With its new, exclusive customising concept, Glash\u00fctte Original gives customers the chance to personalise their watches by setting them with precious stones. #SoBARNES<\/a>\u00a0takes you to Saxony to prove that fine watchmaking isn\u2019t just the preserve of Swiss!<\/h4>\n

Glash\u00fctte Original already crafts its timepieces in the upper echelons of artisan watchmaking, but recently the German house has reached new heights: any model in today\u2019s collection with a precious-metal case can be customised according to a customer\u2019s taste by setting it with diamonds or other stones. The idea was first put into practice in China, but Glash\u00fctte Original has recently announced it will be introducing the concept worldwide. Beyond technical feasibility, the (lucky) customers can free their imagination to own a truly unique watch.<\/p>\n

Since 1845, Glash\u00fctte Original has been keeping alive an uninterrupted tradition, embodying the art of traditional watchmaking at the finest level. The manufactory is nestled at the heart of the little Saxon town of Glash\u00fctte, and combines artisan expertise with cutting-edge technology. Connoisseurs venerate this brand steeped in tradition, which belongs to the Swatch group. The house makes 95% of its movement components itself, as well as its filigree dials.<\/p>\n
