although I guess if you go down the gourmet road you can spend a bundle on salt!



We have a salt plant nearby that evaporates the sea water ...

When it Rains, It Pours!

When It Rains, It Pours When things in your life seem overwhelming, an American expression that you’re likely to hear is: When it rains, it pours! We say this when there’s really nothing else to say. It helps us make sense of a string of luck, usually bad...  

Ah the G.O Chronometer... A great watch which pleases me a lot.

There are not so many manual winding chronometers, nowadays, and since the... What? 50's? I am always happy to see one. Especially when it is as nice and well made as the G.O Chronometer, with its marine chronometer look. Huge congratulations, Like. I hop... 

Congratulations Mike

This GO is a pure marvel (like all GO I would say). I'm sure MichaelC already own one. Happy to see more owners of the splendid model. Enjoy it. Best wishes Alkiro

Congratulations that's a beautiful watch and the wrist shot is great; it looks so good.

I also enjoyed the rest of the post about the old salt advertisements. Here in the U.K. in my youth we had an advertisement for a product called Sifta Salt which featured a character called "Sifta Sam". Kids used to collect badges and figures. Happy memor...

That was the longest and most diverted path around the revelation of a watch purchase that I have ever read. Very entertaining and informative and to what an end it led! Congratulations for that purchase. The GO Senator Chronometer ist simply a dream. A d... 

Thanks! I aim to please (baffle, confuse, delay and divert) you

It's a really neat watch - and such a smart "complication" - you would think every watch that wants to be accurate would have this kind of adjustment system. And the blue hands! Mike ...  

Great watch,

but I must admit, I was lured into reading your post by the Morton Salt ads - lovely and iconic all of them, however I feel that the most recent iteration from 1968 is genuinely the most aesthetically pleasing. Especially the design of the girl but even t... 

Fantastic post Cazalea! I enjoyed so much ...

... reading about the origins of this expression as a great introduction to your new Glashutte chronometre! Superb reading and a great watch make for a unique post! Thank you so much and enjoy your new watch in good health! Cheers! Abel

Wonderful post, Cazalea.

The GO Senator Chronometer is surely hard to resist. I was lucky to acquire one when first released, enjoyed it for a number of years and parted with it to make room for another. The only watch that I truly regret letting go. I am sure it will bring you m... 

Great watch from GO, allways liked the look if this...

Now I look froward to seeing it in person when we next break bread, never had the pleasure of seeing one in person. Congrats on the lovely addition, and for the salt story, I enjoyed that ;-) Thanks Mike for your encyclopedic knowledge of many facts... Ch...
