Mühle-Glashütte marks a double celebration in 2024 with the release of the 29er Big Small Second Edition 1994. This limited-edition timepiece not only celebrates the 30th anniversary of the family business in its current form but also pays tribute to the brand’s 155-year legacy since its founding. Limited to 155 pieces, this watch introduces a new complication—the decentralized small seconds display—while honoring the company’s rich history in Glashütte.
Design and Craftsmanship
The 29er Big Small Second Edition 1994 stands out with its 42.4mm stainless steel case, featuring a mix of brushed and polished finishes. The watch’s dial is a harmonious blend of anthracite, accented with a lighter totalizer for the small seconds, and complemented by a blue flange that celebrates the company’s heritage. The small seconds display is positioned off-center, adding an innovative twist to the otherwise classic design.
Two key numbers—30 and 155—are highlighted on the dial to commemorate the anniversaries. The 30 is prominently displayed in bright blue in both the date window and the seconds scale, while the 155 replaces the traditional 55-minute mark, paying tribute to the company’s 155-year legacy.
Technical Specifications
At the core of the 29er Big Small Second Edition 1994 is the SW 261-1 movement, customized by Mühle-Glashütte with its proprietary woodpecker neck regulation. This movement offers a 41-hour power reserve and includes a stop-second feature for precision time-setting. The watch is equipped with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal on both the front and the transparent case back, which showcases the special anniversary rotor. This rotor is engraved with the anniversary logo, finished in an elegant golden hue.
