A special exhibition is currently on show at the German Watch Museum in Glashütte. Entitled “The time is female.”, this time the focus is on ladies’ watches and the role of women in connection with watches. Based on the German Watch Museum Glashütte’s own collection, the exhibition looks on the one hand at the question of what a ladies’ watch is and what makes a watch a ladies’ watch. On the other hand, it shows the role played by women in the watch industry and the influence they have had on the watch, on the handling of time and on the craft. At first glance, it is not easy to judge when a ladies’ watch is a ladies’ watch. Does the size alone make a watch a ladies’ watch? Or is it the visual appearance? The exhibition presents numerous pieces from Glashütte and international production and provides a surprisingly simple answer to this question.
Term until end of December 2024
