The watch world refear to GO as a second best compared to L&S,in terms of products and finish and so on.sometimes this is true but the gap between the two is shortening I think.The SChrono is a marvel,and you are right,lets tone it down a notch,lets talk about watches you can enjoy and not fireworks displays.The hacking second and the possibility of setting the right minute should be a compulsory feature in every brand who claims maximum precision.Guys think about every morning when you set your timepiece for the day,isn't that always a struggle for people like us who love these objects to get it as precise as we can?(sometimes with poor results,as you pointed with a bit of luck?).In terms of precision,no qudruple tourbillon or chain and fusee could match the possibility of setting your watch precisely when you want .Just my thought.Yours,Mo.

GO Senator Chronometer a slap on face of AL&S
When A. Lange created the Langematik movement with a boost of its reset-to zero second function to add precision to setting, I always think that it makes sense only if the minutes hand also moves spot on and move in exact increment of 1 min a time on setting. Actually, it takes quite a bit of trick and luck in the current Langematik movement to prevent the swinging of minute hand when you push back the crown, making the reset-to-zero function quite meaningless. Then I found that GO comes up with the Senator Chronometer in Basel 2009 that 100% fulfill my dream and in a simple and elegant manner. I always consider GO second best compared with A. Lange in term of movement finishing, aesthetic, and has owned and sold a GO shortly to make room for a Lange. Personally I think it is a shame that A. Lange did not carry on R&D and let GO to take the first and instead focus on a no of fancy watches like the 31-day, the split minutes chrono, a fussy fussee chain PLM.
You have a point

Thks for someone eventually responding to my comments
I tend to make my words strong not as an insult to AL&S, I still love the brand and believe it or not if the Chronometer were from AL&S , I 'd jump on it. I just hope that AL&S can rethink their strategy and make sth really useful and innovative not just fussy items with lot of unnecessary complications. I tend to admire the use of simple and elegant solution to solve complication instead of using sth ultra complicated.
For some reasons...
