    Forced labour during the wartime production period

    Historical accounts of the Glashütte watch industry record the use of forced labour, including foreign prisoners, in the production of military timepieces and related equipment during the Nazi period. This is a documented historical issue associated with the company’s wartime operations and should be distinguished from later commercial controversies.
