Glashutte Original Senator Perpetual Calendar watch

The Glashutte Original Senator Perpetual Calendar watch is a distinguished luxury timepiece with nearly irresistible technical appeal. Featuring one of the most sought after complications in the repertoire of high watchmaking, the Senator Perpetual calendar's manufacture movement keeps track of days, date, month, leap year and phases of the moon, all within a finely crafted design that exudes classical touches, yet is moderated by contemporary aspects.

Crafted from 18K gold, platinum, or stainless steel, the case of this Glashutte Original watch displays elegance but is not constrained by excessive formality. Finely polished, the case measures a pleasingly modern 40mm from side to side, and it features pusher style correctors on the caseband to adjust the calendar functions. Displaying beautiful attention to detail, the dial of the Senator Perpetual calendar watch also offers an outstanding design with great legibility. The day and month feature prominently in windows in the dial's upper hemisphere, while the large panorama date display and the elegant moonphase indicator balance out the lower dial area. The Glashutte Original Senator Perpetual Calendar watch is animated by an exclusive Glashutte manufacture movement.

Conceived and produced in the Glashutte factory, and meticulously decorated, constructed and adjusted by master watchmakers, the Caliber 100 displays the craftsmanship and engineering which will delight collectors, and those who appreciate superlative mechanical intricacy. Featuring a bi-directional winding system and a 55-hour power reserve, the Caliber 100 is distinguished first of all by its unique seconds reset mechanism which is activated by a pusher on the case. Long considered one of the most prestigious complications in watchmaking the perpetual calendar keeps track of days, date, month, and the leap year cycle, making automatic adjustments in accord with the variability of months. Additionally, a moonphase indicator shows the position of earth's natural satellite in the sky as it changes through the course of the month. Yet another distinctive element, is the large date display---dubbed "Panorama Date" by Glashutte Original, this inventive date display utilizes a sophisticated system of dual discs to present the date without the need for magnification or unsightly gaps between the ones and tens digits. Fine Glashutte striping gleams on the three-quarter plate and the large central rotor, which also bears a 21K gold segment on its rim. The balance wheel is fitted with adjustable gold meantime screws, and a polished swan neck spring also nods to traditional Saxon watchmaking techniques. In the limited edition platinum version of the watch, the jewels feature an additional exclusive aspect---they are set into gold chatons, which are secured to the plate with finely blued screws.

Glashutte Original offers the Senator Perpetual Calendar watch in stainless steel and 18K rose gold, as well as a limited edition platinum version which is fitted with a black guilloche dial. The rose gold and stainless steel versions are shown with a choice of dials that are either plain, or decorated with an alluring sunburst guilloche pattern. Each watch is joined to a beautifully finished alligator strap which is curved to abut the case lugs exactly. A folding clasp engraved with the Glashutte insignia completes the stainless steel and rose gold versions, while the platinum watch uses a traditional tang-style buckle hewn from the same precious material.
