Glashütte seen on a postcard from 1895. The watchmaking town has transformed: A watchmaker, dial manufacturer, or toolmaker is at work in virtually every building. In those days, a watchmaker would have their work desk right by the window—since natural light was the best lighting available.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.
