A world first for German brand Glashütte Original, the new Senator Chronometer Tourbillon joins a one-minute flying tourbillon with a stop-second mechanism, zero reset and minute detent (the minute advances in one-minute increments during time-setting), which sets time with ultimate precision, ensuring the minute and hour hands are perfectly synchronized. As soon as the crown is pulled out to set the time, the tourbillon cage and the second hand attached to it both stop, and only restart once the crown is pushed back in. The manual-wind Caliber 58-05 undergoes extensive testing and each watch is a certified chronometer. The newly designed 42mm case features a slimmer bezel allowing for more dial space to view the blue galvanic time dial and the constantly moving tourbillon. All of the components are meticulously hand finished.

Made in Germany' is a label that signifies durability, and the timepieces created by Glashütte Original are no exception. Unlike Swiss watchmakers, the wheel bridge that has been branded in Glashütte's watches since 1864 covers three-quarters of the movement's surface to ensure a more stable construction of movement. Its intricate screw balance mechanism that forms the oscillation system, swan-neck fine adjustment used to regulate the watch and famed stripe finish found on all Glashütte's watches, further exemplify the undying attention attributed to its craft, both internally and aesthetically.The recent PanMaticCalendar watch, crafted in platinum and of caliber 92-10, spotlights the brand's sophistication through its skeletonized movement and moonphase display. Equally impressive collections include the Senator, Spezialist and Vintage lines.
