glashutte orginal mod. 1534

Elite “Made in Germany” watch brand Glash��tte Original gives us a sneak peak of what is to come at Baselworld 2011 (March 2011).? Unfortunately it is not a “new” model — but I’ll still take it ? The Glashutte Senator Diary made its world debut at Baselworld last year, and the watch seems to have been well received by Glash��tte enthusiasts.? Thus is makes sense this year to see Glash��tte presenting the Senator Diary in a new, white gold version with a charcoal grey dial and matching grey Nubuk leather strap.? This new color scheme looks great.? The technical accomplishment of this watch is its mechanical alarm function that can be set up to 30 days in advance. Practical?? Maybe.? Horologically impressive? Definitely (the diary appointment module alone consists of 340 components).? The price of this new Senator Diary will likely be in the $15,000-$20,000 range, which is about par for the course a brand as prestigious as Glash��tte.|||

In the horological community there are men's watches and then there are sport watches. The Glashutte Sport Evolution Perpetual Calendar watch is the rare instrument of timekeeping that has a sum greater than its individual parts and redefines what a sport watch can be. As an added bonus and sensational style point, there are the names of 24 cities (such as New York, Dhaka, Berlin and Hong Kong) imprinted on the two bezel rings, allowing you to actually take command of timekeeping. The Glashutte Sport Evolution Perpetual Calendar watch features the Caliber 39 automatic movement, which includes 48 jewels and 40 hours of power reserve. 91 Uniqueness The rubber strap is a functional, if not amusing, homage to what the Glashutte Sport Evolution Perpetual Calendar watch purports to be, but do not be fooled -- this is one damn serious watch. By moving the black bezel and placing the desired city at the hour marker, you can determine the time in that city as well as the time difference between your current location and the chosen city. In one *** movement, this watch does what so many digital varieties do with the transition of menu selections and data-recall transmissions. Read more 85 Durability It may look like a souped-up dive watch, and while it is water-resistant to a level you’ll never test yourself, you should not be fooled by its sporty look. Glashutte is a quiet rival to the throne of luxury sport-watch supremacy. Perhaps the Glashutte name is new to you, but what you need to know is this: What you are looking at is the future of high-end sport watches. Unlike so many others that may be water-tight to the deep trenches of the Pacific or have been worn atop Everest, this watch, this unbelievably expensive piece of wrist jewelry, actually does something other than tell you the current time and date in your own time zone. It is a tool for capturing time and using it as you see fit. It is liberating. It is unifying in its understanding of the passage and manipulation of time. It is the watch you should aspire to own.
