Actually I think this is why I like GO so much at this point in time
Imo the quality and designs of GO are as nice as Lange, I find them maybe even a little more original and daring this last year at least. Quite a few really winning watches. With movements that are really excellent and almost all parts made in house or next door.
I like how they are not pretentious and at this point a brand for connoisseurs.
Also especially last year some watches were value for money. The Inverse, Lunar XL, those were mighty fine watches at their price point.
I was really struck after visiting the factory in Glashutte and seeing these watches being made and seeing the history of this brand.
Personally I don't care much for the VIPs etc. that seem to be promoting many brands nowadays. I prefer the craftsmanship and relatively low production numbers.
Makes the GOs special - I seldom see someone wearing a GO and most people have never heard of the brand.
Here's a game based on Advertising 101 : Who/What is GO to you?
To begin, a declaration, I am in no way commissioned by GO or any brand and have no vested interest in the responses (if any ) I was with a few friends the other day over a cafe and we started talking about GO for some reason... I went on to say GO to me ...
All I can say is....
The GO Senator Sixties is bada$$. For me, I don't don't need to associate it with any car, person, or creature. It's just cool. -MW
Excellent question, Arthur. I by and large agree . . .
. . . with your observation that G O doesn't have an overt image, which is reflected in - and perhaps is - corporate policy. They don't sponsor races, assign brand ambassadors, or otherwise involve themselves in popular events. They are affiliated with cu...
Very good answer Art.....
Not only for the Audi but also (and more importantly) for the cultural sponsoring.. Film, classical music.... Cheers ps. I noticed that you are now the Zenith moderator... Are you still moderating GO?
Quite right, my mechanically inclined friend! . . .
. . . the last time I worked on a car was when engines had carburetors ;-) . . .
If I should try............
As for what the GO is to me so I would say the highest perfection . Sometimes it feels overworked as it is not possible to find a line from the cutting tool or cutter which differs from the others . So sometimes it is not feeling handmade without CNC mach...
Understated quality...
and faithfulness to tradational watch making and designs. While not being afraid to be modern where needed, as well. -- Richard. This message has been edited by =RWK= on 2011-02-28 19:51:18
LOL...
Uxbridge : By God, sir, I've lost my leg! Wellington : By God, sir, so you have!
Marlene Dietrich, Braun and Volkswagen comes to mind.
Beyond the overt German connection, there is lotsa "correlation" Marlene Dietrich, not just the actress, but her acting In Morroco, the only film she was nominated for an Oscar, despite her mono liners. She didn't speak much English then, and still a sens...

description of my recently sold perp. sums it up for me...
This watch is the ultimate –the Porsche of perpetuals –one of a specially commissioned, never to be repeated, limited run (sold-out) of just 20. It’s dressy, sporty & classy, -not flashy. Beautiful, reliable & functional. Wear-anywhere, do-anything. A Por...
However....
One is not permitted to have a watch for sale and write on a thread positive things about it... (especially when the text is identical to that of the sale...) It is considered shilling.... A moderator could have a look, but your practice is not the the sp...
perhaps you did not understand...
none of my watches are for sale. The description was one that I wrote back when I had a watch for sale -it simply was a descriptive of my thoughts about Glashutte & I employed it as a convenience -my prior post was in answer to your prior comment -which I...
Hi, PP - I don't believe there's cause for concern . . .
. . . as Bart has sold the listed Senator Navigator perpetual some weeks ago. I'll be sending a private message asking that he update the listing to reflect the "Sold" condition. Btw, I've met Bart on several occasions, and know him to be a gentleman as w...
Thank you....
Glad to know that it was a misunderstanding.... As you know there are many that try to abuse our community... For example the is/was a person promoting a Polish FF.... Cheers
