Picked this up in a sale they had on their website a few years ago for a really good price (50% off I think?). Always loved their design language.

Also a fan!

New one for me today:



Glashutte Senator Cosmopolite in white gold. Heavy but still comfortable and a nice complication.

fk yes that is a thing of beauty!

Edit to add, also love the split date wheel.

Wow, I love that! Just shows watches don't have to be expensive to be great. Think I might get myself one.

So in one of the small windows on the left you can get every time zone like a world time watch?? ie NY, Delhi etc etc?

There are 35 time zones, 8 that are half hour differences and 3 with three quarter hour differences.

It's quite a thing to be honest.

That's actually amazing, I love it!

Are the two bottom left windows independent?

No, they're linked; the upper window is for DST and the lower for "normal" time.

What's cool is that it works the opposite way to e.g. a JLC geographic. Changing the zone in the little windows doesn't change the local time; instead when you change the local time the window contents change to tell you which time zone you're in relative to your home time.

[Sporky]

Ah - thank you. I was trying to work out how the two windows could operate. Quire a magnificent bit of engineering - and I'm somewhat amazed that it's possible to tell the time reasonably accurately with a tiny wrist-mounted box of levers and springs and gears. Let alone add all of that.

Casioak.

Absolutely! Though it has proved to be somewhat of a gateway, so I'm sure it will result in some future expenses
