Many people associate luxury watches with Switzerland, but German watchmakers are also steadily gaining strength through their robust and reliable craftsmanship.
Two places in southeastern Germany, in the state of Saxony, are closely linked to the history of the German watchmaking industry: Dresden, the capital of the Kingdom of Saxony, with its tradition of court clockmaking, and Glashütte, where court watchmakers were sent from Dresden and watchmaking flourished as an industry.


This issue features Lang & Heyne and Moritz Grossmann, two brands born in these two locations. While both are based in Germany and share some commonalities, the two brands have different backgrounds in their craftsmanship. We encourage you to compare their appeal while paying attention to the unique characteristics of each.
