Glashütte Original

After a long search, I may now present my new precious

The LE Senator Rattrapante Pt. 

The movement talks for itself...

Kaliber GUB 99  

There are not so many Rattrapantes in the market... And don´t know, which watch could really be compared with this. Perhaps the Lange Doublesplit?

And according to the looks, for me this GO even beats a Lange Datograph...

That is a very clever choice you made here.

As you said, there are no many Rattrapantes, here, among the manual winding movements, except the Lange DS and the Richard Mille, or the Patek.

This one is not only a bargain, it is also brilliant. A superb movement, a nice brand, and an interesting dial.

Something I would definitely consider.

And while I'm considering it, you did it!

Huge congrats. I wish you a ot of pleasure with it.

Best,

Nicolas.

I love this watch.

I remember a few years ago when it was shown.  I seriously lusted this watch.  I have not yet had the pleasure of trying one on in the flesh, but sure hope to one day.  The dial layout is just odd enough to intrigue and draw me in, yet is in no way offensive.  Just different than the norm, which is a great quality.

Congratulations!

I do plan one day to add a rattrapante to my collection one day and you have just added G.O. to the list of possibilities.

Best regards,

George

A great piece of art!  Congratulations upon having the opportunity to acquire such a tremendous piece! 

Please let us know your impressions! 

My deepest congratulations for your acquisition, P. Boxster! Enjoy it!

Could you tell me why a wonderful battleship like this piece died so earlier, without any successor?

Maybe, Swatch didn't want Glashütte Original to disturb too much the other prestigious brands of the Group, with a domestic competition??? And yet, AFAIK they don't offer any manual wound rattrapantes!

and a stellar split second chrono!!!

The swan neck macro is brilliant, Craig.

Hmmmm, maybe time for hunting one?

Best,

Nicolas.

Thanks for posting!

You did everything right

This is one of the nicest chronographs currently available, especially with the grey dial.

... and I will let you know about my further experiences. So far I can´t find anything negative...
