Haute Complication: Glashütte Original Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar
When visiting the village of Glashütte in Germany, the rest of the world seems far away. It is surrounded by beautiful nature, which gives it a deep sense of serenity, that the watchmakers there utilize to make the most marvelous creations. However, this stunning location doesn’t mean that they are out of touch with the rest of the world. On the contrary, it gives them just the right perspective, as Glashütte Original proves with its Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar.
Few color combinations are so intensively satisfying on a watch as pink and blue, and this timepiece shows why. Glashütte Original opted for a rose opaline dial, which offers a rich and vibrant texture, and combined it with blued hands and Roman numerals. Even the calendar windows and the moon phase are donned in deep blue, creating a harmony in contrast that is perfectly complemented by the alligator strap in the same hue. This color scheme not only offers beauty but also ensures excellent legibility.
The Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar is also very well proportioned, with a case size of 42mm. This is large enough to showcase the beautiful dial and space out the various windows supporting the perpetual calendar without becoming too much of a good thing. Inside the case, we find caliber 36-12. This manufacture movement is fitted with a single mainspring barrel that offers a power reserve of 100 hours. The Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar also comes with a universal corrector, allowing owners to adjust the day, date, and month with just a single push. This makes correctly adjusting the perpetual calendar when needed much more effortless. To ensure the utmost precision, this watch undergoes a stringent testing procedure, lasting 24 days. Owners can even access an online portal, in which they can see the detailed test scores of their watch. The Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar is also available with a stainless steel bracelet, giving it a more sportive touch. The watch is limited to 100 pieces.
