Glashutte Original has created a new timekeeping companion – an eminently refined pocket watch that boasts a quarter-hour repetition mechanism. The
Glashutte Original Pocket Watch No. 1 has been inspired by a historical watch created by
Julius Assmann, a celebrated pioneer of Glashutte watchmaking. It will be limited to just 25 pieces.
The Pocket Watch No. 1, sculptured in rose gold, is characterized by high watchmaking standards, an innovative construction and highly appealing design. The zest of the timepiece is the
quarter-hour repetition, sounding the quarter hours and hours. First, the repetition indicates the number of hours that have already passed using one tone. Then, it indicates the elapsed quarter hours since the last hour using the second higher tone.
The case incorporates a special
lever at 6 o’clock to be used for the repetition operation. The crown is used for winding the timepiece, while the two-level yoke winding mechanism is used for setting the time. It is remarkable that, for accurate setting, when the crown is pulled out, the balance wheel is halted and the eccentric seconds hand jumps to “zero”.

skeletonized central rotor presents gilt double-G brand insignia and boasts a 21-karat gold mass, intended for optimizing the winding motion.
Due to a balance frequency amounting to 28, 800 vibrations per hour, the chronograph can measure certain time intervals within the accuracy of 1/8th second. The power reserve constitutes 40 hours.
