Many high-class individuals fetishize the concept of exclusivity. That?s why many of the same people that hoard sought-after timepieces can be found savoring a tumbler of Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 23, or might be spotted on the decade-long waitlist for a bottle of Syrah from the cult winery Sine Qua Non. The idea of exclusivity is of particular relevance in the contemporary watch industry, which is full of deep-pocketed individuals who use their connections to hoard ?hyped-up? watches, creating a legitimate scarcity among ADs and retailers. This, in turn, impacts the general enthusiast from enjoying the fine timepieces like they were meant to. More often than not, brands are passive in letting this happen because, ?Hey, the watches are selling out and ? surprise, surprise ? exclusivity is a great advertisement.?

The brand I?m talking about is Glashütte Original and the watch I have in mind is the Senator Cosmopolite in stainless steel, one of the most underrated releases of 2018.
