The aim of this Foundation is to set up and run an attractive watchmaking museum equipped with several libraries and demonstration workshops.
Sited in the historic building of the former German watchmaking school, the museum is intended for visitors from all over the world who want to learn about Glashütte’s fascinating watchmaking history from 1845 onwards. Renovation of the buildings was undertaken by Glashütte Original and the Swatch Group.
