News: NOMOS Glashütte Autobahn Awarded Gold at the 2019 German Design Awards

The NOMOS Glashütte Autobahn was released in 2018 and it is the most dynamic design from NOMOS Glashütte to date. This minimalist watch has officially joined the top echelons of the international design world by winning the Gold “Excellence in international design” at the 2019 German Design Awards —despite some less than stellar hands-on reviews by some of our competitors. The GDA is presided by the German Design Council, founded as an initiative of the German Federal Parliament in 1953. Since then, it is the leading authority on branding and design in Germany.

Macros: Glashütte Original Senator Observer. A Fascinating Example of German Watchmaking.

The Glashütte Original Senator Observer ref. 100-14-05-02-04 is one of the most classic looking timepieces from this manufacture from Saxony, Germany. The Senator Observer is a watch that takes its inspiration from the observation watches made at Julius Assmann's Glashütte atelier. This stainless steel watch is fitted with a case measuring 44mm in diameter, a display case back and a lacquered silver grained dial with black Arabic numerals featuring a running seconds register at 9, power reserve indicator at 3 and the iconic Glashütte Original Panorama date aperture at 6 o'clock. To complete the elegant look of this timepiece, the watch is fitted with blue anodized hands that provide the perfect contrast against the off-white looking dial and a perfect match to the black alligator strap with deployant buckle.

The watch is powered by the Glashütte Original automatic calibre 100-14 that beats at 28,800 vph and that provides a power reserve of 55 hours when fully wound. The calibre is fully visible via the display case back.  

Now it's time to enjoy the eye candy!
