I’m considering buying a chronograph and this Union Glashutte piqued my interest, it’s at a decent price point and I’m a fan of german watches.I love the dial, the combination of vintage and modern really appeals to me. I owned a Sinn once and was very impressed with the German quality. I’d be very interested in hearing pro’s & con’s on this particular watch and brand. If you love it, why and if you hate it, why.

UG makes top quality watches!

Besides for the (very good) ETA movements the overall quality is in many ways comparable to sister company GO. As for the specific watch that you show, I personally do not like the date implementation/location : but that is of course very subjective.

Great feedback

I completely understand how the date display on the left side Or how the band ( I don’t have the correct description) goes across the center of the dial might be polarizing. Thanks for chiming in and different strokes for different folks.

A special kind

Larry, you are honest. You like German watches, it comes right out of your heart. I do not want ruin your special band to German watches. That is because i am over the moon of Swiss watches. Maybe i must try a German watch?

No question Swiss watches rock! I think there are outstanding German watch brands in the market, it’s worth a look.

I looked if Lange and Sohne is something for me.

I tried, but i need more time for it i think. I am trying to buy a Junghans for 41 years, still a Max Bill. But if i look at my watches, i think a watch must be more than let’s say a Omega, and that is Lange and Sohne, Patek Philippe, AP level.

100% agree, ALS sets the standard for all German brands IMO
