Reach for the Stars: The Bicolor Antaria Chronograph in Red Gold

It is the brightest star in the constellation Scorpius and lends its name to one of the most beautiful families of Mühle-Glashütte watches replica: Antares. With its dazzling reddish brilliance, it is visible with the naked eye from earth. This same brilliance is mirrored in the new Antaria Chronograph, whose elegance and style shine through in bicolor with red gold.

With its stunning radiance, Antares outshines all surrounding stars. And like its namesake, the Antaria Chronograph also excels in beauty – distinguishing itself as a shining example of readability and precision. A polished stainless steel case and elegant red gold-gilded bezel unite in this stylish timepiece; a perfect complement to the red gold-gilded appliqués, which clearly and yet harmoniously differentiate themselves from their anthracite background.

The red-gilded hands elegantly sweep across the reduced minute markers. The totalisers, tastefully seated in the main dial, are arranged at six, nine and twelve o’clock respectively. The overall balanced look of this 42-millimetre chronograph is completed by the date window and Mühle logo at the 3 o’clock position. Like its predecessors in the successful Antaria family, this stylish and well-balanced form is complemented with a Russian leather band and stainless steel butterfly clasp.

The Antaria’s MU 9408 chronograph movement ensures perfect time keeping and is equipped with all the characteristic Mühle features: Mühle rotor, the patented woodpecker neck regulation and the Glashütte three-quarter plate. These technical details are not only functional, they are also aesthetically pleasing. A particularly large sapphire glass back also provides a view into the dazzling interior. The Antaria Chronograph affords the wearer the possibility of a wondrous journey into the galaxy of time. And although Antares is more than 500 light years from earth in the southern night sky, the Antaria Chronograph is only a quick glance away.

About Mühle-Glashütte GmbH

Mühle-Glashütte GmbH develops and manufactures high-quality ships’ timepieces, marine chronometers and mechanical wristwatches. In this the Glashütte company places great emphasis on the excellent legibility and accuracy of its timepieces. Because the name Mühle has long stood for precision and precise measurement. The foundation stone for this was laid by Robert Mühle. In 1869 he founded a family-run company in Glashütte to produce precise measurement instruments for the local watch industry. The direction followed by the present-day company emerged under the management of the fourth generation of the family. Since 1994 it has gone by the name of Mühle-Glashütte GmbH nautische Instrumente und Feinmechanik, equipping cruise ships of the AIDA fleet and luxury yachts with marine time systems and chronometers. The fact that the nautical characteristics required in this – namely precision, legibility and reliability – are also reflected in the Mühle wristwatches is particularly important to Thilo Mühle. With him the family-run company now has its fifth generation at the helm.
