A look into history
Glashütte is not only known for its wonderful watches, but also for its over 175-year tradition of watchmaking. The German Watch Museum documents this exciting story that began in 1845 with Ferdinand A. Lange. At that time the region was characterized by poverty, but over the years Glashütte has developed into a renowned center for precision technology. Today there are ten large watch manufacturers here, all of which are known for their excellent quality and craftsmanship.
The most expensive watch from Glashütte Original is also a particularly hot item: the Senator Grande Cosmopolite Tourbillon, which is limited to just 25 pieces and has a price of 325,000 euros. That much money for a watch? But Glashütte watches have their price, because 95% of the parts are manufactured in-house and are of the highest quality. The brandsGlashütte Original,A.
