Glashütte Original

Welcome to our forum, Carlos. Dad's 70th birthday . . .

 

. . . will be a special occasion indeed, and a watch is the most deeply personal gift you could give him. Perhaps you're drawn to the Senator Automatic due to its relaxed presentation of the passage of time, without a seconds hand. Possibly the high level of movement finishing is an attraction. The austere aesthetics are especially fitting for a gentleman . . . it's the sort of design that attracts people who have no desire to impress others.





Jaeger Le Coultre and IWC are both great manufacturers, and the model lines you mentioned are also suitable for the occasion. The best advice I can offer is to try the Senator Automatic on your own wrist to see if its unique qualities are transcendent. Look with your eyes, exercise your mind, and most of all, listen to your heart . . . your instincts will not fail you.

Cordially, Art
