Glashütte Original Reinvents Tourbillon Precision with its Esteemed Senator Chronometer Tourbillon Premiere Watch

In the early 1800s, John Arnold and Abraham-Louis Breguet set the foundation of horological artistry by introducing the world to the tourbillon mechanism. Their mission was to establish a beacon of precision and accuracy resonating across centuries. Subsequent generations of watchmakers, including those at Glashütte Original, have since upheld their legacy, participating in an enduring endeavor to refine this remarkable device.

The Senator Chronometer Tourbillon Premiere highlights the progress made on this journey. With a patented Flyback Tourbillon, it stands as a testament to a revolutionary stride in precision watchmaking. Derived from Helwig’s idea of anchoring the tourbillon only on its underside, the flying tourbillon was born. Deciding to untether the tourbillon, Glashütte moved the escapement and balance wheel into a rotating cage, thereby minimizing gravity’s effects and enhancing accuracy.

The Senator Chronometer Tourbillon Premiere constructs a symphony between art and science in horology. Aesthetically, it stands out with a 42mm platinum case and a laser-engraved Clous de Paris pattern. Functionally, it features a day/night indicator and a 70-hour power reserve. Together, the design and features of this timepiece intertwine the beauty of craftsmanship with the sophistication of engineering. This blend further extends the boundaries of horological artistry while continuing Glashütte’s heritage of precision and innovation.
