Description
Traditional Glashütte Watchmaking Craftsmanship
With the 1893 Johannes Dürrstein Edition „Double moon phase“ UNION GLASHÜTTE expands the 1893 line with another timepiece. The collection combines the art of watchmaking, modern precision, and the visionary spirit of the company’s founder, Johannes Dürrstein. Since 1893, his philosophy has stood for the highest precision, masterful craftsmanship, and the courage to realize extraordinary horological ideas.
The timepiece, inspired by historic pocket watches, places a fascinating and sophisticated complication at its center: the „Double moon phase“ This feature allows the lunar cycles of both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres to be viewed simultaneously. It creates a universal perspective on time entirely in keeping with the watchmaking tradition that has always defined UNION GLASHÜTTE.
The double moon phase forms the visual centerpiece of the dial, which is stylistically inspired by traditional silver-plating techniques. Rendered in a warm champagne tone with a finely grained, velvety surface, it creates a vivid sense of depth that subtly changes depending on the light. Engraved Roman numerals enhance this effect with a delicate three-dimensional appearance. They emphasize the refined, classic character of the watch, which is harmoniously and elegantly completed by a brown leather strap.
Historically Inspired, Contemporary in Interpretation
At its heart beats the newly developed manual winding caliber UNG-58.S2, which brings traditional Glashütte watchmaking to life in an authentic way. The three quarter plate fully manufactured, finished, and assembled in Glashütte represents the manufacture’s high level of vertical integration and defines the movement’s distinctive appearance. The integrated full calendar, combined with the moon phase display, merges functional complexity with precise mechanics and highlights the model’s high horological standards. The „Double Moon Phase“ also forms a bridge between past and present, drawing inspiration from historical models while being reinterpreted in a contemporary context.
Classic Design with a Clear Aesthetic
The 1893 Johannes Dürrstein Edition „Double moon phase“ is designed for those, who appreciate a timepiece that combines classic styling with a clear, refined design. The model is a tribute to more than 130 years of Glashütte watchmaking craftsmanship and to the idea of not only measuring time, but making its full fascination visible.

STAINLESS STEEL
Union Glashütte uses only 316L stainless steel for its cases, bracelets, and clasps. This alloy is characterized by high corrosion resistance, skin compatibility, and durability, providing a reliable foundation for everyday use. At the same time, finely machined and polished surfaces contribute to the watch's distinctive appearance.
While stainless steel remains durable in use, it can—especially polished surfaces—acquire minor marks. To preserve the surface for as long as possible, it is recommended to avoid contact with hard or abrasive materials and to store the watch separately from other objects. After exposure to salt water or chlorine, it should be rinsed with clean water and dried with a soft cloth.
Regular cleaning with a microfiber cloth is sufficient for maintenance; a slightly damp cloth can be used if necessary. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents or abrasive materials. The finest signs of wear can be reduced through professional servicing, thus preserving the original finish for years to come.
Saphir
Leather straps
Union Glashütte primarily uses calfskin leather – smooth or crocodile-embossed – as well as cowhide, horsehide, and goatskin for its watch straps. As natural materials, they give each watch an individual character and develop a distinctive patina over time.
Slight variations in color and surface are typical of the material and emphasize its individual character. Depending on use, the material will change over time – therefore, replacing the strap is a natural part of long-term use.
