Inside the new building of Glashütte Original

Inside the new building of Glashütte Original

Glashütte Original (GO) is one of the high-end watch brands of the Swatch Group. As the name indicates, the brand is located in the German town of Glashütte in Saxony, together with Union, another Swatch brand. GO knows continuous growth as is demonstrated by the number of employees, which grew from 321 at the end of 2010 to 440 last month and is expected to grow to 510 at the end of 2013.

To house the growing workforce a new building has been constructed in the Frühlingsweg, only a few minutes from the main building in the Altenberger Strasse. The new building was officially inaugurated on October 16 by Yann Gamard and Günter Wiegand, GO’s two managing directors, and Markus Dressler, Mayor of Glashütte. The first employees started working in the new building on August 15. At present, around 50 employees are working in the new building (the Customer Service Department has been relocated from the main building), but there is space for another 30. The new building will also host Union.
