In 2006, Glashütte Original, along with the town of Glashütte, established the “German Swiss Replica Watches Museum Glashütte – Nicolas G. Hayek“ foundation, which is responsible not only for the museum’s permanent exhibition, but also for regular special exhibitions focused on various topics related to time and history.

After World War II, from the years 1951 to 1990, all watchmaking companies in Glashütte were organized into the “VEB Glashütter Uhrenbetriebe” (People´s Company Glashütte Watch Companies, VEB GUB or GUB for short). As such, the company made a wide range of products, including wristwatches, marine chronometers, special machines, wall clocks and different types of timers. Until the unification of Germany in 1990, the GUB was the largest employer in the Glashütte region. Glashütte Original was founded when the GUB was privatized in 1994. In the year 2000, the brand became a part of the Swatch Group.

The exhibition is a wide-ranging one, focusing on the products, advertising materials (including original films), development, drawings, tools, special machines, teaching materials and a treasure trove of historic photographs.
To find out more about the exhibition, World Tempus talked to Mr. Reinhard Reichel, Museum Director, Deutsches Uhrenmuseum Glashütte.

WT: How did you choose the exhibits to include in the exhibition?
RR: For this exhibition, we had the chance to look for information in the large archive of Glashütte Original (the former GUB). The company saved significant exhibits and also reference samples of all departments (like the education department, special machines and tool construction, trade fairs, share replica watches and device production, social and cultural life in Glashütte).

What made the GUB so special?
The GUB helped preserve Glashütte’s long tradition in watchmaking and fine mechanics after the end of World War II and the division of Germany. After the German reunification in 1990, all the new founded companies came back to the former specialists of the GUB. Without the GUB, there wouldn´t be a watch fabrication in Glashütte today.

What distinguishes the timepieces made by the GUB during the GDR period?
The whole GDR industry, including GUB, was oriented by a basic philosophy: the goal is to create precise, long-living and robust products for the market. Between the 1950s and 1990s, wrist watches were artifacts of daily use; they belonged to the everyday life. Everybody had a watch. The GUB managed to produce large amounts of watches in demand. A lot of people still use their GUB watches today.

What should people take away from this special exhibition?
Many guests who visit the exhibit have lived and experienced the former GDR. They can identify with what they see. It can be very emotional and lots of memories are brought back. They can say “Yes, it was like this”.
But there are also many guests that come from former West German towns and also from foreign countries. Most of them don´t know anything about the GDR, how people lived, worked, consumed. The exhibition provides insights into what happened to Glashütte after 1945, how the GUB company operated and why there was a chance for further development of watch production in Glashütte after the reunification in 1990.

How has the exhibition been received so far?
After the end of their tour through the exhibition, guests are encouraged to write comments in our visitor’s book. The feedback had been always very positive. The interaction with the Museum staff and tour guides is a two way learning channel. Former employees of the GUB who have visited the Museum enjoy telling us their personal stories and memories. Because of these great reactions, we decided to extend the exhibition until January 10, 2016.

How important was the GUB to the region during the GDR years?
The GUB was definitely the biggest and most important employer in Glashütte and the area around it. The company employed more than 2.500 people in the watch production or device fabrication. The GUB was socially involved in the community and offered many benefits to its employees, including general education, child care, medical care, housing support, cultural and sports events.

What is the legacy of the GUB during those years and can we still see that manifested in today’s Glashütte Original?
Glashütte Original’s know-how and competence is certainly a direct legacy of the GUB. After 1945, with limited access to western technology, GUB watchmakers had to be very creative and find mechanical solutions with the resources available to them. This expertise has been perpetuated and can be seen today throughout all departments of the Glashütte Original manufactory.

The exhibition is currently available for viewing at the German Fake Rolex Watch Museum Glashütte until January 2016.

— Two exceptional antique cheap replica watches and some letters of great historical value join the Breguet Museum collections

The Breguet N°3104 pocket fake watches, bought from Antiquorum in November, recently resurfaced after over 140 years in the possession of an illustrious European family. Initially sold in 1818 to His Royal Highness the Infante Francisco de Paula of Spain, Count of Moratalla, this piece is one of the rare and highly prestigious minute repeaters made by A.-L. Breguet, whose chiming Swiss replica watches generally sounded the quarter or half-quarter hours.

Besides the minute repeater function, this 62.5 mm wide pocket Replica Watches in 18-carat gold features a jumping hours hand. Its case is adorned with ‘barley grain’ guillochage by Pierre-Benjamin Tavernier. The guilloché silver dial, also by Tavernier, has a distinctive two-part composition, with the small seconds ring at 8 o’clock integrated into the dial and fixed with two tiny blued-steel screws. The markers indicating the fractions of 10 minutes surrounding the hour circle are another unusual characteristic.

Adorned with the Breguet secret signature on both sides of the number 12, the dial is enhanced by ‘open-tipped’ hands in blued steel, commonly known as Breguet hands, invented by the watchmaker in the same year that he introduced the gong-spring. This exceptional piece houses a 22’’ calibre with visible inverted cylinder escapement. The repeater spring operates on two gongs struck by two hammers activated by a piston situated in the pendant of the watch.

The second piece acquired by Breguet is the N°4720, recently ceded to the House by the auctioneers Fraysse. It is a very fine tact watch with a regulating dial, sold to Casimir Périer in 1841. It is adorned with a yellow gold, hand-guilloché hunter case, along with a double chain and key. Its satin-brushed silver dial features two counters – for the hours and 30 seconds – as well as a central minute hand. The watch is adjusted around the edge of the 30-second counter. The external hand, characteristic of tact watches, here takes on a serpentine form.
First marketed in 1799, tact watches were invented by Breguet to enable the time to be read by touch. An arrow on the outside of the case reproduces the position of the hours hand, while twelve protruding studs around the case represent the hour markers.

The third Breguet acquisition is a collection of ten historic letters regarding the House’s business in Russia from 1808 to 1810. Beyond his gift for watchmaking, A.-L. Breguet was also an extraordinary entrepreneur, who very quickly developed a large-scale commercial network for his timepieces. From his very beginnings in business, he cultivated a long and fruitful relationship with the Russian Empire as part of his export policy. In the spring of 1808, Breguet decided to conduct an original experiment in Saint Petersburg – the opening of a branch managed by a man salaried by and working exclusively for the House. A.-L. Breguet found a fitting candidate in Lazare Moreau, nicknamed Zarenne, a bold young salesman.
The letters bought on 2nd December at the auctioneers Aguttes  were sent to Moreau by Breguet senior and junior. Brought to auction by Moreau’s descendants, they provide fascinating insights into the business activities of Breguet during its founder’s lifetime.
