You're the G O forum's Man of the Month, Ken! It is indeed . . .
. . . a happy Fourth of July. Fabulous photos, btw, that clearly show the hand-painted porcelain dial, and I'm glad to see that G O has chosen to fit the watch with both a deployant and a thickly padded strap; I can appreciate elegance of design, but a nod towards utility is welcome, too. The classical formula of a relatively slender watch equipped with a thin strap and buckle isn't as practical for constant wear, which I'm sure your Meißen will surely get. Be assured that there is a stopping point for the cal 49 manual winding movement, and please don't overwind it accidentally, as it will be going right back to Glashütte if you do :-(. Personally, I think the formula for this design is just perfect - I wouldn't burden it with a complication of any kind, and while I would love to see a Senator Sixties equipped with a three-handed version of the cal 49, I feel that in this configuration the minimalist two-handed approach is more natural and pleasant . . . cordially, Art
Meissen, finally....
