Glashutte Original Senator Chronometer

Unveiled at the beginning of the year in Basel, the Glashutte OriginalSenator Chronometer watch remains the most interesting model from the resurrected German brand.

While looking absolutely stunning, the selling point of this watch is in its in-house Caliber 58-01 hand-wound movement. This is, to my knowledge, the only mechanical movement that allows for such a precise setting of time.

In a recently released video, Glashutte Original demonstrated the process of setting up the watch. Pulling the crown, you automatically reset the small seconds counter to zero and, by turning the minute hand precisely by 6-degree increments, you can easily set the watch to the desired time with an unprecedented accuracy.

Enjoy.
