Glashütte Spezimatic

Här är lite mer information

Grattis till en fin klocka

Jag har själv ägt en Spezimatic men sålde den.
Jag har kvar en Original från 60-talet.
Bifogar lite text om den.


One more proof for the saying "You live and learn" ...

Hi Anders,
Thanks for your interesting post about the inscription "Glashütte Original" on vintage GUB watches!
Because that was news to us (our first impression was something like "dumb dial fake") , we tried to get a confirmation by an "official person".
Martina called Reinhard Reichel, director of the German Watch Museum Glashütte, who is a proven expert in the history of Glashütte watchmaking.
He confirmed exactly what you have heard by Jean Neef. The "Glashütte Original" watches were exported to the - so called at that time - "capitalist foreign countries". Most of them went to the Western part of Germany. The watches that were made for the home market of the German Democratic Republic did not wear the inscription "Original".
Mr. Reichel told us that there is at least one item exposed at the German Watch Museum.
Best regards,
Gerd & Martina
