Description

For Baselworld 2013, German high-end watchmaker Glashütte Original celebrates fine mechanical watches with the Senator Tourbillon. The model places the Flying Tourbillon, developed by Glashütte watchmaker Alfred Helwig in 1920, within the elegant frame of a contemporary redesign of the Saxon manufactory’s classic Senator series. The 42 mm case of this timepiece features a somewhat slimmer bezel than previous Senator models, allowing the bezel to serve as an elegant frame for the fine lacquered grey grained dial. The dial visuals feature Roman numerals and a classic railroad chapter ring engraved in the surface which subsequently receives an elegant silver inlay. The distinctive Panorama Date is presented in white on a dark ground beneath hour 12, and the ‘poire’ hands in white gold enhance the transcendent elegance of the design. Ref. 1-94-03-04-04-04 is fitted with an alligator strap with folding clasp. Ref. 1-94-03-04-04-50 is fitted with an alligator strap with shorter folding clasp. Ref. 1-94-03-04-04-02 is fitted with an alligator strap with pin buckle.
