About Tutima

On the outbreak of World War I, the market for expensive precision watches collapsed virtually overnight. A decade of turbulence and upheaval was to follow. In 1926, the situation in Glashütte was desolate. December 1926 saw the foundation of a group of companies which, it was hoped, would put an end to the structural crisis. Uhren-Rohwerke-Fabrik Glashütte AG - UROFA - and Uhrenfabrik Glashütte AG - UFAG were set up, headed by jurist Dr. Ernst Kurtz. Apart from the initial production of superior quality pocket-watches, under the management of Dr. Ernst Kurtz and a few competent associates, the companies developed and produced their own ebauches for wristwatches. This led to a series of movements that could easily stand comparison with the competition from Switzerland. The top quality models were entitled "Tutima", a brand name chosen not without good reason. The founders had derived the name from the Latin adjective "tutus", which translates as "safe" or "protected". The product quality and the distribution exclusively through selected stockists soon earned Tutima an excellent reputation. Some 1000 employees enjoyed a secure livelihood.

It was not long until the complex mechanical watch enjoyed a revival at Tutima. The year 1985 saw the launch of the mechanical Military Chronograph 798-, specially developed by Tutima on behalf of the Germany Army and standard equipment for the German Air Force pilots ever since. This chronograph has meanwhile proved its value a thousand times over in many countries under the toughest conditions.

And with this development, the history of the Tutima Air Force Chronograph came full circle. The appearance of the modern Tutima Air Force Chronograph aroused avid interest in its predecessor. A great number of inquiries from watch enthusiasts supported Tutima's decision to produce the authentic replica of its famous classic.
