Senator Chronometer: A bridge from one era to another

From 1886 on, watchmakers in Glashütte put their stamp on the era of marine chronometers. By the end of the 1970s, some 13,000 robust ship clocks had been manufactured in the Saxon town. They were among the most accurate portable mechanical timekeepers of their day. Today this technological and craft brilliance continues to be nourished and developed by Glashütte Original. In 2019, Glashütte Original celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Senator Chronometer, which has carried the rich legacy of German chronometer construction to the wrist and with that into the future in an innovative way.

It was a 1995 limited run of only 30 pieces, and the price was really prohibitive. Marcus

The Senator Chronometer is a highlight of the GO collection.

The latest change (smaller bezel) helps to make this piece even more elegant looking.
