Refreshing post - thank you!
Thank you for your post on the GO Calendar Week. This is one of my favorite watches and we do not speak much about it here. There is also the ALS 1815 KALENDERWOCHE, but IMHO no other calendar week watch compares to the movement inside the GO Calendar Wee...
Hi Decksurgeon! I have a question for you:
The Caliber 100 housed in precious metal cases came with gold chatons but it seems not being the case anymore. Can you confirm that? Regards, Marcelo
excellent question & astute observation..... need to check this out in-depth
as I have not noticed myself till you mentioned it. From observation of the pictures in possession, I can conclude that: (1) that the chaton group that is perhaps "variable" is shown with RED arrows below. the blue arrows show the jeweled section of the w...
Thanks for the kind reply! You were astute too :-)
I haven’t noticed there was a jeweled section with no gold chatons in the Caliber 100. From my recent observations of several pictures of recent purchased precious metal GO Senator(s) I concluded no model, regardless the case material – gold o...
The information on the Gold Chatons mystery....
Spent some time asking about the gold chatons in quesiton and i have learnt the info to share: the gold chatons appear in the Cal 100 in the following: - In the very first First 108 pieces of the Senator Automatic when the Cal 100 was first launched (exac...
Thanks a lot, Decksurgeon! But I’m still confused…
I first took part on a discussion regarding the Caliber 100 gold chatons after reading this post you’ve collaborated to with superb pictures. I understand that the Senator Perpetual Calendar in platinum featured on it is not one of the 200 pieces yo...
nice review
as i've written elsewhere, my mechanical interests are fairly rudimentary compared to 99% of you folks, but the aesthetics of the calendar week watch have always caught my eye. it just looks great, and i loved the double big date approach. that always str...
thank you....
for a great report of a great watch True, we do not see much of this special watch with a very clean and Germanic dial Cheers
Nice report. I own one...
even though I live in Singapore as well , as I am attracted by the aesthetic of its dial – clean and understated. I don't use the functions on most of my watches anyway. At least I have the very useful panorama datum and day functions on this piece. Goh...
first time i've seen this great looking complication
its amazing that something seemingly so simple as counting the weeks is so complicated to do. its a lovely clean look as with most GO's. has anyone considered if it would also look good if they replaced the week counter with the month 1-12 counter to give...
Thank you very much
..., Decksurgeon, for pojnting our attention to this exceptional complication and for your fine report! It is really amazing how complicated the calendar week feature is executed in this watch and how well this complexity is conceiled. Here in Germany eve...
Superb post, Decksurgeon!
Understated is beautiful, specially in this case. I didn't pay attention ot it till I saw it in the flesh, and, lie you, I was puzzled by its elegance. As for the movement, a pure G.O! Thanks for this informative and funny post! Best, Nicolas
some more pics ...
Hi, I am pleased to see that this very much underrated model receives some additional attention here. Let me add a view pics from mine, here in Germany. I also add the picture I have received from GO, explaining the complexity of the watch (unfortunately ...
Grazi, Stefan . . .
. . . the 'exploded diagram' (yes, I do remember your last post!) is most welcome. Are you able to use the uncommon complication afforded by the Calendar Week functionally in your line of business? Cordially, Art
the perfect business watch ....
Hi Art ! Indeed. The "exploded diagram" ... ) That was me .... As one of the other members from Germany said earlier. The calendar week is an extremely usefull complication for business. At least in Germany delivery time for instance is very often stated ...
Thanks, Decks . . . I was away when you posted this review . . .
. . . and wasn't able to respond until the following weekend. As it happens, the photos I wanted to use in my reply went awol when I tried to post a response. Now that they're back, here's a photo of one of G O's master watchmakers assembling a Calendar W...
Pleased you found these, Art …
I love to see photos from manufactures. It’s the best way to connect with the human side that goes into our beloved timepieces. I’ve just saved these images in my HD in case they should go missing again in the future. Andrew ;-)
