presenting 37 time zones, each represented by a three-letter IATA airport code.

I used the altimeter function on a ski trip, it was easy to operate and easy to read. I plan to use it this summer when hiking in the high country.
