We believe that the aviator's replica Chopard watches we have found for you today was made by the Eastern-German run Glashutte.In the 1990s, after the fall of the Berlin wall, Glashutte was converted from a state-run entity to the private enterprise we know today, and it was renamed Glashutte Original.The watch we have here is from the 50s and is all original. It is a Glashutte chronograph with a manual wind movement that is in good working condition. The replica Chopard watches is being sold for $2950, which is a reasonable price. Modern day Glashutte Originals are rather expensive when compared to those like what we have featured today because those made in the 50s were made by the state-run firm, which was a decidedly less refined company that what we know today.Click here for the details of this 1950s Glashutte Aviator's Chronograph.
We have featured about 260 rare and unique watches on Hodinkee since launching back in May. Approximately 255 of them have been Swiss made, 5 have been American. So what would happen if we came across a German made watch worthy of our attention? Well, we'd feature it just like any other watch, of course.Today we have found a great old aviator's chronograph, a Glashutte from the 1950s. Glashutte, now owned by Swatch, was originally founded in 1875 in the Glashutte region of Germany. By World War II, the Glashutte region's manufacturers were really only producing military pieces for the Navy and Air Force. In the last few days of the war, the watch-*** houses of Glashutte were badly bombed and the remaining resources were combined to form a state-run Glashutte replica Chopard watches company.
