1893 Johannes Dürrstein Edition "Double Moon Phase"

Traditional Glashütte Watchmaking Craftsmanship

With the 1893 Johannes Dürrstein Edition „Double moon phase“ UNION GLASHÜTTE expands the 1893 line with another timepiece. The collection combines the art of watchmaking, modern precision, and the visionary spirit of the company’s founder, Johannes Dürrstein. Since 1893, his philosophy has stood for the highest precision, masterful craftsmanship, and the courage to realize extraordinary horological ideas.

The timepiece, inspired by historic pocket watches, places a fascinating and sophisticated complication at its center: the „Double moon phase“ This feature allows the lunar cycles of both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres to be viewed simultaneously. It creates a universal perspective on time entirely in keeping with the watchmaking tradition that has always defined UNION GLASHÜTTE.

The double moon phase forms the visual centerpiece of the dial, which is stylistically inspired by traditional silver-plating techniques. Rendered in a warm champagne tone with a finely grained, velvety surface, it creates a vivid sense of depth that subtly changes depending on the light. Engraved Roman numerals enhance this effect with a delicate three-dimensional appearance. They emphasize the refined, classic character of the watch, which is harmoniously and elegantly completed by a brown leather strap.

Historically Inspired, Contemporary in Interpretation

At its heart beats the newly developed manual winding caliber UNG-58.S2, which brings traditional Glashütte watchmaking to life in an authentic way. The three quarter plate fully manufactured, finished, and assembled in Glashütte represents the manufacture’s high level of vertical integration and defines the movement’s distinctive appearance. The integrated full calendar, combined with the moon phase display, merges functional complexity with precise mechanics and highlights the model’s high horological standards. The „Doppelmondphase“ also forms a bridge between past and present, drawing inspiration from historical models while being reinterpreted in a contemporary context.

Classic Design with a Clear Aesthetic

The 1893 Johannes Dürrstein Edition „Double moon phase“ is designed for those, who appreciate a timepiece that combines classic styling with a clear, refined design. The model is a tribute to more than 130 years of Glashütte watchmaking craftsmanship and to the idea of not only measuring time, but making its full fascination visible.
