Glasshutte Original

[Jakx]

what do TRF members think of Glasshutte Original? Do movements function as well as they look in terms of reliability and accuracy? They seem to be a good value e.g. hand date

Beautiful watches. The quality and finish on their movements is amazing. Hoping to own one myself one day.

Really like their Senator line

Nice watches but I just really love saying Glas-hooter org-inal.

G O are fabulous. I have four in my collection. Their famous big date is a unilevel two digit , which functions more satisfyingly than any other Big date I know of. The movement quality and finish is exceptional, as is everything else.
I have the Sport evolution,Two Senators,( perpetual calendar in Platinum and Calendar week in RG) and a Panomatic Lunar. Reliability and accuracy is second to none.




Here are a couple of movements to look at

The PC,



Panomatic



This is their uni-level Big date;



Compared to Lange's which was actually a JLC design, which was handed to Lange, shortly after JLC designed a much better one.


There are many times I would have bought a Lange, IMO their overall movement finish is slightly better. But I could not live with that two digit date after the GO perfection.

No offense to any Lange owners. I happen to think that aside from the date issue they are probably the best watchmakers around.

GO makes great watches and movements. I've never had a bad experience nor have I heard anything bad about them.

IMO it's not an ALS but it's not far off.

Great pieces, fabulous movement finishing and surprisingly good value if you buy used.

This has always highly bothered me about Lange. Its just done so well on the GO and stand out so much on the Lange.

Great info about the GO date mechanism. This may explain the big jump in price when a model has the panorama date.

Beautiful watches! them!

[Touring]

An under the radar WIS brand with amazing finishing. Truly quality watches when you get a chance to hold them, but that don't feel like they need to be babied.

Was in the market for either a Panomatic Linar or Senator with Power Reserve Display (the latter has a gorgeous guilloche dial), but in the end, the elegance and simplicity of the Senator Automatic won out.

You won't regret buying one.

Great watches

[beshannon]

That hand date is a real beauty.

I had a Sport Evo that I sold mainly due to the size and weight but I loved the watch

[Presa canary]

You can not go wrong with a GO. And yes, they're accurate

[hotsauz]

I am set for the senator panorama date moonphase in the near future. it's just sexy.

[PatekCollector]

Nice watches with awesome movements. Even their prices are very reasonable.
