Glashütte Original launches new generation of timepieces

Calibre 36 combines maximum stability, precision, running time and aesthetics

Glashütte, July 2016

The watchmakers of Glashütte Original strive to achieve nothing less than maximum precision and quality. The manufactory Calibre 36 – the heart of the new Senator Excellence – takes this credo to a new level. With a special engraving on the case back as well as an individual examination certificate for each new watch, Glashütte Original offers customers a promise of quality. This guarantees that every Senator Excellence watch meets the highest standards in terms of stability, precision, a running time of at least 100 hours, and timeless beauty, and also assures that it has been thoroughly tested in a long-term examination lasting 24 days.

Following a successful inaugural presentation at Baselworld 2016, the international launch of three beautifully designed versions of the Senator Excellence has begun. Its automatic Calibre 36 movement is characterised by a perfectly harmonious constellation of four fundamental attributes:

Stability – Reliability without compromise
The maximum stability of its timepieces – in terms of both rate precision and robust construction – is one of the major themes of the Glashütte Original brand. As a result, with the Calibre 36 the designers intentionally reduced the number of parts and eliminated components that were potentially vulnerable to wear and tear, such as the winding system’s detent click, whose role is now performed by the bi-directional wind reduction gear. A more substantial stability is enhanced as well by the bayonet mount used to secure the movement in the case. This renders the construction as a whole extremely shock-resistant and, at the same time, easy to assemble and service.
