On the evening of May 23 in the sold-out concert hall of the newly renovated Dresden Kulturpalast, the celebrated British cellist Steven Isserlis accepted the Glashutte Original Watches Sale Replica MusicFestivalAward. Glashütte Original CEO Thomas Meier was on hand to present the Award to the exceptional musician in the presence of Festival Director Jan Vogler, the London Philharmonic Orchestra and some 1,800 guests. Now in its 14th year, the 25,000Euro Award funded by watchmaker Glashütte Original is presented annually together with the Dresden Music Festival.
The evening’s concert saw Isserlis in brilliant form as he performed work from the Russian “Revolution Programme” with the London Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Vladimir Jurowski. The enthusiastic audience was also treated to Mikhail Glinka’s Overture “Recollection of a Summer Night in Madrid”, Sergei Prokofiev’s Cello Concert in E Minor op. 58 and Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 15 in A Major op. 141.
It’s only recently in the very long history of watchmaking that so many manufacturers have invested the time and resources to developing in-house chronograph movements. When there are dependable and capable options like the Valjoux 7750 available, the capability to come up with something in-house renders the newest rather a little bragging rights and is appreciated by today’s collecting community. Of course, there’s a continuous debate on the value of in-house motions as well as indictments of this clinic that are rather persuasive. However, we can’t allow this broader discussion steer us away from speaking about the motion at hand.The calibre 37-01 beats at 4Hz and offers 70 hours of power reserve. The brand even claims they have a new oscillation system which guarantees only a 5% deviation from that 70 hours of power reserve. The chronograph mechanism includes a 30-minute counter plus a 12-hour counter and can be activated by a column-wheel. Generally, chronograph moves are either clutch triggered or column-wheel actuated and while the former is a lot easier to design and manufacture, the latter is promised to offer a smoother pusher activity and less wear on elements over time.The motion is visible via a screen caseback and in authentic Glashütte style, there is a three-quarter plate, swan-neck regulator, heat-blued screws, and a good deal of beveled edges.
Steven Isserlis enjoys worldwide renown, and not solely for his expressive performances as a concert soloist. The Used Glashutte Original Watches Replica MusicFestivalAward honours him in particular for his exceptionally creative activities as a teacher of music. Traditionally the Award is conferred upon international artists who distinguish themselves in equal measure by their musical capabilities and their commitment to younger musicians. Not only does Isserlis routinely compose music for children and play regularly with very young friends of music – he is also a teacher, as passionate as he is famous, of diverse master classes.

Among Isserlis’s predecessors as recipients of this Award are such prominent artists as Sir Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic, Hélène Grimaud, Hilary Hahn, fado singer Mariza and the conductor Andris Nelsons. Since 2004 Glashutte Original Watch Straps Replica has been a supporting partner of the prestigious Festival, dedicated this year to the theme of “light”. The diversified programme of the 40th Dresden Music Festival will continue to present exceptional artists in multifaceted venues through the 18th of June.
