Glashutte Original Sixties Chronograph Annual Edition - 1-39-34-08-22-04

Glashütte Original presents the Sixties Chronograph Annual Edition in purple. Its dial picks up a color motif that since the 1960s has inspired album covers, the names of bands, and song titles that have made history in popular music – a rich shade of violet whose texture is enhanced by refined embossing. The Manufactory Calibre 39-34 provides the rhythm, its quiet ticking reminding us that the Annual Edition, although rooted in the Sixties, taps out the pulse of the present with every second. The purple dial is meticulously crafted. Thin strips of bronze form the base of the Sixties Chronograph’s purple dial. An embossing stamp first gives them a refined texture before the dial blank is cut out and fitted with tiny bore holes. Subsequent milling allows the characteristic “vinyl” finish to appear: fine, parallel grooves form a pattern that evokes vinyl record albums. The dial is then carefully domed and given a galvanic coat of gold. At this point, colour comes into play: translucent purple lacquer is applied by hand and then fired in a kiln. As for the Sixties Chronograph dial, the hour indexes are not applied or printed – the usual methods – but manually incised in the domed and lacquered dial.
