- GUB MARINE CHRONOMETER WITH POWER RESERVE
GUB MARINE CHRONOMETER WITH POWER RESERVE 9 ¼" x 11 ¾" x 9 ?" tall Glaschutte, a German city in the old state of Saxony, became the cradle of German watch making. WWII converted all effort to the manufacture of military time pieces. Post WWII, most original Glaschutte watch companies, had lost much of their talent, as well as suffering Soviet machinery confiscations. In 1951 an east German state owned conglomerate was formed, pulling together all the talent of the companies in Glaschutte, including today's recognizable A. Lange & Sohne, and formed VEB Glashutter Uhrenbetriebe (GUB); to manufacture primarily marine chronometers. A. Lange & Sohne was gone in 1948 as a private company, and would have to wait until reunification to reappear as a new entity. GUB would develop mechanical wristwatch movements, even through the quartz crisis era, which would become the foundation of today's proprietary premium watch movements of Glashutte original. GUB became Glashutte original in 1994, after privatization of the state owned company. GUB made very good quality timepieces, far superior to many contemporaries of the time; but should not be confused with the haute horology, 1990 relaunch of the defunct A. Lange & Shone brand. VEB-GUB, loosely translates to publicly owned Glaschutte clock (timepiece)
