Mühle Glashütte - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

Mühle Glashütte is a little-known brand in France but which has a very good reputation in Germany. Established in the cradle of German watchmaking, this manufacturer makes its own in-house movements. For this Panova model (which is the entry-level model of the men's collection), Mühle has chosen to fit a Sellita SW200 movement. Yes, but (because there is a but) they decided to remove the original regulator balance module to integrate an in-house model nicknamed 'woodpeacker'. This gives a characteristic ticking sound a little more pronounced than usual and allows a drift of +4 seconds per day (no Mühle watch is late, they are all set in advance to six positions). The dial of this red version is to die for and perfect for sunny days where all you do is play with the reflections. Despite the 40mm of the case, the dial opening is quite large and allows extremely easy readability of the time with the presence of white rectangular hands! Like any nautical watch (Mühle is a brand dedicated to sailing) it has a correct water resistance of 100m with a screw-down crown! In short, an excellent watch for beautiful summer days. The only downside is its original cooked Nato-type strap which does not match the watch at all.
