Glashütte Original Watches
Glashütte Original watches are admired by collectors the world over, since Glashütte is one of very few watchmakers to craft its movements exclusively in the factory. In fact, the company has 10 proprietary innovations in movement.
Originally founded as "Glashütte" in 1845, the brand has survived time and the decline due to quartz. Following the German reunification in 1990 Glashütte reestablished itself and in 1994 Glashütte Original was formed; two years later unveiling its first watches.
In the year 2000, The Swatch Group purchased Glashütte, vowing to maintain its name.
Warranty
Glashütte watches are warranted by Glashütte to the original purchaser to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use for two years from purchase date.
