Muhle Glashütte Panova

The world of simple, time-only watches covers a lot of ground.

There are dive watches, dress watches, field watches, everyday watches, and many others that defy categorization. The Panova from German brand Mühle Glashütte is one such timepiece.

You may be familiar with Mühle for their overbuilt tool watches that are designed and crafted in Germany's center for all things horology, the Saxon town of Glashütte. But the brand builds all sorts of timepieces to its notoriously high standards, including the straightforward and affordable Panova. A play on the Latin ‘panorama,’ meaning ‘view,’ and ‘via,’ meaning ‘way,’ the Panova is a perfect everyday watch that can take on a dressier or less formal aspect depending upon the strap to which it’s paired.

This particular example from the 2020s is housed in a 40mm, brushed stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal and a signed crown, giving it a decidedly tool watch-like aspect. It features a luminous sunburst grey dial with bright orange printed indices, a matching outer minute track, a highly legible matching handset, and an orange seconds hand. Powered by the workhorse automatic Sellita SW-100 movement, it comes paired to a signed brown NATO-style leather strap with a signed stainless steel pin buckle.

Boasting 100m of water resistance, good looks, high legibility, and an unbeatable movement, the Panova is a fabulous choice for the budding watch enthusiast, or for someone in need of an under-the-radar travel watch. And this one happens to come with its factory goodies.

Swiss watch industry veteran, businessman, and entrepreneur Maximilian Büsser founded his eponymous brand MB&F (“Maximilian Büsser & Friends”) in 2005 following accomplished stints at Harry Winston and Jaeger-LeCoultre. A horological laboratory of sorts, MB&F is unlike traditional watchmaking enterprises, bringing together innovators from across the industry to collaborate on “Horological Machines” and “Legacy Machines” — timekeeping devices and wristwatches that push the creative and engineering envelopes in completely new directions.
A relatively small and nimble company, MB&F crafts kinetic sculptures in partnership with some of the most learned minds in watchmaking, including Stephen McDonnell, Kari Voutilainen, L’Epée, and others, the results of which are breathtaking. Certain of these works are displayed in the company’s “M.A.D. Galleries” (“mechanical art devices”) around the world, allowing buyers, potential customers, and others to view the firm’s groundbreaking horological art in a nontraditional setting.
MB&F and its creations have been awarded by the ​​Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie de Genève — the “Oscars” of the watch world — in recognition of the firm’s creativity, spirit, and watchmaking accomplishment. Truly, there are few companies operating today whose wares can be considered as thought-provoking and innovative as those of Maximilian Büsser & Friends.
