 A breath of eternity
A new limited-edition Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar in rose opaline and dark blue

Glashütte Original’s perpetual calendar lifts timekeeping into the realm of art. In its latest version this mechanical masterpiece is already a rarity: the new Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar with a rose opaline dial and a dark blue leather strap will be issued in a limited edition of only 100 pieces.

The mechanisms in motion within the virtuoso composition are no less compelling than the watch’s external beauty. A hand-crafted and finely finished automatic movement from the ateliers of the renowned Saxon manufactory honours every day of the year – from now to eternity (almost).

Harmonious colours: rose opaline meets dark blue

The latest timepiece from German watchmaker Glashütte Original adds a modern and sophisticated couple to the classic business partners black/white and grey/brown: rose/dark blue! The galvanic rose opaline dial is crafted and decorated in an elaborate process with numerous individual steps.

Its silken hue contrasts splendidly with the hand-mounted blue hour appliques, which in this case consist exclusively of Roman numerals.

The deep blue hue is taken up by the finely stepped calendar windows and moon phase display, and by the elegant poire hands and Louisiana alligator leather strap.

The Perpetual Calendar: precision without compromise

The perpetual calendar grand complication has it all. Day of the week? It goes without saying. Panorama Date? A Glashütte Original specialty. Month and leap year? Absolutely! All calendar indications are precisely tailored to suit the various lengths of the months, lending the watch a new look day after day.

Thanks to its astonishing mechanical memory, Glashütte Original‘s Perpetual Calendar won’t need to be reset (in theory, at least) until the year 2100 – which in timekeeping, as in life, amounts to nothing less than a minor eternity.

Made in Glashütte: a watch with character

As a true child of its Glashütte home, the Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar combines filigree decoration, sophisticated mechanics and robust workmanship. The transparent sapphire crystal case back offers a clear view of the highly refined finishing of the automatic movement, its skeletonized rotor and skeletonized Double-G, which renders the rotor even more delicate.

Watch connoisseurs will discover additional typical Glashütte decorations and construction features: the characteristic three-quarter plate with refined Glashütte stripe finish, the hand-engraved balance cock, delicate perlage finishing, blued screws and fine decorative finishes on the wheels and rotor track.

A first class movement: the manufactory calibre 36-12

The priority governing development of this movement was to maximise user friendliness and ease of maintenance. A silicon balance spring guarantees exceptional precision, while a single spring barrel offers a power reserve of more than 100 hours.

Robust stability is assured thanks to an innovative bayonet mounting, which secures the movement in the case. In addition, a conscious effort was made to make it easy to use the watch: the practical universal corrector allows the wearer to set the day, date and month at the same time – which may seldom prove necessary, since the exceptional power reserve maintains the correct interplay of the displays for a long time, even after the watch is set down.

A noble family: Excellence à la Glashütte Original

All models in the Senator Excellence family score points for exceptional precision, stability, running time and beauty.

And they all back up their qualities with an exclusive certificate confirming that each and every Senator Excellence has undergone 24 days of comprehensive testing in the Saxon manufactory. A special engraving on the case back guarantees the quality of each watch. An exclusive online portal also gives owners access to detailed test scores for their watch along with information regarding the individual test procedures.

The new Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar in rose opaline and dark blue is limited to 100 pieces and available from end of October exclusively at Glashütte Original Boutiques and authorised dealers.

Introducing the new Excalibur Spider Huracán Monobalancier (MB), fuelled by the horological excellence of the Maison and the sporting spirit of the Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO 2 racing car.

The resulting combination is a roaring timepiece designed for those who know that slowing down is never an option.

ROGER DUBUIS X LAMBORGHINI SQUADRA CORSE

Always chasing the next thrill, the new Excalibur Spider Huracán MB is just the latest creation to emerge from Roger Dubuis x Lamborghini Squadra Corse.

Moving from track to wrist, it combines the DNA of the Italian supercar with the horological excellence of the Maison and is the embodiment of a partnership defined by radical performance and razor-sharp aesthetics.

 Set to be unveiled as the Lamborghini Super Trofeo championship draws to its adrenaline-charged World Finals, Roger Dubuis invites the brave and bold to witness the official launch of this striking timepiece as they experience the emotions of a world-renowned race at the same time.

POWERED BY RAGING MECHANICS

Built with an automatic monobalancier RD630 calibre, the 45-mm diameter Excalibur Huracán MB channels the same exhilarating blend of performance and power as its motoring namesake.

With a honeycomb motif made famous by the Huracán supercar, the hexagonal dashboard of the Lamborghini Huracán is reflected in the design, while twin barrels and a 12° tilted balance wheel represent the signature calibre associated with Lamborghini Squadra Corse.

When viewed from the back, the semi-skeletonised movement reveals the 360° oscillating mass, which reproduces the like-for-like speed effect of a Huracán wheel rim, while emulating its design too.

Displaying a 60-hour power reserve, this feat of mechanical engineering is born to race in life’s fast track, just like its wearer.

FUELLED BY ADRENALINE

For those who dare to seek out the win, this ground-breaking timepiece is brimming with racing design codes.

The case is made from SMC carbon, a composite material developed in-house and similar to the one used on the Lamborghini Huracán’s monocoque chassis and body panels, while black DLC titanium is used on the bezel.

Taking inspiration from the aerodynamics of the supercars, these materials were specifically chosen for their peak lightness and resistance.

Dressed in a distinctive khaki green and electrifying orange, this timepiece is a stunning demonstration of sharp, super-sleek aesthetics. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTOThe final touch of racing style is brought to the wrist by the crown inspired by the Huracán’s racing nuts and the upper calibre strut-bar bridge, which is reminiscent of those found on the V10 engine itself.

When it comes to the strap, a combination of rubber and Alcantara® ensures ultimate comfort and flexibility.

The inner lining also features the unique Pirelli P ZeroTM Trofeo R pattern, just like the pattern found on the tyres that tear up the track. Finally, a Quick Release System on the buckle and strap guarantees the wearer can change it at pit stop speed.

Limited
to just 88 pieces, the Excalibur Spider Huracán MB is a prime example of what happens when two ground-breaking rulebreakers come together. Because every second of life must be epic.
