On 22 May, the 10th anniversary German Watch Museum was celebrated in the Glashütte Original Manufacture. As co-founder of the Foundation 'German Watch Museum - Nicolas G. Hayek', the manufactory was the appropriate location for the celebrations. Markus Dressler, board director of the foundation and mayor of Glashütte, Frank Kittel, board director of the foundation and managing director of Glashütte Original, and Reinhard Reichel, museum director, emphasised its importance for the town, the region and the German watch industry. More than 100 guests were invited to the evening, which ended with a fireworks display in front of the museum. Nick Hayek, CEO of the Swatch Group, to which Glashütte Original belongs, said: "Our most sincere congratulations go to the German watch museum in Glashütte on the occasion of its anniversary. Ten years - barely a blink of an eye in the centuries-long history of Glashütte, but a milestone for the foundation that proudly bears my father's name. The town continues to write history today and the German Watchmaking Museum in Glashütte will help to preserve the art of measuring time also in the future'.
