Executive: Mr. Steve Cohen Website: www.glashuette-original.com A company with roots dating back to the 19th century, Glash�tte 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 �Glash�tte� 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, Glash�tte proudly reestablished itself. In 1994, Glash�tte 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 Glash�tte 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 Glash�tte 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. Glash�tte developed new, exceptionally lavish, manually wound movements for these watches. |
