The Lunova Tag Datum by Mühle-Glashütte gives you an extra choice if you’re looking for a watch smart enough for business use but has sports-level toughness, namely a 100-metre water resistance. It is superficially similar to the Lunova Datum, but in addition to the indication of the day of the week, it also differs in…
The Lunova Datum by Mühle-Glashütte is part of the new Lunova family introduced in 2017, hallmarked by cases that have a larger proportion of polished surfaces than is usual for the brand, and a graded dial. The result is a watch that is both sporty and classical, equally at home on a boat or in…
In 2017 Mühle-Glashütte presented their new Lunova collection. The name is based on the Latin words “lumen” and “nova,” light and new. The watches in this range all have cases made by Mühle-Glashütte, with a total polished finish or a high proportion of surfaces with polished finish. They also have graded dials and a pilot’s…
Mühle-Glashütte have extended their range with some sports-inspired watches such as this Teutonia Sport II, directly derived from automotive sports. There is some company history behind this: in the 1920s, Mühle & Sohn were making speedometers, rev counters and dashboard clocks for car brands. The automotive spirit is expressed above all by the colour scheme,…
The new Teutonia Sport I by Mühle-Glashütte is the sports version of the Teutonia family, and so it joins the vast sector of automotive-inspired watchs. The touches of red on dial and strap provide an immediate identification with motor sports, reinforced by the technical-looking strap texture and the nice red piston-ring groove on the pushers.…
Glashütte is a small German town with a large number of watch manufacturers working independently one from another, but bound together by the town’s turbulent history. Their shared DNA can often be seen in certain design characteristics that go beyond just the words “Glashütte” and “Made in Germany,” and lots of umlauts. The Robert Mühle…
Mühle-Glashütte specialize in nautical instruments, and even their everyday watches reveal this influence. The 29er Zeigerdatum is named after a class of racing dinghies, and its colours and textile strap give it a distinctly nautical appearance. Instead of a date window, this model has the banker’s date layout, with a crescent-shaped hand. Hour and minute…
The ProMare Lady is Mühle-Glashütte’s first watch made for women, but it’s for tough women. With respect to the ProMare Datum, the case is smaller and slimmer at 39 mm, 10.6 mm thickness, in stainless steel with polished and satin finish. The crown protector creates a distinctive motif, and colours are restricted to the delicate…
The Teutonia III Handaufzug Kleine Sekunde by Mühle-Glashütte is a very classical men’s watch, with the fluted bezel, chemin de fer minute track and small seconds subdial that give it an unmistakable historical look. The enamel dial is made with five successive layers of lacquer, each carefully polished. The blued Breguet hands coordinate with the…
This three-hand watch by Mühle-Glashütte is just that, a three-hand watch, but it has something extra: 300 metres water resistance, waterproof to the same degree as diving watches. This makes the ProMare Datum very tough and ready for any outdoor adventures. The hour and minute hands, and the hour indices, are coated in SuperLuminova for…
The ProMare range by Mühle-Glashütte is an interesting combination of non-specific sporty looks and a 300-metre water resistance that is one of the principal characteristics of a diver’s watch. This Mühle-Glashütte ProMare Chronograph has the trendy black and orange colour scheme that is strongly present on the market today (as in IWC’s Santoni straps) and…
Company profile: Mühle-Glashütte has roots far in the past, but it has been making watches from relatively recently, since 1994. It was founded in Glashütte, Germany, in 1869 by Robert Mühle, as a company supplying measuring instruments to the many clock and watchmakers already operating in the town. Mühle had trained as an apprentice at…
This watch was presented at Baselworld 2015, and it is based on the military aviation observation watches (Beobachter = observer) made by Mühle-Glashütte and other brands from the 1930s. The Terrasport I Beobachter is the second type of observation watch by the brand (the other is the even simpler watch such as the Terrasport I…

Here are my top 10 pilot’s watches for under €1,300, in descending order of price. 1. The Longines Heritage Military 1938 The Longines Heritage Military…
It’s a familiar type of watch. Black dial, white numbers, large size, lots of SuperLuminova, Pilot’s watches were originally designed to be easily legible in an aircraft cockpit, and so simplicity was essential. Today, pilots have all sorts of electronic equipment to help them, but even so, the pilot’s watch is great for everyday use…
