PanoMatic Counter XLWell, this concept is almost so simple you wouldn’t think it has any value. But for some reason the Glashütte Original PanoMatic Counter XL has made the prospect of “counting” quite enticing. As GO says, “One. Two. Three….that’s a start. Now use your imagination” Red numerals appear on a black ground in a double-digit window positioned at 9 o’clock. The wearer activates the counter using three pushers positioned on the left side of the stainless steel case. The plus pusher at 9 o’clock moves the count forward, one unit at a time, from 00 to 99; the minus pusher at 8 o’clock counts down, and the zero pusher at 10 o’clock resets to zero (00). Counter aside, this is one sharp looking watch:

132,74 KBSenator DiaryTechnical triumph – a mechanical alarm that can be set up to 30 days in advance…
Well, it looks like it will be another great year for perhaps my favorite brand, Glashütte Original, “Made in Germany”. While I do not see any “Senator Chronometer’s” in the mix (a particular model that GO introduced last year that was a huge hit for the brand), I can say that the master watchmakers in Glashütte, Germany managed to maintain the high standards of the brand again this year with a very solid lineup of new watches. Design-wise, they did not go far from the brand’s core look and feel or push the envelope too hard, but instead came up with several solid new watches that are elegant and beautiful. Technically/mechanically, they are putting forth at least one or two interesting new complications, and the first that I would like to highlight comes from the new Senator Diary. This watch has a mechanical alarm function that can be set up to 30 days in advance. This is a world first, and for a mechanical watch is quite impressive if you think about it. This watch also looks beautiful and is perhaps my favorite from Glashütte Original this year.
The Senator Diary is available as described above and in a version featuring a rose gold
case, rose gold hour, minute and sweep second hands and applied rose gold hour
markers on a galvanized silver dial. The date indicator on the diary alarm subdial is in blue,
as is the small arrow indicating the diary alarm time aperture at 6 o’clock. Both versions
feature a finely worked black Louisiana alligator leather strap.
