In-Depth: The Story Behind The Name 'Glash¨¹tte Original'
The road to Glashütte is long, winding and beautiful – just like the eponymous brand, Glashütte Original. HODINKEE recently visited Germany to learn more about how Glashütte Original is so intrinsically linked to German horological history.

Here he is a little sad; and here is his Hublot Big Bang 'Euro 2008.' $15,000. He looks good in it.
