As a lover of both brands I have always wondered which company came up with this beautiful three quarter rotor movement concept. The layout of the rotors from each brand are different but the movements look eerily similar. I've spoken with someone close to Lange and he had told me that Lange was the first to come up with this movement but I'm sure if I were to speak with someone from GO I would get a different response. With that being said, both brands make the nicest three quarter automatic movement today... more

The new year has just begun and I would like to to dedicate my first review of 2011 to a  watch would have been perfect for the last days of 2010... This watch is  Panomatic Counter XL. You may want to know why I write this. It is very simple: this watch  features an individual counter on the left side of the dial, the window with red figures.  You are totally free to use as you want this counter. It is absolutely not linked to a time function. You can count everything you wish fro... more

So I've had this Glashutte Navigator Perpetual now for about two weeks and wanted to share some thoughts. This was a model that I kind of over looked when it was released a couple of years ago. I've always been a fan of this movement but have never owned one of GO's perpetuals so when I saw this piece in person it jumped out of the case at me just like the Panoreserve XL did. The brushed case kind of makes the rose gold look bronze but it has a nice effect against the black dial. I also ... more

So I got this watch the other day and was thrilled to finally get my hands on a Pano XL. This particular model was released a couple of years ago at Basel and I really wanted it after I saw all the amazing photos posted during the Basel fair. I thought the color combination on this piece was / is outstanding and after a few days of owing it I wanted share my thoughts seeing that not much has been written about this watch previously.  Firs... more

It is no secret around here how much I love my Senator Chronometer.  There has been nothing about the watch or ownership experience to be disappointed with in the slightest for me.  If I were forced to make any criticism, it would be that the "standard" OEM strap is rather long (and our good Dr. No warned me of this before it arrived).  I wore it on the tightest hole and it was OK, but still a bit looser than I typically like.  So I ordered the short strap shortly after receiving it, and... more

Glashutte Original Senator Calender Week Revisited (c) Decksurgeon - July 2009 The senator Calendar week was first shown in 2006 as a Basel novelty and I honestly never took much notice of it till recently. Please forgive me for this oversight as I live in Singapore/Asia. If you dare mention a work schedule in terms of weeks - you'd more than often get a blank stare (and probably lose the deal!). It is uncommon outside of Europe to use the calendar week system to describe the a work schedule which is a com... more

As part of the International Art fair in HK,Glashutte Original showcased some of their museum pieces together with some of their latest creations. Live demonstrations from the lovely Maria also provided fascinating insights into the art of mechanical watchmaking. I spent much of the time chatting with the very affable and charming Ulrike that I almost forgot to take any pictures and those that I took were sadly of sub standard quality.Where is Jocke and Sam's friend when you need them? Without furthe... more
