Glashutte Original

Introduction

A company with roots dating back to the 19th century, Glashütte Original creates complex mechanical timepieces of grand stature. Reclaiming its former position of glory, this brand is dedicated to horological excellence—producing watches that are beautiful both inside and out.
Originally founded as “Glashütte” in 1845, the brand produced some of the finest timepieces in Germany’s history. But in 1951 the company’s business was stifled by the East German government, which merged the Saxony region’s various watch brands into one company. However, following the German reunification in 1990, Glashütte proudly reestablished itself.
In 1994, Glashütte Original was formed and two years later the brand unveiled its first watches. Its timepieces met with marked satisfaction from collectors around the world thanks to the company’s excellent craftsmanship and elegant designs.
