Glashütte Original unveils the Senator Chronometer Tourbillon, a horological marvel boasting the patented Flyback Tourbillon, limited to just 50 pieces.
When it comes to esteemed pioneering watchmakers, the legacy of a truly inspiring timepiece lives on forever through modern renditions and evolving technology. The luxury German watchmakers at Glashütte Original have introduced a groundbreaking era of haute horology with its all-new Senator Chronometer Tourbillon, featuring the patented Flyback Tourbillon. This modern marvel of precision seemingly defies physics as it momentarily halts, effortlessly rotates, and effortlessly returns to its original position. A nod to Glashütte’s historic past, the new timepiece release takes inspiration from the legendary “whirlwind” mechanism created in 1920 by master watchmaker Alfred Helwig. This modern movement addresses long-standing horological challenges by utilizing a unique synchronization system for the second and minute hands, setting new standards in precision timekeeping. Glashütte Original’s success in innovation is further showcased by two patents protecting this revolutionary construction.
Each watch undergoes a rigorous 15-day testing phase by the independent Thuringian Weights and Measures Office to validate its compliance with the DIN 8319 official chronometer standard. Inside the 42mm platinum case lies the heart of the watch, the manual winding Calibre 58-06. Boasting a 70-hour power reserve, the movement reveals the genius of the Flyback Tourbillon. The intricate laser-engraved decorative finish on the movement and the exquisite Clous de Paris pattern accentuates the dial’s design. The sun and moon’s celestial positioning on the day/night display adds a touch of cosmic elegance, solidifying the watch’s place as a masterpiece in watchmaking. Available from October 2023, this limited edition of the Senator Chronometer Tourbillon is a coveted piece, exclusively available at Glashütte Original Boutiques and select retailers globally.
