The Swiss watch industry is currently facing a real threat to their position as being the sole hallmark and domain of high horology. The Germans at the town of Glashutte close to the Swiss border has been making in roads on the high end watches from Switzerland. In the early days many thought them to be pretenders but with Lange & Sohne and Glashutte many collectors now see them as real challengers. This report on Yahoo gives a very concise history of the German town and its design to be amongst the best watch manufacturers in the world. Makes for interesting reading.
