An exhibition celebrating Ludwig Strasser, a watchmaker responsible for pioneering achievements in the watch industry, opens on October 18 at the German Watch Museum Glashütte.
Ludwig Strasser enjoys a worldwide reputation as a very creative micromechanical engineer noted for his exceptional imaginative capacity and above-average gift for higher mathematics.
He is well known for his precision pendulum clocks, which he produced in the firm he founded together with Gustav Rhode, Strasser & Rohde.
His ability to share his knowledge in an easily understandable manner made Ludwig Strasser an exceptional teacher at the German Watchmaking School. For 37 years, his in-depth expertise served the training institute. Under his leadership the school became an institution known and respected around the world.
