Damn, Santa didn't visit me.......

I guess I've been bad this year, there was nothing from the Santa.

 

So I have to do something about it and get myself at least something that I appreciate.

So I went for a hunt in Stockholm and stop by at my friend Roger's Watch Shop.

 

He tell me, just look around and see if you find something that you like.

 

And tell me if you need a loupe for things you can't see with a naked eye?

 

A naked eye he says, what do a naked eye?

Of course, it observes.

 

And if a watch observes you and smiles at you, it must be a Observer.

none

The Glashütte Original Senator Observer with the black dial is the only sport watch in the Glashütte Original's current collection IMHO.

It's a really clean look with the black matte dial and the panorama date over the 6 o'clock position.

none

The daphne/alpha hands give it a sporty feeling and at the first sight a chronograph look with the small second hand and the power reserve.

The white gold hands are loaded with super luminova, the small hands too and the dial is close to a firework.

none

The qiuckset for the date is a pushbutton at the side.

none

The dark brown calfskin leather strap with brown stiching is unique for this model and a stainless steel folding clasp.

none

The 44mm stainless steel case gives a feeling that the watch is smaller and it's very comfortable at the wrist.

none

I have looking for a caliber 100 for a long time and when this model was released did I realize it's just a matter of time until I get one.

none

With the fake 3/4 plate (as a "journalist" state, you know who you are) are in 2 pieces because of the twin barrels looks really nice IMHO.

60 jewels, incabloc and 55 hours power reserve.

none

The balance wheel have 12 weighted screws and 4 regulation screws and a fine adjustment swan neck.

none

The super luminova do a great job.

none

Even on the secondhand.

none

A well balanced night watch.

none

none

none

Nice and clean.

none

none

At work.

none

The real observer looking for Santa.

none

These images are so good I wouldn't even call them photographic This is a "digital reality transfer" from your friend's shop out around the world. We need new words to describe the experience. I am seriously impressed. Thanks very much; I am sure this didn't happen in 10 minutes! Cazalea

Those pictures ... Is why I say: When I grown up, I want to be Jocke. Amazing quality, fine compositions, perfections. The only "no no" is this guy that looks like a "Bad Santa". Scary! Cheers my friend, Nilo

As a Purist once said, . . . . . . "You can tell someone is really rich if their mechanic wears a Patek." Well, 'rich' is relative, but I'm glad to know there's at least one mechanic with indisputably impeccable taste. Sincerely, Art ...

You made a nice gift to yourself! I have a soft spot for the Senator Observer line, and the addition of this model has allowed GO to bring the taste of customers who also was looking for something more sporty, audacious respect the first two variants, much more classic. As you rightly pointed out, the portability of this watch is really ...

20 years of Union Glashütte

In 1996 Union Uhrenfabrik GmbH has been founded to form an entry level brand to Glashütte Original, with a collection of watches based either around the same cases as GO with ETA based movements, or alternatively with GO related movements with lower levels of decoration. In their heyday prior to 2008 they have produced some interesting watches, all the way up to tourbillons and perpetual calendars. In March 2008 the new range has been presented, which exclusively relied on ETA based movements and consequently ... .
