Over 170 years ago in Glasheutte, watchmakers settled in, bringing their passion and expertise to develop the art and the Glashutte Original Senator Moon Phase Skeletonized Edition Watch is just one of the results of that creativity. This design features quite a display of hand-engraving to what would be considered an otherwise conservative timepiece. The showcasing of the updated Calibre 49-18 movement allows one to see the engineering first hand and also embraces the artwork side of the design. From the filigree artwork on the dial that is protected by a non-reflective sapphire crystal, to the similar crystal case back, the wearer can visibly enjoy the hand-wound mechanism.

Pocket watches were replaced with wristwatches for men and the design of the square shaped case was born, mainly to accommodate the leather strap, but also as a fashion statement. Bringing that same style and statement back with an elegant retro look, Frederique Constant and the Classics Carree Automatic Watch exemplifies the brand philosophy and sophistication.
