The Glashütte Original Senator Skeletonized in depth.

 

 The Glashütte Original Senator Manual Winding Skeletonized Edition Ref 1-49-18-01-05-30

  

This is not the kind of watch you normally seen from Glashütte Original, with a skeleton movement.

This manual winded movement that shows a lot of parts.

The gold case is 42mm and the dial is galvanized silver and skeletonized.

The movement have a power reserve of 40 hours +- 5%.

28800 bph and 19 jewels incl screw-mounted gold chatons.

There is a lot of things to look at when we getting a little close.

A real nice art work.

It's cool to see the jewel at the other side of the balance wheel.

The backside is a feast for the eyes too.

 

The Glashütte Original Senator Moon Phase Skeletonized Edition Ref 1-49-13-15-04-30

 

Now we pull out the white gold model.

Here we have moon phase and power reserve meter and a small second hand.

So here is a lot of things going on.

I'm not a big fan of skeleton watches but I can always appreciate the craftsmanship.

The galvanized silver dial made a great frame to the movement.

The logo at the movement too.

And of course.

The 5 screw-mounted gold chatons.

The backside here it's a little more complex than the other movement.

Here we have 35 jewels incl.5 screw-mounted gold chatons and 28800 bph.

I love how the balance wheel looks floating here.

The blued hands really helps to read the time, I've seen skeleton watches with silver/gold hand that is impossible to read the time.

Side by side.

Then I want to finish with a couple of wristshots.

to see what you can made on a top notch movement. We normally see those skeletons made on cheap movements. So this is a good example how to appreciate art even if you never will own one.

You have a point.

a Porsche? If so, I would take the car even though the watch is extremely nice. YOUR PHOTOS ARE FAR BETTER THAN THOSE ON THE GO WEBSITE! BRAVO! Mike PS I see it's far more affordable than the car! ...  

Hehehe... Same for me.

I am with you...the workmanship (and patience to do this) is amazing...

...but a bit busy, and severely compromises the legibility...

I wish GO made smaller watches

a 42mm dress watch is not a good look imo, it's a shame because I like some of their designs
