Finished with the Glashütte stripes, blued screws and the two- tone galvanized skeletonized rotor.  With it’s black Louisiana alligator leather strap with white gold foldover clasp you can secure it to your wrist without risking to drop it.



Master watchmaker Alfred Helwig

In watchmaking a tourbillon (French for whirlwind) is one of the most high-end horological complications. Originally developed by Abraham Louis Breguet in 1801 to compensate for the effects of gravity on the precision of mechanical (pocket) watches. This watch carries the name of the inventor of the flying tourbillon. This advanced version was built by Alfred Helwig in 1920 and differs from the classic tourbillion primarily in terms of aesthetics. Anchored on one side only, it has no need for the top bridge which offeres an unobstructed view of this beautiful complication.

Master watchmaker Alfred Helwig was born in the region of Niederlausitz where he graduated with honours in 1905. After completing his training at the German Watchmaking School of Glashütte he remained a loyal teacher for over forty years. Alfred Helwig is considered one of the most important figures in the history of Glashütte watchmaking. And so is his invention of the Flying Tourbillon from 1920. Today his name graces the Glashütte Original watchmaking school, located in the same building where he once worked and taught, educating the future of the Glashütte art of watchmaking.



The flying tourbillon from Glashütte Original weighs only 0.2 grams and exists of 72 finely finished components. Each is finished and assembled entirely by hand.

The Glashütte Original Senator Tourbillon Alfred Helwig Edition is limited to 25 numbered editions.

Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar: Excellent premiere ...

Excellent premiere of a refined complication

The perpetual calendar is considered one of the most desirable of complications in the art of watchmaking, and one that is expressive of a wealth of craft traditions. Its sophisticated mechanisms bear witness to the expertise, manual dexterity and passion of its developers: a calendar function that assures the correct constellation of date, weekday and leap year up to the year 2100 A.D. has every right to proclaim itself eternal.

With the Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar, Glashütte Original lends this refined complication a particularly contemporary appearance. At the same time the manufactory maintains the new standard set by the Calibre 36 and raises it to the highest level of the watchmaker's art. The model is thus the most recent highlight in a new generation of timekeepers. They offer proof of their excellence in the form of a certificate documenting the exceptional results of extensive in-house testing of each and every watch.

"Time traveler" by Rhonda Riche

In her short film the Canadian watch and lifestyle journalist Rhonda Riche tells the story of a personal experience that presents at the same time a deeply felt perspective on the brand. With great affection Riche tells of a very special discovery, which led to an unusual journey and underscores the importance of home and family. At the heart of the film is an old GUB ladies watch from the 1970s, which she purchased at a flea market in Toronto. To take this watch “home” to Glashütte, to trace its heritage and to undertake research to discover how the history of the company inspires the current collection — this is the plot that drives the film, and is, at the same time, Riche’s own very personal connection to Glashütte Original.

"Phoenix rising" by Brice Goulard

Brice Goulard is a watch expert, and associate editor for Monochrome Watches, an influential watch blog dedicated to high-end watchmaking.

In a factual yet personal manner he tells of his fascination for the rich heritage of watchmaking in Glashütte and for the knowledge that this carries, knowledge which has been handed down from one generation to the next and maintained, despite crises and wars, from 1845 to the present, a living history.
