An interesting interview with Glashutte Original CEO Yann Gamard.
I like his explanation for the double G logo meaning. One G looks at the past and the other G stares at the future. |

Hi GO folks, I was organizing the photographs on my phone and I found the wto shots below. Not the best quality but nice blue on white contrast.
Any new additions out there? Share with us! IMG_20160521_160751 - Copy.jpg IMG_2932 - Copy.jpg |

Yes there is but you have to wait a few weeks for the report.

Anyway, good observation on the lume scheme. It does not make munch sense to have the lume on the hour markers and not on the hands. We'll have to see what Jocke reports back from Basel. That post is more than 1 year old and the OP never followed up. Hopefully he/she got the PML and is enjoying it! |

Gorgeous! The 70's line is growing on me.
I recently bought a Spezichron, the 'poor' father of the 70s (at least from the stylistic point of view). IMG_4246.jpg |

^ That is a wonderful ancestor!
1970s may get bad rap for _some_ fashion, but the decade has given us some excellent design ideas. GO 70s does not disappoint in that regard. Given the second hand prices, I may pick up a blue one too :-) |

Given that we cant see your shoes, we'll just have to take your word for it — for all we know, you could be sitting there barefooted. |

Why did they have to replace the dial? |

Thankfully, all it cost me was an extra two months of waiting for the dial to be readied, I cringe to think about how much it would have cost me otherwise. |

New offerings from GO at Baselworld 2017.
Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar GO4.jpg Senator Chronometer Panorama Date GO3.jpg Although, it is great to have the perpetual movement now in the Excellence line, I am not too fond of the aesthetics with the small subdial at 12 o'clock. Similarly for the Chronometer... that subdial at 12 o'clock makes the dial busy and unbalanced in my eyes. |

And the Seventies Panorama Date disappeared from the new GO website. Not a trace. Does anyone know what's happened to it? Maybe it's being replaced this year with a new model?

I ask them about the Seventies Panorama Date and it's still in production. If you check the website so at the vintage collection
there is a field at the right side that says more "timepieces will follow" because thay rebuild their site at the moment and not every model is there. So it will be there again soon.
