In July 2017, another generation of watchmakers graduated from the “AlHelwig” watchmaking school. They will contribute to the development of the Saxon watchmaking industry and inherit the spirit of the “Alfred Helwig” watchmaking school.
The school, which has trained countless talents for the German watchmaking industry, has endured many twists and turns in the country’s history.
To help Saxony’s original brand continue to write the legend of Germany’s top watchmaking, fearless and the baptism of time.
From a pure pedigree of watchmaking originating in the Kingdom of Saxony, Glashutti Originals has always represented the top level of German watchmaking.
The development of all this is inseparable from the original Glashutti’s strong support for watchmaking education.
Since 2001, Glashuti Originals has trained professional technicians at the “Alfred Helwig” watchmaking School, a modern watchmaking school with advanced technical equipment and top teachers.
Not only that, Glashuti Originals also has an international outlook, actively dedicates to the international standard of watchmaking education, and is the first to cooperate with WOSTEP (Swiss watchmaker Training and education Program) in Germany, in line with the international watchmaking industry.
It is unique in Germany that students can obtain a diploma from WOSTEP along with a German professional technician certificate.
Since its establishment in 1887 by Moritz Grossman, the watchmaking school has experienced a hundred years of wind and rain.
In honor of Alfred Helwig’s dedication to watchmaking, his passion for watchmaking and his relentless pursuit of precision, the school was renamed after him.
Alfred Helwig was an instructor at the watchmaking school for 41 years and was a favorite of his students.
In 1820, he led his students to develop the “flying Tourbillon” for the development of watchmaking industry brought decisive role.
Despite his fame, he remained modest throughout his life, contributing to the development of the German watchmaking industry, and Glashutti proudly named his watchmaking school after him, passing on this decade-old spirit of research and development and originality.
Every subject of the “Alfrede Helwig” school has been carefully studied, carrying the excellence of the original Glashuti heritage over the past hundred years.
The curriculum of the school is not uniform. The learning process covers both theoretical learning and practical exercise.
Every STUDENT MAKES SURE TO MAKE THE TINIEST MOVEMENT PARTS, UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEX MECHANICAL RELATIONSHIPS AND fully APPRECIATE THE “meticulous” effort, PRECISION concept and excellent values of THE GlasHUtti ORIGINAL WATCHMAKER.
In this cradle of German horology education, every student is carefully selected to show outstanding talent, exceptional hand skills, and an extraordinary sensitivity to tradition and innovation.
Every watchmaker has at least three years of professional study, more time to interact with sandpaper, microscopes, machine tools, and more than a decade to become familiar with a skill that brings watches to life with both hands.
It is this dedication that has made Glashutti’s original craftsmanship known around the world.
In the future, Glashuti Originals will continue to inherit German technology and develop its own classic works.
