Three Generations. One Conviction.
In 1927, a 27-year-old lawyer built Germany’s largest watch company in Glashütte — a town so important to German watchmaking that its name carries legal protection. War destroyed everything. The Soviets took what the bombs left. Sixty-three years later, the man Kurtz had mentored drove back to Glashütte and rebuilt from nothing. His children run the company today. Independent. Family-owned. Still there.
What matters must be built to endure.
Glashütte, Germany — alongside A. Lange & Söhne and four other independent manufactures. Selected by the German military over quartz, 1984. Family-owned since 1927. Manufacture watches from €1,830.
