    What does the I/SA mean beside Glashutte? Always been curious about that?

    In Saxony. Has implications for how much of the piece is made there etc.

    Absolutely beautiful but a little out of my price range I'm afraid.

    They have a steel "Entry level" watch with a less decorated movement that retails for about 8k

    A somewhat similar design from Glashutte Original. These 'severe'. designs seem a feature of Saxony....Calvinistic I suppose.

    This is a version of the Senator Excellence. Great watch to wear, elegant but understated. Love it. 7k retail, but at least it feels expensive. They do make fine watches in Glashutte. Led by ALS. Not bad for such a small place.

    Just had a look at their site but, unfortunately, the cheap one (!) Isn't as appealing.

    Similar question could be asked of a Grönefeld, Kari Voutilainen, the Micro Artist Studio Grand Seikos, and even the new British made Charles Frodsham — hand assembly, hand polished watches have a tendency to cost considerable amounts of money.

    Bit late to this party -- but, IMHO, the "cheap one" is very appealing. Or, at least sufficiently so for my taste . . . . .








    Must admit though, in time it is going to have to be joined by a Benu

    Glashutte have some fine watches, it's a pity these examples are out of my price range! Think Nomos would be more affordable for me!

    I agree. It’s nice yes, but just nice. A little bit underwhelming though. And does little for me to justify that price tag

    Yes, Nomos are nice too -- gratuitous pics of my Zürich Braungold below.

    Good quality Glashütte watches are also available from Tutima, Mühle, Union (GO's "second label") and Söhnle -- but, if you want in-house movements, I think Nomos is the least expensive . . . .

    Another recommendation for Nomos. If you like the styling and the lugs I think you get a great watch for the money, particularly if having an in house movement is important to you (it is to me and I have 2 of them).

    As to a much earlier comment about 28k for a three hander if I had the money, very highly unlikely though that is, simple high end three handers are what I would be looking at
