Sporty chums –<br />
there when you need them<br />
By Petra Bäuerle<br />
Hammering back down into the valley on a mountain bike, an adrenaline rally offroad,<br />
white-water rafting in the Rockies – there are some things in life that don’t require<br />
precision and accuracy alone; they demand toughness in both man and machine.<br />
<strong>Glashütte</strong> <strong>Original</strong> presents two watches that hold their own even under extreme<br />
sports conditions. The Sport Evolution Impact Chronograph and the Sport Evolution<br />
Impact Tourbillon are two tough customers whose shock absorption systems guarantee<br />
reliability and rate precision even under the most demanding conditions. This is made<br />
possible with the use of an advanced, flexible substance discovered in cooperation<br />
with the technology development department of the Fraunhofer<br />
Institute. Four elements crafted in elastomer, as the shock-absorb ing<br />
substance is called, are used to suspend the movement and dial<br />
as well as to form a connection with the case.<br />
Both models show their strength in 46 mm<br />
stainless steel cases. The chronograph outfitted with a<br />
tachymetric scale on the bezel with for measuring speed<br />
also has stop-seconds. The limited edition Sport Evolution<br />
Impact Tourbillon combines fascinating tourbillon technology<br />
rich in tradition with modern innovation and<br />
design. Automatic Caliber 94 and its gravity-defying flying<br />
tourbillon embody the highest standards of horological<br />
craftsmanship.<br />

You can’t shock these watches: the Sport Evolution<br />
Impact models absorb 60 percent of the force of an<br />
impact – and look great doing it<br />
