b16a2 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 For a long time I have been looking to buy a nice and simple dress watch. Glashutte is a brand that has really grown on me since joining Timezone a few years ago. When I saw the Senator Sixties for sale on Watchmarks website I knew I had to give it a go. So, here is the review of my Glashutte Senator Sixties. History Glashutte has a history of making timepieces that stretches back over 150 years. The company became privatised in 1994 taking on the name of Glashutte Original. (Glashutte is a small town in Germany that means tin/silver mine.) The company now comes under the umbrella of ownership which incorporates A. Lange & Sohne During World War II Glashutte was responsible for making watches for the Navy and Air Force of Germany. The Senator Sixties is based on its predecessor; the Glashutte Spezimatic which was developed in the 1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shundi Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I just tried one of these on at an AD... beautiful piece- timeless elegance is really the only way to sum up the "vibe" it gives off... the movement on the genuine is exquisite with many of the gears exhibiting snailing and the overall very, very high level finish that German brands are famous for... Unless someone owns the genuine article, they'd probably think the handwind Asian version is just as nicely finished... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobs1971 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Thnx for the great review! I'm wondering if the black version also have been repped. For the money it's an awesome dresswatch. The gen Senator 60s chrono is on my dream wishlist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b16a2 Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Thanks everyone. The Sixties was a watch I hadn't even considered until I went on a random browse at Watchmark and saw it there. The quality fo the finish really is astounding in the flesh, certainly not what you would expect for such a small price! @Scoobs - The black version has been repped and it looks stunning, HikeUSA has the Rose Gold version, here is a picture he posted in another topic; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
