Glashütte Original

you can look...

 

...at two particular German reference sites (noncommercial) for Glashütte movements; I'll send by PM as I'm not sure about posting them here.
You can run them through babelfish or break out your German dictionary!

I got interested in the vintage Glashütte movements by way of my fascination with Dornblüth watches.  I have an 04.0 Midi model, whose movement Dirk Dornblüth created from a GUB 60.2 1Q ebauche.  (He somehow acquired 100 or so NOS movements).  I am in awe of how he took this:

....and created this:

The post WWII Glasshütte movements are in some ways remarkable and appealing.  Left without quality tooling and machinery (destroyed or carted off after the war) the Saxon watchmakers designed and built several generations of workable, robust movements.  They aren't too pretty to look at, for the most part, but they work well due to their straightforward layout, large and thick construction, and relatively easy serviceability.  They are the epitome of practicality born from restrictions and as such are a great match for a watchmaker like Dornblüth, who rebuilt their sturdy simplicity into an interpretation of Glasshütte's traditional watchmaking past, one that went dormant in the 1945-1990 period.  The 04.0 Midi thus encompasses both aspects of the Saxon heritage: the 19th century pocketwatch 3/4 plate beauty and the simple and robust practicality of GUB, forged together into a modern piece.  Truly "Made in Germany".
