Quality is not a Question of Time.

Timepieces in the past: Tradition of watchmaking originated from 1845 when Ferdinand A. Lange, a supplier of Imperial Court, established his first watch workshop in Glashutte. These workshops are well known all over the world due to the original watches produced by Julius Assmann, Ferdinand A. Lange and Johan Durstein. Since then the timepieces marked "Glashutte" are where the necessity in quality and high precision is. The rules once set by the great masters are still strictly obeyed in the production of mechanical masterpieces.

Challenge of time: The Company faced difficulties as the Second World War started. The production of the watch companies was also subdued to the war needs. For example, Glashutte chronometers for pilots were classified during the second year of war. During the 8th of May 1945 Soviet fighters were chasing the withdrawing German tank stanchion. As a result the premise of Glashutte factory was damaged by the shells. Later the factory was expropriated by the Soviet representatives. It was a period of silence for long 40 years. In 1994 the Company survived renaissance and started again the manufacturing of high quality watches maintaining old masters' traditions.

Handmade masterpieces: The Glashutte movements are especially thoroughly assembled by hand with the details produced exclusively in Glashutte workshops: this brings a real charm to the mechanical watches with a marking 'Made in Germany'. Such watches as Glashutte Original can appear only where the traditions are preserved. At the processing and in the production of new watch movements standard qualities are maintained and realized in high quality hand assembly so characteristic for Glashutte Original. During the most important stages of assembly influencing maximum precision and long life of movements, innovative technologies are applied. As a result the company can offer its watch movements with the classical marking: "Made in Glashutte". This is the way that tradition continues.

In 1999 manufacture united one of the classical complicated functions with the modern tendencies: there appeared an eternal calendar with the wide ("panoramic") date window. A very large window is located on the dial in "two o'clock" position. Thus a combination of the traditional watch movements with up-to-date requirements for precision and readability appeared.
