Wouldn't it be a pity to regard them as collectors item only?
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.
This makes me think that even these complicated watches they are actually intended to be worn.
But probably that is just a question of how one looks at it.

G.O. BaselWord novelties revisited
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...
Cosmopolite and Excellence Perpetual Calendar, for me, please.
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 ...
Same for me with the Cosmopolite.
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...
The Openworked PC is quite special looking.
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!
Indeed a fresh version and still very legible.
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
Wonderful report Martin!
There are many good news, my favorites are the grey brushed dial and... the new dial design of the Cosmopolite: I would say that now we are ready to put it in a steel Chronometer! I’m curious to know how and when their new products will be presented next ...
Now I finally understand what you meant by the last line.
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
The Cosmopolite is the same as other big watches from Glashütte: collector's items
You do not necessarily use them in action. I would be happy enough to own the Cosmopolite and admire the complexity, travel in thoughts to all of the places on the dial. It is more an automat, like the Kalenderwoche, than a watch.

Thanks for the nice report!
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😎
Another cal 37 next to the Seventies Chrono?
You must really be fond of this Chronograph You wrist would also be well suited for the Cosmopolite! Best, Martin
