History

The brand traces its origins to 1845 when Ferdinand Adolph Lange established the watchmaking industry in Glashütte, Saxony. Following German reunification, the state-owned VEB Glashütter Uhrenbetriebe was privatized in 1994, becoming Glashütte Original. It holds historical significance for preserving traditional German watchmaking techniques through various political regimes. The company is recognized for its vertical integration, manufacturing most components in-house, which maintains the region's global reputation for precision engineering and horological innovation.
