>Glashütte horological history begins in 1843, when Ferdinand Adolph Lange wrote a letter to the Royal Saxon government detailing a plan to open a watch factory in Glashütte and begin educating apprentices. What was so different about this plan was the idea to have the apprentices work on one specialization, thereby enabling the foundation of an industry in Glashütte. Lange had recently returned from Switzerland, where he saw this practice work very well. It was different than traditional German watchmaking, but the Royal Saxon government liked what they read, and agreed to make a substantial loan to Lange to kick start his plan. Moritz Grossman, Julius Assmann, and Adolf Schneider (who, along with F. A. Lange, are considered the four fathers of Glashütte watchmaking) also started making watches in Glashütte, and the industry flourished.

>It flourished so much that Glashütte watches started to be copied. Unscrupulous watch companies from other countries were producing watches and adding the words "System Glashütte" to their watches to give them an extra sales boost (below is an example of one such movement – Swiss in origin). As a response to this we started seeing Glashütte watches using the word "Original" to indicate that they really were from Glashütte. This is where Glashütte Original gets its name from today.
