Or how to respect the DNA of the brand through two very different complications. Brilliant.

Brothers

In my journey of getting to know the Glashütte Original brand, from the early 2000s, these two models are among those that intrigued me the most, one due to its absolute unusualness and particularly complex movement (the weekly calendar), the other for th...  

Can’t say it better!

Beautiful calendar week

 
 By: epigram : January 16th, 2023-12:03
Except that in my industry we don't reckon time in this way so I find it hard to justify enjoying one Plus this is a manufacture service only calibre so that also weighs the scales against it Maybe one day...

Two example of timeless design from GO. Both stunning

I want to be a brother with any of these

To me it's surprising that calendar week didn't become more popular and even more surprising that GO took it out of production after such a short time. The unique movement must have been both difficult and expensive to produce and then not used in any mod... 

The Kalenderwoche is a quintessential German or European business watch.

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : January 16th, 2023-20:32
The reason being is that periods of calendar weeks are used in the business world in Germany, but not outside that much. GO knew this and as the niche market (unusual complications) is a strategy of GO, not many were built. It is also a quite good prestig... 

It was only made for 6 year

And the numbers of total production stays i Glashütte.

The big question is how long it takes to invent the movement

 
 By: Jocke - Bad Santa : January 16th, 2023-21:29
What I think is strange is that GO didn't make another variant of calendar week so they can still use the movement.

Yes, really strange...

This is not a grail, it is the holy grail

or the Keyzer Söze of watches. Not much people have seen it, only heard about it. 😂😂😂

ROFL! Definitely 😂

Good one! :))))

I will say

 
 By: Jocke - Bad Santa : January 16th, 2023-21:01
Here in Sweden, there are professional groups that work with weekly planning, e.g. the construction industry, the automotive industry, etc. But these professional groups would never use such a watch.

I remember

 
 By: massi. : January 16th, 2023-21:28
reading an article in which GO's technical director explained how the Week calendar was sold at a "low" price because, when it was presented, a price was also communicated, but all the technical aspects had not yet been resolved. Aspects that greatly incr... 

The Kalenderwoche .... that is an important GO, for GO collectors.

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : January 16th, 2023-20:38
It is beautiful, a nice "anual calender" watch and technically unmatched. I don't own a GO, because I want this one to be the one GO I own.

I hope you will find one my friend.

I am trying, thank you dear Jocke.
