When seconds turn into significant moments, something very special is often created.

A decision becomes a success, a victory turns into a triumph, and a “yes” is transformed into a promise for life. The [[Glashütte Original - Senator Chronometer|Senator Chronometer]] was made just for such precious moments.

As unique as life itself, it is an uncompromising acknowledgement to the value of every single second. [[Bild:Glashütte Original - Senator Chronometer Ref 58-01-01-01-04 back.jpg|thumb|left|Manual winding caliber 58-01]] The Glashütte watchmakers have therefore taken all the time necessary to develop a manually wound caliber to make the Senator Chronometer the ideal companion for the perfect moments in life – and for the moments along the way – with its high precision rate and excellent finishing.

Under the motto „Moments. Seconds. Emotions.“ the first masterpieces with official chronometer certificate were presented on Friday, 9 October. As a German luxury manufactory, Glashütte Original combined three exclusive addresses: the German capital Berlin which is full of history, the majestic grand hotel Adlon and its longstanding partner, the retailer Juwelier Leicht.

More than 30 watch aficionados were invited to the prestigious “Unter den Linden” to discover personally the precise and precious watch.

After a reception at the boutique, the delightful atmosphere of the winter garden of the hotel provided the perfect backdrop to the presentation of the watch.

For Günter Wiegand, Managing Director of Glashütte Original, it was a special moment to present the chronometer after more than three years of development.

The designation 58-01 sees the Senator Chronometer’s caliber modestly following the usual nomenclature, even thought its “inner values” are anything but ordinary.

In additional to its officially certified chronometer precision, a first for the manufactory, this movement offers an innovative reset mechanism that has the second hand precisely return to zero that makes setting the time much easier.

The movement designers also premiered a very quick date change at midnight in this [[caliber]]. Guests could experience both functions as well as the useful day/night indication in animated graphics.

On the case back an anti-reflective [[sapphire crystal]] provides a fascinating view of the artful mechanics: the finely decorated [[three-quarter plate]], screw-mounted gold [[chaton]]s, and the hand-engraved [[balance cock]] shine in this setting – without a trace of false modesty.

For emotional insights into this microcosm the manufactory had especially brought along a watchmaker to answer all technical questions who also enabled the guests to experience for themselves the fascination of the [[chronometer]].

No other than master chef Mario Gamba guaranteed culinary delights during the evening who shared personal stories and anecdotes, thus creating emotionally charged moments in time.

Watch aficionados can admire the Senator Chronometer until the end of October in a special exhibition in the grand hotel Adlon, Berlin.

Until the end of 2009, this masterpiece will be exclusively distributed by only a few selected partners world-wide.

Interested watch enthusiasts are invited to contact the sales team of Glashütte Original ([mailto:info@glashuette-original.com info@glashuette-original.com]) to obtain a list of authorized dealers who will have the Senator Chronometer in their stores before Christmas.
