Glashütte Original

I can dream of other variations of the Senator Chronometer. I wonder how a black dial version with numerals and a brushed titanium case would look. Or maybe how dropping the date might change the overall appearance. But there is really nothing to change o...  

. . . but that's a relatively minor issue when compared to the larger point you were making, Michael. Glashütte Original made a mark by producing elegant perpetual calendars, with indicators that display the passage of time within the context of the earth...  

Thank you, Art. I am a great admirer of Glashutte Original's perpetual calendar watches. I'm not certain how they succeed in making their perpetual calendar dials seemingly more legible than other brands do, but they have a simplicity I tend to appreciate... 

with your sentiments, Michael. This is the one piece that I regret having let go. So well executed. Best, Mike

I don't follow the market boards much, but I really do not recall seeing the Senator Chronometer posted very much. Thanks for your reply Mike.

One of my favorite GO. Thanks for sharing!

Cool shot of a great timepiece. Best wishes Alkiro

Thanks Alkiro.

Best wishes Alkiro

I am now used to see it with the date, a grande date, moreover. A very nice and tempting watch, I must say. Enjoy yours, Michael. Best, Nicolas

The date has never bothered me. Can I imagine it without? Yes. But certainly it was/is not a deal breaker for me.

Not sure if it actually counts as a complication, but setting the time on one is such a great experience and feels so right. For me steel case (hey I am practical) and black or white dial would be perfect. For my wrist 2mm smaller would also work but this... 

But technically. Glashutte Original has gone above and beyond with the time setting mechanism. I reviewed in it detail some years ago: www.watchprosite.com

Always wanted one but never been able to pull the trigger . Wanted in PT which was limited to only 13 pieces

Supplied with a real ship's chronometer as I recall. Definitely a pair for the ages.

Last pair is still avbl with Glashutte North America and MRP exceeds USD 105k

A bit out of my league ;-) But honestly, not unfair for what you get. Then again, considering Andrew L's awesome recent article, we are talking an extra 73K for a platinum case and ship's chronometer. Steep premium, but for 13 lucky owners, why not.

Even after consideration I found it to be way too high...waiting patiently that one day it would appear in auction at my target price ... the high gloss dial on the pt casing is to die for ...

But would like to experience that special dial!

The classic Chronometer and its brother, the Regulator, are two watches that I have admired for years... Best, massi

I'm not usually a fan of Roman numerals on a watch but they just work here. Great design.

Generally, I prefer arabic numerals, but on this GO they are a hit.

"Most complete G.O. timepiece" hits the nail on the head. There may be more glamorous designs like the Pano line (especially the PanoInverse) or more complex ones. But if you ask the people at G.O. They will not hesitate to tell you that the Chronometer i... 

At 2 different locations in Las Vegas. I did not get any snaps, but I do have impressions. I like it, but nowhere near as much as my white dial. The blue dial has a much different character. The only thing about it I prefer is the brushed case sidewalls (...
