Two Saxon manufactures, one dial. Glashutte Original's Senator Meissen Cherry Blossom pairs a 0.8 mm hand-painted Meissen porcelain dial with the 100-hour automatic Calibre 36-16 in a 40 mm red-gold case, ref. 1-36-16-05-05-01, arriving October 2026.
Glashütte Original answers its North America-exclusive panda Seventies X with the mirror image: the Seventies Chronograph XV, a matt black lacquered dial with silver galvanised totalisers in the 40mm TV-shaped steel case. Inside is the in-house calibre 37-02, an integrated column-wheel flyback chronograph with silicon hairspring and 70 hours of power reserve. Limited to 100 pieces for Germany, Austria and Switzerland at EUR 17,100.
Glashütte Original's annual Sixties Chronograph turns purple for 2026 — a translucent hand-lacquered galvanic dial over hand-galvanised gold, manually incised hour markers, and the brand's in-house Calibre 39-34 with a swan-neck-regulated three-quarter plate, all in a 42 mm polished-steel case. Reference 1-39-34-08-22-04, priced at USD 10,000, available now from May 2026 for one year only before leaving the catalogue. The most dial-craft-intensive annual chronograph the manufacture has produced since 2021.
