Glashütte Original

Ferdinand Adolph Lange opens his new watch-making workshop in the small mining town of Glashütte in 1845. The manufacturer from Saxony overcomes the vicissitudes of history, not least the East German communist regime.

Its limited editions - Julius Assmann, Alfred Hewig, Meissen - are sought after by collectors from all over the world.
