Union Glashütte

Union Glashütte has stood for exceptional German watchmaking for more than 130 years.

In our ateliers in Glashütte, we create timeless mechanical timepieces that are crafted with the utmost care by our watchmakers through a series of intricate production stages. A significant part of our value creation takes place directly in Glashütte, reflecting our deep connection to the historic heart of German fine watchmaking. We therefore wear the “Made in Glashütte” seal with pride and a strong sense of responsibility – honoring a tradition that has shaped watchmaking history.

The foundation for this legacy was laid at the end of the 19th century by the renowned watch wholesaler Johannes Dürrstein. As a connoisseur of international horology and a successful entrepreneur, he recognized a gap in the market: a high-quality watch made to Glashütte standards that was accessible to more than just a privileged few – a piece of affordable luxury. Driven by this vision, he founded his own watch manufacturing company in 1893, the “Glashütter Uhrenfabrik Union.” Today, we continue to carry that vision forward.

Union Glashütte watches are as diverse as the people who wear them. Effortlessly combining apparent contrasts, they can be elegant yet sporty, distinctive yet understated, modern yet nostalgic. The collection offers a wide range of designs and includes a model for every style and occasion. For watch enthusiasts who know what truly matters: making time for the finer things in life.
