Senator Chronometer Regulator In creating themagnificent Senator Chronometer Regulator, Glashütte has taken the characteristic hand arrangements that are familiar from historic regulators and reimagined them on a scale suitable for an exclusive luxury wristwatch.

Centrally located in smaller areas of the dial, above andbelowtheminute hand, are the hour and second hands mounted and operating on a single axis.
