Glashutte: "Watch of the Year 2010".

Glashutte Original simultaneously successful in two watch competitions

For 165 years, the name Glashutte has been a synonym for high-quality watchmaking, German accuracy, and superb design as, from the smallest screw to the most complicated watch movement, timepieces by Glashutte Original are manufactured in the highest degree of production depth, with a great deal of the work done by hand.




On March 2010, several representatives from the watchmaking industry gathered in the Hotel Plaza in Basle to participate in the announcement of the winners of the “Watch of the Year 2010”.




A total of 159 timepieces were nominated in the category of men’s watches. The votes could be submitted either by postcard or online. Peter Braun, chief editor of Armbanduhren, was the one to declare that the Glashutte Senator Chronometer had been chosen as the “Watch of the Year 2010”. With great pride, Günter Wiegand, Managing Director of Glashutte Original, accepted the coveted award on behalf of all the employees of the Saxon watch manufacturer.




A total of 11,147 readers took part in the vote. Of these, 637 voted for the Senator Chronometer as winner.



“Watch of the Year 2010”  The Senator Chronometer is the first officially certified chronometer from Glashutte Original.
