Tutima Glashütte Introduces a New Patria
A two-hand beauty
“Perfection is not achieved when nothing more can be added, but when nothing more can be taken away,” wrote Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It is precisely this philosophy of deliberate reduction that guides Tutima Glashütte with the new Patria, now presented for the first time as a strictly two-hand interpretation of its manufacture line. The deep black lacquered dial is stripped to its essentials, displaying only hours and minutes. In contrast to earlier versions, the small seconds has been omitted entirely. The generously proportioned hands, manufactured in-house and meticulously hand-polished, stand out sharply against the glossy surface. Together with diamond-cut hour markers and a highly polished case, the result is a composition of calm clarity that nevertheless conveys a strong, expressive elegance.
Patria 6612-21
Tutima GlashütteThe 41mm case, measuring 11.2mm in height, is crafted from Grade 5 titanium, a material valued for its combination of lightness and durability. Despite its refined appearance, the Patria is built for everyday resilience. This is reinforced by a domed, double anti-reflective sapphire crystal and a gently curved crown guard that continues the fluid lines of the case design.
At its heart beats the in-house Tutima 617 manual-winding caliber, offering a power reserve of at least 65 hours. While the dial side is defined by restraint, the movement reveals the richer language of traditional Glashütte watchmaking. A three-quarter plate with fine stripe finishing spans much of the movement, punctuated by gold chatons holding the ruby bearings. A skeletonized balance bridge opens the view to the in-house, indexless regulating system, oscillating at 21,600 vibrations per hour and forming the precise heartbeat of the watch. Regulation of the screw balance and the shaping of the Breguet overcoil are carried out in Glashütte. Tutima Glashütte pairs the watch with a black alligator leather strap fitted with a titanium pin buckle. The price is set at €8,600 or approximately $10,130 when converted to USD.
