Glashütte Original Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar

The Glashütte Original Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar is a masterclass in German watchmaking. If there is one thing that Glashütte Original does exceptionally well, it is combining traditional Saxon watchmaking with modern innovation – and the Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar is a prime example of this. It is not just another perpetual calendar; it is one of the most sophisticated and user-friendly implementations of complications in modern watchmaking. Housed in a 42mm stainless steel case, the watch strikes the perfect balance between classic elegance and everyday wearability. The layout is clear, intuitive and beautifully balanced, with a large date at 4 o’clock, moon phase at 8 o’clock and the day and month neatly arranged for easy reading. Unlike many perpetual calendars that can seem cluttered, this one demonstrates Glashütte’s flair for subtle design. Inside is an in-house automatic movement offering a 100-hour power reserve, a silicon balance spring for improved accuracy, and a standard of finish that rivals some of the best in the business. The movement is visible through a sapphire caseback, revealing the distinctive three-quarter plate, blue screws, and hand-decorated rotor. Functionally, this watch is a dream. All calendar indications are synchronized and can be adjusted using a single crown, making setting and maintaining a perpetual calendar much less intimidating than usual. This is a perpetual calendar designed for use, not just for collectors' safes.
