History of the watch manufacturer / watch wholesaler Dürrstein Glashütte (Source: Wikipedia):
Johannes DürrsteinJohannes Dürrstein (* 22 August 1845 in Niederrad ; † 7 May 1901 ) was a German entrepreneur and founder of the watch factory “Union” in Glashütte . Dürrstein grew up in a middle-class family and completed a commercial apprenticeship with the Frankfurt watch wholesaler Ludwig & Fries. He traveled to Switzerland repeatedly for business and became acquainted with the country's leading watch manufacturers. [1] Watch wholesaler Dürrstein & Co.On January 19, 1874, Dürrstein founded the watch wholesaler Dürrstein & Co. in Dresden and built a trading network in the German Empire , Austria-Hungary , Bohemia , and Switzerland . He recognized that there was a large market for an inexpensive, everyday watch for everyone. After some time, Dürrstein was selling up to 50,000 pocket watches annually, which he sourced from Swiss suppliers. As early as 1874, Dürrstein negotiated a contract with Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashütte for the exclusive distribution of Lange watches. However, the precision watches did not sell as well as expected, as the quality also led to high prices. Dürrstein persuaded A. Lange & Söhne to produce a simpler and cheaper version of the pocket watches, the so-called DUF quality [3] [4] , which subsequently sold well. [1] After 1880, Dürrstein introduced the Union brand, which he had produced in Switzerland. The trademark of these Union pocket watches was a bell with 5 stars on the case and movement; the dials were unsigned. [4] In 1885, his brother Friedrich Dürrstein became a partner in the company. [1] Pocket watch manufacturer Glashütte Watch Factory “Union”Dürrstein's desire for more and comparatively inexpensive Glashütte pocket watches led to the establishment of his own watch factory in Glashütte, the center of German precision watchmaking at the time. On January 1, 1893, he founded the Uhrenfabrik Union, Glashütte iS , relocated the majority of production from Switzerland to Glashütte, and began industrial and technologically more modern template watch production. The watches featured a Greek temple as the case mark, and the dial bore the inscription "Uhrenfabrik Union Glashütte." The technical director was the Glashütte watchmaker Julius Bergter (1856–1944). [4] In the first year, Dürrstein was able to announce the production of a Grande Complication . After six years, the new watch factory building was opened on May 1, 1899, where the production of pocket watches began with around 40 employees. Simple precision pocket watches and chronographs were produced, as were watches with complications , such as pocket chronometers and tourbillons . Later, observation and ship's clocks were added. [1] [5] [6] Dürrstein died on May 7, 1901 after a long illness. His brother Friedrich Dürrstein became the sole owner of both companies, but died in 1903. His widow, Lina Helene Dürrstein, continued the successful business. The observation watches and marine chronometers of the Glashütte watch factory "Union" received numerous awards from the German Maritime Observatory . Due to the First World War , the subsequent economically weak 1920s, and the advent of wristwatches , the companies found themselves in financial difficulties. With the onset of the Great Depression, the Glashütte watch factory "Union" disappeared in 1926 [4] , and some time later, the wholesale company Dürrstein & Co. |
