If you ever get a chance to visit the town (and it ought to be on any serious watch enthusiast's travel calendar) and see the German Watch Museum, which we visited in 2013, you can among other things see a display of pretty wild watchmaking from the GUB era. The Sixties collection takes as its starting point some of the more colorful and stylish watches produced in Glashütte in the 1960s. However, making delightfully colorful watches in an almost Pop-era idiom is exactly what Glashütte Original has been doing for several years in, not coincidentally, the company's Sixties collection. You think (I do anyway) of a staid, grey landscape in which restrained watchmaking is carried on with an eye to precision born of centuries of practice. One doesn't generally associate the town of Glashütte in particular, and German watchmaking in general, with bright bursts of almost tropical-bird eye-catching color.
