Introduction
Founded in 1994 under somewhat similar circumstances to Lange & Söhne following the privatisation of a German watchmaking business, Glashutte Original have established themselves as one of the finest watchmakers in Germany in a relatively short timeframe thanks to their exceptional artisanal craftsmanship, dedication to mechanical excellence and the luxurious execution of their timepieces. A wonderful example of their talents is the Senator Sixties that we have here which was only produced throughout 2019. Featuring a stunning 39mm x 9.4mm stainless steel case and a beautiful fiery orange dial, this timepiece's understated construction reinforces the very essence of German design and engineering through its under-the-radar aesthetic paired with the intense luxury of its uniquely colored dial. Showcasing Glashutte Original’s impressive horological talents through its exhibition caseback that reveals its automatic cal. 39-52 movement, the Senator Sixties is a compelling fusion of modern horology and intelligently-inspired design.

THE DIAL
Showcasing Glashutte Original's impressive ability to create unique dials, this Senator Sixties features a fiery orange dial with a unique texture that brings its colors to life as it moves from a bright orange to a near-black along its dial periphery.
THE CONSTRUCTION
Boasting a 39mm stainless steel case with a reserved design language, the Senator Sixties' aesthetic on the wrist is decidedly classical thanks to its thin bezel, refined bevelled lugs, and large display.
