Since the foundation by F.A. Lange of the first watchmaking company in the German town of Glashutte Chronometer in 1845, Glashutte Original has always known how to meet its customers’ demands for high precision and outstanding quality. Joining the Swatch Group at the end of the last century, the brand continues to pursue this tradition today, creating mechanical masterpieces in accordance with the rigorous standards of the Saxon art of watchmaking.

The characteristics of the classic Glashutte Original design transform each mechanical movement into a miniature masterpiece epitomizing the German values of quality, precision and reliability. The Glashütte Original watchmaking company is one of the oldest in Germany to have always made its own models. It attaches great importance to human skill and expertise. While traditional methods have survived throughout the centuries, the brand also makes use of leading-edge technology in many ways, for example in manufacturing components and carrying out quality testing.

The brand’s masterpieces evoke fascination due to the passion and high precision that drive their development. Limited-edition models such as those dedicated to Julius Assmann and Alfred Hewig, and its timepieces decorated with Meissen porcelain dials are much sought-after by collectors.
