Glashutte Original Strasser & Rohde Regulator

Glashutte Original Strasser & Rohde Regulator

The new Glashuette Original Strasser & Rohde Regulator watch is clearly a tribute to the long-gone Strasser &amp Rohde Glashütte i/Sa. manufacture that used to make excellent pendulum clocks.



In fact, the watch in question sports dial layout, which is clearly inspired by one of the Strasser &amp Rohde regulator from the 1920s.

Even the central minute hand that takes the main position on the dial has the same curved shape. Well, the hour sub-dial with twelve Roman numerals on the S&R N215 is located at 6 o’clock, but that is not that important.

The Glashutte Original Strasser & Rohde Regulator is powered by the GO 49-04 hand-wound caliber. As usual, the movement is exquisitely decorated by hand and is seen through a sapphire crystal that almost fully consumes the case back of the watch.

Unfortunately, the German manufacture plans to limit production of this beautiful piece of art at only 25 units, dramatically increasing its collector’s value, but leaving a great number of enthusiasts behind the lines.
