Remind of an answer to GO

You bought an horological masterpiece!
I love this watch and I asked some information via GO website regarding how the watch manage the 52/53 weeks: GO tell me that the watch indicates always 53W (the movement can't distinguish between years with 52 or 53 weeks), otherwise, like other watch which indicates only 52W, you'll must keep stopped the watch for 1W in the year with 53W. For the common year with 52W you must "correct" manually the week indicator from 52 to 53 on the 1st of January.
I'm sure GO will help you very quickly if you send them the question (my experience, AD are probably not well informed about this specific movement)...
Enjoy your watch and let us know if all is OK!

All the best for 2012,

massimiliano

I bought a Senator Calendar Week in 2011 - a beautiful watch and I love it. This new year, I was looking forward to seeing the week display flip to 1. I've read about the complexity in designing a movement that allows this and I was a bit surprised (okay,...

Thank you for looking into this - I got to the Glashutte website, registered, but couldn't figure out how to post. I do really love the watch. It makes no sense to me since week measures aren't used here in the states, but I loved the idea of the complexi...

Thanks for your help. I posted my question on their site and look forward to the response. As far as the Senator Week, I love it. Understated, elegant and it comes with an interesting narrative. It's almost been getting as much wrist time as my Sport Evo....
