Glashütte Original

Last week I had the chance to attend the G.O. Press Cocktail at Munich which was held at the ephimeral "THE LOVELACE" Hotel. A very stylish place. A little too stylish if you ask me. I was told that at this time of the year the press corps is already plan...  

The Cosmopolite for a funny reason: I didn't like it as it was in gold, now, in steel, with the revisited dial, that's a different song. And this movement is to die for! The Excellence Perpetual Calendar has an awesome dial, traditional and modern in the ... 

In Gold it was too close to the Senator Chronometer design wise. With the new dial it has developed a fresh and independent personality. The Cosmopolite and the Duometre UTT are certainly two of the best travel time implementations that money can currentl... 

We all praise Glashutte perpetuals for their legibility. This one, maybe not as much as their others, but it still looks very appealing. Thanks for this refresher!

The dial design would have matched a steel case very well IMHO, but well, they opted for white gold. What do you think about the less classic, more modern looks that we see here? Best, Martin

I complete missed the withdrawal of Swatch group from Basel until some minutes will see. Regarding the steel Chronometer..... I would be very surprised to see that one day. But who knows? Best, Martin

Other than e.g. a minute repeater the watches you mention, and let's add the Diary to the list, feature more useful complications. And they try to hide all the complexity of the mechanisms and present the implemented function in simplest possible way. Thi... 

Right now I want the white dialled Senator Chronograph in stainless steel. I have try it at my dealer a couple of time and it grows😎

You must really be fond of this Chronograph You wrist would also be well suited for the Cosmopolite! Best, Martin

Thanks

reading with good pictures. You attended in the very pleasant event.
