格拉苏蒂早在1845年，著名表匠ALange受德国政府资助，在德国东部的格拉苏蒂（Glashutte）建立了钟表生产基地。但是经过两次世界大战，格拉苏蒂的钟表制造业一下子与世隔绝，直至近年格拉苏蒂公司经过重整后再战江湖。99年推出的Senator双窗大日历万年历表更加获得维也纳全年最佳手表殊荣。他们的造表技术绝对超越很多瑞士牌子。1930年已经发明了飞行式陀飞轮（总之是极其复杂的微细装置，用来抵销地球引力对机械表运行时引致的误差），西方世界要到90年才在巴塞尔展出“世界上第一只飞行式陀飞轮”。
Until late in the 20th century, observation watches were decisive instruments for navigation on the high seas. With the new version of our Senator Observer, we have taken up once again the grand tradition of observation watches. Here, as was the case with its historic predecessors, particular attention was paid to the legibility of the time indicators: our dial manufactory in Pforzheim took great care to use Super-LumiNova to highlight individual elements such as the white gold hour and minute hands, the Arabic numerals and the chapter ring hour indexes.
