Limited Edition of 13 Sets GO has introduced thirteen limited edition sets comprising refurbished mechanical marine chronometers from the 1970s and the same number of platinum-encased Senator Chronometer wristwatches. Both timepieces represent the finest of German watchmaking traditions: the marine chronometers originally manufactured in Glash��tte have been restored by experts from Glash��tte Original's restoration workshop. The second member of this extraordinary set is the Platinum edition of the high end Saxon manufacture's extraordinary Senator Chronometer, winner of "Watch of the Year" award in 2010 and one of the finest of contemporary mechanical timepieces. Construction and development of mechanical marine chronometers began in the 19th century. Over the course of more than a century, some 13,000 were manufactured in Glash��tte. Thirteen of these historic instruments, manufactured during the final years of production in Glash��tte, were discovered during preparations for the opening of the German Watch Museum Glash��tte. It was an astonishing find, and each has been carefully restored and lavishly finished: the entire chronometer housing has been carefully polished and given a sophisticated rhodium finish, as have the fittings and screws. Glash��tte Original's restoration experts built new gimbal mountings for each of the chronometers, and highly skilled artisans crafted thirteen wooden cases in matt black oak. The Senator Chronometer is the first precision timepiece from Glash��tte Original to receive official chronometer certification. Tested over the course of 15 days by the chronometer-testing branch of the Office of Weights and Measures of the State of Thuringia, this prestigious timepiece passed a series of severe tests with flying colors, thus earning an official chronometer certificate - certified assurance of the highest rate precision in a mechanical watch. Notable features of the Senator Chronometer Platinum include an innovative stop-seconds reset mechanism that makes it much easier to synchronize the minute and second hands when setting the time.

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.
