Glashutte Original Senator Diary

New color combo…
Elite “Made in Germany” watch brand Glashütte Original gives us a sneak peak of what is to come at Baselworld 2011 (March 2011).  Unfortunately it is not a “new” model — but I’ll still take it ;-)   The Glashutte Senator Diary made its world debut at Baselworld last year, and the watch seems to have been well received by Glashütte enthusiasts.  Thus is makes sense this year to see Glashütte presenting the Senator Diary in a new, white gold version with a charcoal grey dial and matching grey Nubuk leather strap.  This new color scheme looks great.  The technical accomplishment of this watch is its mechanical alarm function that can be set up to 30 days in advance. Practical?  Maybe.  Horologically impressive? Definitely (the diary appointment module alone consists of 340 components).  The price of this new Senator Diary will likely be in the $15,000-$20,000 range, which is about par for the course a brand as prestigious as Glashütte.
