For me it was a sad date...
even if I understood the logic behind for Swatch Group. But what a pity.

Ten years ago: the end of Union Glashütte as a true manufacture brand
Some community members might recall the days when the watches of GO's subsidiary brand, Union Glashütte were discussed here. These watches were distributed only in Germany and Austria, and were true manufacture watches, albeit not from the start. In 1995,...
Absolutely agree with every words, Marcus!
Union watches are the affordable Glashuette Originals, with the same base movements and super quality! Here is my legendary Union Berger Regulateur on my wrist: Classical and modern at the same time. I am very upset because of the modern Union collection:...
In fourteen years of studying and collecting Glashütte Original . . .
. . . I can't recall a single instance of viewing a Union in the metal, unless it was behind a glass case when I visited the Glashütte Museum in '08. There was never distribution Stateside, although there was an entry level G O line, the 'AutoDate', intro...
Thanks for shared memories.
What a beautiful and original watches! I remember they had beatiful Dürrstein Perpetual Calendar in a 18k cushion case. U nfortunately, in the past... Br., Ruben
Just saw one offered ...
... on a large German watch sales website. The price demanded is very high, but I have no idea of its original list price. Already in the 2001 price list, the Dürrstein 2 was marked "sold out"!! Marcus
Then the price demanded now is twice as much ...
... which is definitely very high. However, rarities like these do not have a mean market price. Whatever somebody is ready to pay for it, is its price ... Marcus
No, Rubar, the price of the J. Dürrstein flying tourbillon
was 45.000€ ( 88.012 DM ) in 2001 according to my Union Glashuette Catalouge ( Pricelist 2/2001 ). The other two J. Dürrstein models were significant cheaper, because of the lack of the tourbillon. Cheers, Adam
I pointed out the price for
Dürrstein Perpetual Calendar not for flying tourbillon (picture from net) BR., Ruben ...
I am curious whether you find a list price for that one ...
I have the 2001 Union catalogue here, together with its 3/2001 price list. There, both the Dürrstein 1 (small second) and 2 (perpetual) are marked as "sold out", without any price indicated. Marcus
11.504€
according to Armbanduhren. In the Union Catalouges : Artikel ist ausverkauft. Cheers, Adam
