Glashutte watch history
A company with roots dating back to the 19th century, Glashutte 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 “Glashutte” 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, Glashutte proudly reestablished itself.
In 1994, Glashutte 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.
In the year 2000, The Swatch Group purchased Glashutte and vowed to continue in the company’s traditions. All timepieces are created in limited editions and are mechanical masterpieces that blend state-of-the-art technology with traditional horology.
Among the shining stars created by Glashutte are a column-wheel chronograph movement and a caliber fitted with a tourbillon escapement.
In fact, the company has 10 proprietary movements, a watch line comprised of five different collections, and a host of master complications—all created in limited editions.
Most recently the brand unveiled two new models inspired by its very successful, long-since sold-out PanoRetroGraph watch. The newest timepieces, the PanoReserve and the PanoGraph, take their design inspirations from the original model.
The elegant dials feature an off-center hour and minute display and a subsidiary seconds hand. Glashutte developed new, exceptionally lavish, manually wound movements for these watches.
