Originality & Excellence - diving into details at the G.O. manufactory
Yesterday I had the privilege to follow an invitation to the G.O. manufactory. The headline on the invitation read: Originality & Excellence and workshops were announced. So I was very curious. It seems I arrived at the correct airport. A familiar view fu...
Cal 36 is the first with a silicon hairspring.
A good move into a technically more contemporary direction, I think. Best, my friend, Martin
Incorporating innovations that make sense while at the same time not give up one's traditions and heritage is one of the big challenges.
Yann Gamard once explained to me that in the double G logo of G.O. one of the Gs is facing back into the past while the other is facing into the future. My understanding of the event I just attended is that it was meant to convey exactly that message.
Thank you very much dear Martin for this very interesting report
I was really impressed by this “silicon rock”. I didn’t expect something like that to be honest 😳 The shots of the old dials sample book are really cool too and help to better understand current timepieces. Best wishes Alkiro
This block is more or less leftovers from production, I was told.
Production is very similar to how wafers for chips are produced. So Mr. Köppe said. Best, Martin
Definitely!
The mix of theoretic and practical lessons and the get together with friends was big fun Beat, Martin
Great report Martin! I think you have said it all, there is nothing left for me... 👍🏻😂
Except - The GO team did really a great job in every aspect. Not only regarding this event but also regarding the new calibre 36! Well done... I had the whole evening the Senator Chronometer with blue dial on my wrist. It really left a serious impression ...
You lucky guy!!!!
I am a big fan of this piece, but haven't been able to see it in the flesh yet. Feel free to post any more pics of this watch, I imagine the dial colour changes a lot depending on the lighting.
Honestly, the watch is a dream!
The optics is one thing: I haven't seen many watch faces - ever - that are so harmonious in design aspects. I love this dial (also the black iterations on some other watches). The color changes from a grey-blue to almost black depending on the light inten...
Actually, you are right!!
The chronometer has been around for a while, and I am familiar with how the time is set, but thank you for the reminder. I have a few issues with some parts of the watch industry, but I will emphasize one issue I have: - What is the point in having a watc...
Meeting you there was great, Markus!
And happy to see how much you enjoyed the Chronometer! Beat, Martin
There will be a next time
And I hope that then we will finally meet for once. Beat, Martin
Thanks for the report, Martin.
I hope to visit here myself one day... likely with the same watch on my wrist
