Tutima Hommage Minute Repeater. A Tutima foi fundada em 1927, em Glashütte, na Saxónia, a zona da Alemanha com mais tradição em relojoaria. Em 1945, com a divisão do país, os donos mudaram-se para o Ocidente. Só em 2011, comemorando 125 anos, a Tutima regressou a Glashütte. Para comemorar o regresso às raízes, a Tutima realizou um feito inédito - produziu um Repetição Minutos de pulso, o primeiro inteiramente fabricado na Alemanha.

The Tutima watch brand was founded in Glashütte in 1927. As the market for expensive precision pocket watches had collapsed and the Saxons had neglected to move into the production of wristwatches, in December 1926, the lawyer Dr. Ernst Kurtz transformed an inflexible cooperative into the successful UROFA and UFAG companies. As Tutima’s founder, he laid the foundation for the industrial manufacture of (wrist-) watches in Glashütte, which even survived the era of Eastern Germany under communist rule.
In 1945, Dr. Kurtz moved to West Germany, where he continued to produce watches on the basis of modern Glashütte traditions. His colleague, Dieter Delecate, continued the Tutima success story, even in the difficult market of the 1970s, when the advent of quartz watches forced many watch factories in Europe to close down. Over the years, Dieter Delecate gradually expanded the business into a global group of companies. And now, after more than 65 years, Tutima has returned to Glashütte.
FINALLY BACK HOME
The new factory building is located just a stone’s throw from the site of the former UROFA. The conversion and expansion work took three years and now, Tutima celebrates the official resumption of its manufacturing activities in Glashütte. On this musical note, Tutima has again taken its rightful place within a grand watchmaking tradition that began in 1845.
