Reviewing The Yellow Gold Glashütte Original Senator Diary Copy Watch

The yellow gold Glashütte Original Senator Diary repilca watch features a lovely alarm clock complication that lets you set alarm time for up to 31 days in the future.

 

The first group was designed for the tasks where even a slight error in measurements could mean loss of dozens of lives. As they evolved, the original mechanical chronometers were made obsolete by electronic devices based on quartz piezo-electric oscillators that, in their own turn, use signals from high-precision atomic clocks to correct their readings. As does your notebook PC and, if the special software installed, your smartphone.

The answer is simple, because those questions are irrelevant. From the very inception of a personal (i.e. portable) watch, the market was divided between watches as tools and watches as accessories.

Who needs an alarm wrist watch now, when just about everyone seem to have an iPad or a Blackberry in their pockets and purses? Can such a device compete with professional organizers and GTD software that lets you plan your life for the next decade and beyond? Why does anyone need a wrist watch, for starters, if you have an iPhone in your pocket or a notebook screen right in front of your eyes?

Also, since any of this kind of best quality Glashutte Original copy watches is basically a piece of very expensive jewelry, they also have to feature intricate decoration on their dials, bodies and even movements. That is the idea of just about any mechanical watch in the price range of €5000 and above: to impress the public.

The new Glashütte Original Senator Diary is all that: a beautifully crafted expensive accessory with an elaborated 31-day alarm clock complication that gives its proud owner something to brag about during the happy hour.

Delivered in a mid-sized 42 mm case, which is both elegant and cool, the watch features GO’s new Caliber 100-13 automatic movement. According to the German brand, the beautifully decorated caliber, which perfectly visible through the watch’s transparent case back, is basically the same double-barrel Caliber 100-03 we have seen in the new Senator Sixties Panorama Date timepiece with an added alarm clock module.

Being one of the best manufacture automatic movements on the market, the Caliber 100-03 features a unique time reset mechanism that leaves the second hand connected neither to the winding stem nor the crown so the movement continues to tick even after you pull the crown and start setting the watch. To reset the second hand to zero position, you have to press a separate button on the side of the case.

To our sheep though. The Diary Module that consists of whopping 340 parts, is, to my knowledge, the only alarm complication that allows the owner to set alarm for as long as 31 days with 15 minute precision.

Pressing the pusher one more time, you set the alarm on. Just don’t forget to wind it with the same crown at 10 o’clock so that the module has enough juice to keep the alarm ringing for the whole 60 seconds.

To set the alarm, you should first set the desired date on the dial located at 9 o’clock. This is done with a push-piece at 8 clock and a crown at 10 o’clock. Then, using the same controls, you can set the desired time of the alarm on the 24 hour scale located at 6 o’clock. The scale lets you set the alarm with 15-minute steps from 0:15 to 24:00 hours.

As usual, the watch is delivered either in a stainless steel (ref. 100-13-02-02-04) or in a rose gold case (ref. 100-13-01-01-04.) The former features white gold hour, minute and sweep second hands eternally circling its galvanized black dial and the latter is presented with a set of rose gold hour, minute and sweep second hands and applied rose gold hour markers on its galvanized silver dial.

The fact that the elegant Glashutte copy watch can also measure time with more or less acceptable precision just makes this piece of jewelry a trifle more useful than a class ring.
