I think I found my new grail watch. Well, achievable Grail at least…
One of the most beautiful, yet understated dress watches I have ever seen, with a very unique complication that sets it aside from the other watches out there. The Senator Diary has an alarm that can be set to go off any time in the next 30 days ahead! The alarm allows you to specify a date for it to go off as well in addition to the time.
The exhibition case back of the Senator Diary is also very nice looking, as most Glashutte Original watches are.
This beauty features GO’s in-house manufacture Calibre 100-13 and totals 600 components! And of course also features GO’s signature 3/4 plates. Case measures a healthy 42mm in diameter.
Available in stainless steel with black dial for $18,100 and in rose gold with silver dial for $29,400. The Rose gold version is my grail! Hell, a lot of the higher end Glashutte Originals end up feeling like Grail watches to me. I just really like their stuff!
Just posted a new Video Review of my wife’s Breitling SuperOcean Heritage 38. This is the 38mm diameter model that features Breitling’s new Calibre 37 movement, and is the first watch to feature this movement. While ths is a mens watch, the size worked well on my wife’s wrist and we went with the matching SuperOcean Heritage watches.
Two new Eterna’s to hit the street… which are interesting since these seem to harken back to their glory days rather than the newer direction that brand had been taking. Those guys over at Eterna can’t seem to make up their mind, similar to Zenith. But maybe its just because these are “Heritage” models.
I was digging the new Eterna In-House movements, and now we’re back to ETA. I understand that Eterna created ETA, but still.

In January, Gerald Genta and Daniel Roth, two luxury watch brands under the Bulgari Umbrella were consolidated into the main Bulgari brand and now all watches will feature the Bulgari namesake and branding. The newest watches from this integration were unvieled at Baselworld.
The “merger” was meant to help strengthen the Bulgari brand, allowing it to benefit from the horological expertise of the Genta/Roth brands. The dials of the new watches will still bare their original Roth or Genta logos in addition to the Bulgari branding.
