IN THE NEWS News archive 2024 <<   News archive 2025   >> All news Senator Tourbillon – Edition Alfred Helwig Glashütte, December 2017 The Senator Tourbillon – Edition Alfred Helwig appears to contradict the law of gravity in two ways at once: The untiring rotation of its Flying Tourbillon resists the pull of gravity, and the filigreed mounting reinforces the impression of pure weightlessness. With its new, light dial and individual numbering, the edition, limited to 25 pieces, offers moving insights into the lightness of being. Timelessly beautiful: The new face of the Senator Tourbillon The new version of the Senator Tourbillon is presented in a 42 mm white gold case framing a light, silver-grained dial whose finely textured surface sets off the black laser-engraved indexes and ... >>> more >>> Excellent prospects for graduates of “Alfred Helwig” School of Watchmaking Glashütte Original congratulates 23 superbly educated watch experts Glashütte, 6 July 2017 Brilliant prospects for the future of Saxon watchmaking: Thursday 6 July 2017 saw a new generation of watch experts celebrate the conclusion of their training at the “Alfred Helwig” School of Watchmaking.

But there was no hesitation when, in 1990, Walter Lange had the opportunity to revitalise the factory of his forefathers, whose operations were interrupted by the Cold War and the division of Germany into East and West. He was 66 years old at the time. The reunification of Germany opened a historical window of opportunity for the great-grandson of Ferdinand Adolph Lange, founder of the Saxony-based maker of fine watches. After a 40-year-long involuntary hiatus, Walter Lange managed to breathe new life into the legend of the historical brand and to successfully take on the powerful competition from Swiss watchmakers. The clever idea of bringing Germany’s most famous watch brand back to life was so powerful that it made its way to reality. With a small, committed team of ingenious engineers and watchmakers, he and his partner Günter Blümlein were able to find ... >>> more >>> Robert Mühle Zeigerdatum Bring on the Complications: the New Robert Mühle Zeigerdatum Glashütte, September 2016 Mühle-Glashütte is now honouring the life and work of its founder with its new Robert Mühle special edition, which also breathes fresh life into a classic complication that is now a rare treasure: the date hand. As you would expect from a timepiece made in a genuine manufacturing workshop, the mechanism was personally designed by Mühle-Glashütte's expert watchmakers themselves. This exclusive characteristic is even more enhanced by the fact that this special edition watch is limited to a total of just 100 pieces. After founding his family company in 1869, Robert Mühle played a significant role in establishing the excellent reputation of the German town of Glashütte as a top watchmaking location thanks to his high-precision measuring instruments. This year, he would have celebrated his 175th birthday. This is reason enough for Mühle-Glashütte to celebrate its namesake by launching a traditionally manufactured classic timepiece that reflects the values practised by Robert Mühle in the most stunning way possible. The new Robert Mühle Zeigerdatum ... >>> more >>> Watch-Wiki Magazin In der Rubrik Watch-Wiki Magazin finden sich Lesetips und Hinweise zu ausführlichen und Hintergrund-Beiträgen im Watch-Wiki, geeignet vor allem für Leser, die sich eingehender und in der Breite mit der Welt der Uhren vertraut machen und mehr über Zusammenhänge und Querverbindungen erfahren möchten.
