THE HISTORY OF UNION GLASHÜTTE. Businessman Johannes Dürrstein had a very simple aspiration when he founded the Glashütter Union watch manufacture in 1893: “Watches which have everything to make them accurate and beautiful, but nothing to make them more expensive.” This aspiration has lost none of its relevance, even after more than 120 years. It continues to be the basis for a new chapter of success in UNION GLASHÜTTE's history.

Johannes Dürrstein started his career in watchmaking after an apprenticeship in sales, working as a travelling salesman for a Swiss watchmaker. In 1874, he decided to go it alone, founding the watch wholesaler Dürrstein & Compagnie. With his experience as a watch wholesaler and his flair for sales, Dürrstein was in a perfect position to start producing his own watches. In 1893, he founded his own watch manufacture in the watchmaking town of Glashütte, steeped in tradition, where only the best, finest and most accurate watchmaking was practised. Dürrstein's maxim was this: the watches should offer Glashütte quality.
