How to identify genuine and counterfeit Glashütte Original watches?

　　Glashütte Original is a German watch brand that pursues perfect watchmaking craftsmanship with a meticulous spirit. However, counterfeit Glashütte Original watches have become increasingly common recently. So, how can we identify the authenticity of Glashütte Original watches? Below, Xiaoya will teach you a few methods to distinguish genuine Glashütte Original watches from counterfeits.

　　Methods for identifying genuine and counterfeit Glashütte Original watches

　　1, Observe the Glashütte watch movement

　　Timepieces manufactured by Glashütte feature key signatures: the distinctive 3/4 plate with Glashütte ribbing, electroplated surfaces, polished steel parts, gold chatons held by screws, blued steel screws, bevelled edges, hand-engraved decorations, and a single or swan-neck fine adjustment. Never forget that the movement is the most charming and intricate part of a high-end watch.

　　2. Observe the subtle exterior details of the Glashütte watch

　　Observe the dial of the Glashütte watch. Some replica watches with day and date displays exhibit these characteristics: the outer edge of the calendar disc appears tilted backwards when viewed through the date window, or the calendar disc is made of plastic; the day disc may display the day in Chinese, or use English on the right and numbers on the left.

　　Some replica Glashütte watches may have 'SWISS MOVT' printed on the dial to indicate a Swiss movement, or 'SHOCKPROOF' to denote shock resistance. However, these watches typically feature numerous defects and flaws on the dial, such as misaligned indices, blurred minute markers, poorly fitted logos or lettering, as well as scratches, discolouration, or missing luminescence. Furthermore, the luminous dots are often applied to the inside of the indices, appearing large and uneven, or the colour of the luminescence on the dial may not match that on the hands.

　　3. Observe the Glashütte watch case back

　　Observe the case back of the Glashütte watch. All original Glashütte watches, especially men's models, feature various inscriptions on the case back, including the brand name, country of origin (SWISS MADE), water resistance (WATER RESISTANT), anti-magnetic properties (ANTIMAGNETIC), and details regarding shock resistance.

　　If you wish to avoid low-quality replica Glashütte watches, Xiaoya recommends a top-tier replica Glashütte watch with exceptional accuracy, 1:1 craftmanship, and quality rivaling genuine models—a great cost-effective choice.
