Glashutte Original replica watches have joined the rich and exciting history of a well-known and successful watch manufacturer, Glashutte Original watch-making company. The region between the towns of Glashutte and Pforzheim comprises a great number of prestigious German brands and top manufactures, as well as some smaller companies. However, among this variety there are two names that are enjoying the maximum popularity - A. Lange Sohne and Glashutte Original, which have belonged to the Richemont and Swatch Groups respectively. The history of Glashutte Original watch-making started in 1845, when Ferdinand Adolph Lange received a state loan and established the first Glashutte watch manufactory. After Lange's death in 1875, Moritz Grossman formed Deutsche Uhrmacherschule (the "German Watchmaking School".) As the result Glashutte gained notoriety for producing high-quality traditional yet innovative mechanical timepieces.
