In 1845, Ferdinand Lange founded his first watch manufactory in Glashutte, but the name Glashutte Original only appeared in 1921. Following the Second World War, Glashutte's region of Erzgebirge became part of East Germany and together with other watch manufactures was united into Glashutter Uhrenbetrieb Gub. But in 1990, the fall of the Berlin Wall saw a reunified Germany and Glashutte took over its old facilities. The Karree, Glashutte's austere rectangular wristwatch, helped re-launch the manufacture. Glashutte is regarded as one of the finest complication manufacturers and since its re-ascension has assumed the higest tier of watchmaking excellence.
