Glashütte Original was established in 1994 as the direct successor to the VEB Glashütter Uhrenbetriebe, the state-owned manufacture that had centralised watchmaking in Glashütte during the East German period. The brand's founding gave continuity to a production tradition stretching back to 1845, when Adolf Lange established precision watchmaking in the town and trained the craftsmen whose techniques became the foundation of what is now legally defined as Glashütte watchmaking: three-quarter plates, Glashütte ribbing, screw balance wheels and hand-bevelled edges applied to every visible component of the movement. Glashütte Original produces its movements entirely in-house across the Senator, PanoMatik and SeaQ collections, with finishing standards that place it directly alongside the most respected Swiss manufacture watches at comparable price points.
