That is why it is particularly important to produce the dials in-house. Glashütte Original is one of the few watchmakers that produces its dials by hand. This year marks 180 years of watchmaking in Glashütte, and the company is reaching a major milestone with the opening of its new dial manufactory, which means that the most important skills and expertise in high-end watchmaking are concentrated in Glashütte.

The appliqués, such as the indexes and numerals, give the dial visual depth and three-dimensionality through their raised appearance. The dial’s character can also be seen in many details. The delicate sunburst finish, the traditional silver friction finish, the shimmering mother-of-pearl, the artistic moon phase display, etc., each element is the result of artistic creativity, true craftsmanship and years of experience. The combination of traditional techniques and carefully selected materials gives each dial its unique depth, structure and charisma. Designed and made in Glashütte, these little works of art subtly highlight the essence of a Glashütte Original watch and the individuality of its owner.
