Lange and Sohne
Glashutte Original
Glashutte Muhle

All of them are in the same town of Glashutte!! Visit them if you go to Dresden, as they offer a guided tour. I think someone on the web have a write up on his tour in the factories.

Fanstastic timepieces they produce, very fine craftmanship!!

Add Limes and Sinn to the names above, they are also good watches in a lower price range.

The L&S Datograph is right up there in my top three "grail" watches.



Here's a nice video of the manufacturing process.

Its not top of the line but, Skagen makes very good watches in germany i believe. They are known for being the thinnest watches out on the market, heres the pics to prove that :)





Its a very comfortable watch to wear, and I highly reccomend it because its a quality watch for an affordable price!
