Glashutte Original Senator Meissen watch

The Glashutte Original Senator Meissen watch is an extraordinary and classic luxury timepiece. A unique collaboration between two old world crafts--the art of traditional mechanical watchmaking, and that of exceptional hand-crafted porcelain--this Glashutte Original watch is distinguished by a stunning dial made from world famous Meissen porcelain.

Crafted from 18K rose gold exclusively, the case of the Glashutte Senator Meissen timepiece is beautifully polished and stately, a decidedly classic expression, but one that has a touch of the contemporary to keep it fresh. The wonderful color of the rose gold highlights the extraordinary purity of the dial. Crafted from a breathtakingly thin and painfully fragile sliver of porcelain, each dial is kiln fired after being painstakingly hand-painted with slender Roman numeral figures, an individual number and the legendary crossed swords which have been applied to each piece of Meissen porcelain since the early 18th century. Shimmering blued steel hands, shaped in the elegant Poire style, highlight the extraordinary beauty of these wondrously pure dials. A single Meissen porcelain master is responsible for the production of each dial, making each Senator Meissen watch a singular work of art, whose production can obviously not be rushed in any way.

The inner life of the Glashutte Original Senator Meissen watch is also a creation of exceptional artistry. Designed and manufactured exclusively by Glashutte Original, the self-winding Caliber 100 movement is decoratively and technically a mechanism of distinction. A sapphire crystal caseback permits one to admire the fine Glashutte striping decoration on the plates, the beveled edges, and the distinctive balance wheel, with its solid gold meantime screws and shapely swan's neck fine adjustment. The large central winding rotor is also visually dominant, and shines with the Glashutte double-G symbol in gilt, as well as a peripheral winding mass crafted from solid 21K gold. This efficient automatic-winding mechanism quickly powers this distinguished Senator watch to a full power reserve of 55-hours.

Necessarily limited in production by the dedicated artisanal aspects that are involved in the creation of each watch, the Glashutte Original Senator Meissen watch is fitted to a luxurious strap made from Louisiana alligator, and features a rose gold buckle accentuated by the Glashutte Original symbol.
