My first watch: Senator Panorama Date

 
 By: Victor74 : April 16th, 2011-13:43
It was time to purchase my very first (and probably only) luxury watch to mark a special milestone in my life. I was looking for something that would fit my lifestyle without being too flashy, yet instantly recognizable to true connoisseurs. I also wanted...  

I'm not able to answer your question, Victor.

But can assure you got a tremendous fine taste for watches! WOW!!! I'm a big fan of GO since 2006 and had the opportunity to see and handle this watch, that was the one who attracted me to the brand, at the Vienna airport AD. Fantastic!!!

Congratulations, very nice choice

The Senator Panorama Date . . .

. . . is a prime exemplar of German watchmaking aesthetics, and it's most gratifying that you've selected one as your first - and possibly last - acquisition. German engineering and craftsmanship, minimalist aesthetics, a manufacture movement that embodie...

Your sure sound like a fan! I do have to admit, I am looking a bit closer at GOs after our pastrami meal. Congrats on the Panorama Date...its a great piece...

The PanoMatic Moonphase was what really caught my eye...

I especially love the PanoMatic series with the dual swan neck spring design. I was first introduced to Glashutte Original in the early 2000s with the Senator Karee perpetual calendar (the square design is a bit different from today's square design). And ... 

Very much a fan of G O . . .

. . . for essentially three reasons, oc. First, they design and manufacture all their movements; second, their aesthetic - taut, austere, elegant - is appealing; and third, I feel they represent the best value in upper-tier watchmaking, secondary market c...

Very contemporary and clean but sophisticated as you said. Huge congrats and enjoy it. Best, Goh

What a watch for a first watch...

Not an Omega, not a Rolex, but a Glashutte Original! That is a great looking watch! Excellent choice and welcome to the forum. I wouldn't worry about being recognized by true connoisseurs, and I definitely wouldn't buy a watch for such a reason. True conn... 

clicking sound

 
 By: Damo : April 21st, 2011-01:01
Congrats for your new watch. I am not a watch expert but the sound may come when the watch is fully winded and in order not to put excess pressure on the spring inside the barrel, there is a mechanism that releases the pressure from the rotor. If it is th... 

thought of that as well

I checked the watch when there was no reserve left and the little noise was still there. I guess the best way I can describe the sound is that it seems like there's something loose inside when you shake the watch.
