The sky above Glashütte: for 175 years, watches have been made in the renowned watchmaking town in the eastern Ore Mountains. Now, the “Glashütte” origin for watches is protected by law: The Glashütte Regulation (Lex Glashütte) is the most stringent statutory designation of origin for a technical product in Germany and on par with Swiss Made for watches.NOMOS Glashütte is one of the few owner-operated watch manufactories in the world, and creates its mechanical timepieces in Glashütte, Germany. Watch models such as the Tangente, Ludwig, Orion, Club or Metro are world-famous – just like the place where they are made. Glashütte is a legally protected designation of origin. Only manufacturers who work according to strict rules in the 175-year-old tradition of the watchmaking town are permitted to use this denomination for their wristwatches. NOMOS Glashütte is the manufacturer that produces the most mechanical watches in Glashütte.
