Glashütte Original

. . . is, and I mean this in the most conservative sense of the term, a masterpiece of design and construction. The movement is designed to aid the wearer in measuring it's level of accuracy by advancing the minute hand to the correct exact position it's ...  

And I definitely understand you Thanks for the post and great pictures! Marcelo

. . . cordially, Art

Thanks for the pics Art! -MW

. . . this G O is the complete package in every respect, imho . . . cordially, Art

Thanks for posting these photos, Art. This is my favorite watch launched this year from any brand. It is truly a beauty. I cannot wait to see one in the metal. Any idea when they will start hitting the ADs? I would love to see this released in stainless s... 

have similar tastes my friend..... My AD told me that he expects it late June, which, he explained, means September Cheers

If you had to, which one: Senator Chronometer or Duometre? Best, respo

I have seen the duometre up close and it is superb, I have not worn the sc yet..... Very hard to chose...... two very different watches.... and you cannot go wrong with either of them..... Probably both lolol

So very greedy, my friend! Having seen the Duometre myself as well, I can't imagine it being supplanted by the GO, but who knows once I see that one in the metal and play with it. Now they would make a nice pair! Cheers, respo

make a great pair although the AMVOX II would be jealous lolol Cheers

. . . I'm content to appreciate the Senator Chronometer on it's own merits as presented to us this year . . . cordially, Art

gorgeous. The only problem is which one I like better, the RG or the WG I agree- this is the best of GO in 09 and it is very high up in my wish list thank you for posting the photos Cheers

. . . transcends mere metal, Pink Panther. It wouldn't matter either way to me, although if I had a choice, it would be in brushed platinum for the sheer joy of the added heft . . . cordially, Art

that it was only available in WG and RG....... for the moment at least Cheers

. . . a platinum version is just my wishful thinking! Banish the thought . . . cordially, Art

I am certain that GO is moderating this post and maybe they will introduce in a couple of years. Cheers This message has been edited by PinkPanther on 2009-06-08 15:57:48

...it brings tears to the eyes. Art, I'm with you. This is a grail watch if I ever saw one. A perfectly laid-out dial, a movement that is fanciful in its decoration on the balance cock and employment of swan's neck regulator, yet strong and purposeful in ... 

...agree with your assesment of this fine new model. This is a wonderful "high" expression of German watchmaking tradition (of which I am a great fan). I must have one, someday! Thanks for another great post. This message has been edited by glickman on 20... 

. . . you might recall my fondness for the aesthetically similar 1878 that debuted last year; without reservation, I can say that the dedicated manual-winding chronometer movement has taken G O to a higher level of excellence and, I might uncharacteristic... 

. . . and yes, I love it, too . . . cordially, Art

I can't wait to see it in person. I do wonder about the size (42 mm, I think) as a dressy watch. Unfortunately, this watch is merely a pipe dream for me at this time, since I just recently added a new piece to the collection. Oh well, a man can dream. By ... 

. . . and trust me on this: the nominal size of the Senator Chronometer is not an issue . . . I'm certain you'll agree once you've tried it on. Cordially, Art

I would add it to my stable in a heartbeat (or a tick-tock, perhaps). GO has a winner in this one. I especially find the blued hands attractive. tempusfugit

. . . and considering how similar our tastes and predilections are, I wouldn't be surprised in the least to find one on your wrist someday ;-) . . . cordially, Art

While viewing your pics of this G.O Beauty. This one is in my book, with the PanoInverse and maybe, the Rattrapante... Pure G.O DNA, to me. I'm absolutely in love and admiration in front of such a piece. Thanks for sharing this slice of Dream. Best, Nicol... 

. . . would it be? Speaking for myself, clearly and without hesitation, it's the Senator Chronometer . . . cordially, Art

As I really " need " a Rattrapante to close my Chronograph collection. And I also fell in love with the PanoInverse. So many choices, my friend... But the Chronometer is really tempting, as I deeply admire this " Horlogerie de précision ". Best, nico... 

No message body

. . . you'll need help getting your eyeballs back in their sockets when you finally get a chance to see one in the metal ;-) . . . cordially, Art

I truly appreciate what Glashutte Original has done with this piece to make it what it is today. The careful thought invested into this piece makes this (in my opinion) the current hallmark of the Glashutte Original brand. And just watching the planetary ... 

. . . (sigh) . . . this movement is worthy of a photo essay by someone far more talented than myself . . . cordially, Art

Thanks for sharing, Art Best Jarle

. . . and I'm most pleased that it's being well received by the community. Thanks very much, Art

poetry in motion, work of art....whichever way i look at it, GO outdone themselves with this. great and beautiful piece. thanks for these pics. richard

. . . precisely what I'm afraid of, because Art will have to work very hard to acquire one! Best regards, Art

LOL! we always need something to drive us on in life...this just may be yours at this juncture! richard

I was very lucky in April and had the chance to try on a RG Senator Chronometer. I loved it! Even though it has a (relatively spoken) moderate pricing, it feels like the crown on the G.O. model range. Maybe this is because it concentrates almost entirely ... 

. . . the Panorama date and day/night indicator make this watch sensible for everyday wear. Warm regards, Art

organization of the text. Lots of writing scattered about. I would put the word "chronometer" on the sub seconds dial, and "Glashutte" between the center of the watch and the date. That criticism aside, the watch is gorgeous, and would not stop me from bu... 

. . . other than having to wait until retirement age so that I can raid my 401K! Cordially, Art

when deliveries will begin here in the US?

.

. . . with a dealer? I'll put in a phone call to Our Man in San Diego for an update . . . cordially, Art

But through a friend from an AD was told this summer. So I'm hoping for a few months. I will look forward to any more concrete information you can provide. As you can surmise, I am rather interested in this watch. I have never owned a GO, but a close frie... 

but hey, in these times of poverty lets go for both as they both deserve my beautiful wrist underneath them Graham

. . . problem solved ;-) . . . optimistically, Art

And sometimes, he wears a watch on his foot, if I'm not wrong... So, Graham, you don't need 2 G.Os, but 3. Best! Nicolas

i only do that on very special occasions Nicolas so the 3rd one wouldnt get much wear :) best graham

Meeting is a very special occasion, I will certainly have the pleasure to have a look at your feet! Best, Nicolas

i'm not sure pleasure is the right word, but whatever floats your boat mon ami :) best Me

and as you know Art, i often wear 2 watches while at home which is most of the time so only 1 excuse left now and thats paying for them :) best Graham

. . . perhaps a Sport Evo Impact for those bumpy rides in the Welsh countryside ;-) . . . warm regards, Art
