Glashütte Original

. . . courtesy Our Man in Glashtte. I was able to take a first-hand look at the exceptional automatic chronograph introduction from Glashtte Original last month. In-house calibers of this quality . . . . . . aren't exactly commonplace. What separates th...

. . . to come! :-)

Elegant pushers, and the cabochon is the cherry on the cake. The movement decoration is interesting, too. A good offer from G.O! Best, Nicolas

I'm still waiting for this to arrive at my AD, though I know that this is a hard one for me - I love the watch and the movement, but the 70s just wears too big for me...I'm hoping in a small way that the leather straps might "fix" that somewhat. We'll see... 

. . . not impossibly so, Richard. A round watch of the same dimensions and proportions most likely would not work on my wrist, but shaped cases like this have an ameliorative effect. That's one of the reasons I'm so enamored of my Karrées, not to mention ...

. . . so I can't top it, but can share these images of the silver white . . . . . . and grey . . . . . . dials. Blue is the most compelling visually in an objective sense; on my wrist, though, it was the grey dial that sang. ...  

Interesting, and thanks!  Yes, the grey dial on a grey strap as in your photo does look rather lovely.   Hmmm... Do I see a slight tinge of brown/bronze on the grey dial, or is that just the reflection of the lights?

. . . but here's an image that should afford . . . . . . a sense of its depth. Fairly thick, with an imposing presence on my wrist. Cordially, Art ...
