Even in the newly arisen corporate diversity of the Glashütte watch industry after 1990, the question of the "Glashütte" seal of quality was raised, taken to court, and finally answered by lawmakers in 2022. The Glashütte Regulation has made German watches from Glashütte a legally protected product since February 22, 2022. A watch protected under the Glashütte Regulation must have undergone at least 50 percent of its "essential manufacturing stages" in Glashütte. Only then may it carry the "Glashütte" designation of origin, for example, on the dial. What is meant by "essential manufacturing stages" is now clearly defined: the manufacture and casing of the movement and the final inspection of the watch. The following must take place entirely in the territory of town of Glashütte: the assembly and starting of the movement, the fine-tuning, the assembly of the dial, the installation of the hands and the encasement of the movement.
