About Glashütte Original

Glashütte Original continues the watchmaking tradition of the small Saxon town of Glashütte, which began in 1845 with the first watchmaking workshops there. After decades as a state-owned enterprise, the manufacture was privatised in 1994 and has been part of the Swatch Group since 2000. To this day, almost every component is made in-house – right down to the dials, which are produced in the brand's own dial manufacture in Pforzheim.

Its defining trait is the combination of Saxon watchmaking craftsmanship and distinctive design. Features such as the three-quarter plate, the swan-neck fine adjustment and Glashütte stripe finishing shape the movements. The Senator stands for classic elegance, the Pano line for off-centre displays, the SeaQ for sporty dive watches and the Sixties for the design of the 1960s. This makes Glashütte Original the brand for anyone looking for German fine watchmaking with character.

Glashütte Original since 1845

In 1845 Ferdinand Adolph Lange founded the first watch manufacture in Glashütte to bring new work to the region after the end of silver mining. Further workshops soon followed, and in 1878 the German School of Watchmaking Glashütte opened. After the Second World War the companies were merged in 1951 into VEB Glashütter Uhrenbetriebe. In 1994 the company was privatised and given the name Glashütte Original, and since 2000 it has belonged to the Swatch Group. Today the movements are made in Glashütte, while the dials come from the brand's own dial manufacture in Pforzheim.

Glashütte Original Senator

The Senator is the manufacture's classic line, with round cases, Roman numerals or baton indices and often with the Panorama Date. The family includes the Senator Excellence with Calibre 36 and 100 hours of power reserve, the Senator Chronometer with certificate and zero reset of the seconds, the Senator Chronograph Panorama Date and models with a perpetual calendar. The Senator Cosmopolite displays more than 30 time zones including daylight saving time. The Senator therefore ranges from the simple three-hand watch to the grand complication.

Glashütte Original Pano

You can recognise the models of the Pano line by their asymmetrical dial, on which the hours and minutes are moved to the left of centre. The PanoMatic models have an automatic movement, and the PanoMaticLunar combines the Panorama Date with a moon phase. In the PanoMaticInverse the movement is turned around so that the balance and swan-neck fine adjustment can be seen on the dial side. There are also the PanoReserve with power reserve indicator and the PanoMaticCalendar with annual calendar.

SeaQ, Sixties and Seventies

The SeaQ goes back to the Spezimatic Type RP TS 200 of 1969 and since 2019 has been the manufacture's diver's watch, with 200 or 300 metres of water resistance and a unidirectional rotating bezel. The SeaQ Chronograph comes with a flyback function and the Panorama Date. The Sixties takes up the design of the 1960s with a domed dial and slender hands. The Seventies has a cushion-shaped case in the style of the 1970s and is often fitted with the Panorama Date or a chronograph.

Serenade and Pavonina

For women, Glashütte Original offers the Serenade with round cases, automatic movement and dials in mother-of-pearl or with diamonds. The Pavonina has a cushion-shaped case and is often combined with a diamond bezel, and its name comes from the Italian word for peacock. Both lines are available with steel or leather straps and in many dial colours, so you can choose between a simple everyday watch and a piece of jewellery.

Movements from Glashütte

Glashütte Original makes almost all movement parts in-house, including plates, wheels and bridges. Typical of Glashütte are the three-quarter plate, Glashütte stripe finish, blued screws and swan-neck fine adjustment, and many automatic movements also have an oscillating weight in 21-carat gold. Another hallmark is the Panorama Date, in which two date discs lie on one level and appear side by side without a separating bar. You will find an overview of all watches from the town under Glashütte watches, where there are also models from NOMOS Glashütte and Mühle-Glashütte.
