 The Saxon Manufactory collection mirrors the exciting era of the 60s in a look that suits the times: retro-modern, elegant and independent. Striking and stylish at once, the characteristic details and form of the individual watches bring the unmistakable look of the 1960s back to life.

The domed German silver dials are galvanised in Glashütte Original's own dial manufactory and given a sunburst finish. Stylised Arabic numerals appear at hours 3, 6, 9 and 12 within a finely drawn white minute ring. Lightly curved hour and minute hands in white gold with superluminova highlighting and an elegant seconds hand assure that the time remains perfectly legible at all hours.
The pure design of the watch is enhanced by precisely milled hour indexes.

The Sixties is presented in a 39 mm polished stainless steel case, while the Sixties Panorama Date
has a 42 mm case. On this model, the white numerals of the characteristic Glashütte Original
Panorama Date
display appear on a blue ground that is perfectly matched with the colour of the
dial.

A specially formed sapphire crystal case back, which the Saxon Manufactory first presented in the Sixties collection, is a feature of the two new models as well, permitting enhanced, broader views of the Calibre 39-52, which powers the Sixties, and the Calibre 39-47, heart of the Sixties Panorama Date. Both automatic movements feature a 40 hour power reserve and are finished exquisitely to meet the Saxon watchmaker's extremely demanding standards.

Angular Momentum & Manu Propria - 2014 Year of the Horse


Angular Momentum & Manu Propria - 2014 Year of the Horse NEW

2014 the Chinese Year of the Horse

Many people are awaiting the year of the horse because the horse is considered a very strong and positive sign.
Already early this years I have noticed a growing demand for timepieces with horse theme.

Therefore I have already released a Métiers d'Art Timepiece with  a miniature painting of a Furious White Horse, representing the character of the sign



















































The Horse
It is said, that the horse is Exciting and extroverted, vivid and animated, the Horse is the life of any party he attends. He is bursting with energy, always looking for the next place to kick up his heels and hang loose. He entertains friends and strangers alike with his humor and appeal.
Horse people are extemporaneous and quick-witted. They are quite intelligent and use their practicality to their advantage in their business and personal lives. Their sharpness makes them quick to pick up new skills and are able to handle many tasks at one time. However, this ambition can be harmful because Horse people often don't finish what they start for fear of missing out on the next big challenge.
Horses are trustworthy, friendly and open-minded. They are good friends to have and will always be honest with you. Although they are good confidants, Horse people do enjoy their alone time and are usually independent people. They can struggle with obstinance and self-centeredness, which can lead to a flare of the temper if they don't get their way. Usually, after an episode or temper-tantrum a Horse can feel remorse, yet not all people will be able to forgive their reaction.
