Located near Dresden, the town of Glashütte is a popular weekend attraction for those travelling to Sächsische Schweiz (Saxon
Switzerland). A relatively sleepy German town, Glashütte becomes a hive
of industry during the week as the home base for Germany’s watc-hmaking
industry (employing over 2,000 people), housing several luxury brands
such as Tourneau, Swatch, and Glashütte Original. If not for the retail
prospects, Glashütte is a worthwhile stopover for design aficionados as
the site of the German Watch Museum.
Here, visitors can learn about everything from watch-making
techniques to the personalities involved in bringing this intricate
craft to an otherwise quiet location.
We visited the museum when I was recently in Dresden for the Dresden Music Festival. Find out more in my article on TheCultureTrip.com
