SKU CODE: ABACH/DUHR1

This automatic, self-winding military watch is a faithful reproduction of a classic World War II Aeschbach* design. It features a shatterproof and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, a small subsidiary second-hand dial, and retains the timeless style used by the German Luftwaffe during the war. Originally issued to Luftwaffe pilots by the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM/German Air Ministry) on a mission-by-mission basis, these watches were returned to the quartermaster after each mission.

This modern version closely replicates Aeschbach's original WWII models. While the authentic watches are rare and command high prices, this updated version remains almost indistinguishable in appearance, featuring enhancements for everyday practicality. The acrylic crystal from the original has been upgraded to sapphire for improved durability, and the 15-jewel hand-winding movement has been replaced with a 21-jewel self-winding automatic movement that also allows for manual winding if desired. The Watch also has a screw down locking crown to enhance water resistance and durability. These subtle updates ensure greater reliability while maintaining the historic design.

Key Features:

  • Case Material: Military-grade 316L stainless steel
  • Crystal: Shatter- and scratch-resistant box sapphire, styled to mimic the original plexiglass
  • Dial: Black with luminous markings
  • Movement: 21-jewel automatic, with hacking and manual winding capabilities
  • Water Resistance: 10ATM / 100M
  • Crown: Stainless Steel Screw Down Locking

Historical Context: Aeschbach Watches

Aeschbach, established in 1923, was one of many Swiss and German manufacturers producing military watches during WWII for the Wehrmacht, Kriegsmarine, and Luftwaffe. Collecting these historical timepieces can be challenging due to the sheer number of manufacturers involved, with over 100 suppliers identified to date. A group of military watch enthusiasts has compiled a nearly comprehensive list of these manufacturers, which can be accessed on their website under "WWII German Watches." Contributions to fill in any gaps in their research are welcome.

The Revival of Aeschbach

Aeschbach, based in Pforzheim, faced devastating losses during WWII. Pforzheim, a southwestern German town known for its watchmaking industry, was heavily bombed during an RAF raid on February 23, 1945. The attack destroyed 83% of the town's buildings, including the Aeschbach workshops, and caused significant loss of life. Production ceased, and the company was presumed defunct.

Decades later, a surviving family member discovered original technical drawings and a small collection of watches while sorting through a deceased relative's belongings. This remarkable find provided the foundation to revive the brand, ensuring Aeschbach’s legacy continues.

This model, with its timeless design and thoughtful updates, celebrates the rich history of Aeschbach while offering modern reliability and durability.

The perfect wrist rest. Stop looking, just buy this one!
Color: Onyx, Size: Tenkeyless/TKL Keyboard Wrist Rest, Color: Onyx, Size: Tenkeyless/TKL Keyboard Wrist Rest
The perfect wrist rest. I used those gel and silicone wrist rests thinking the softer they are the better. Not so. This is solid hardwood and my wrists no longer ache after a long day at the computer. The size I picked is perfect for a TKL keyboard. The angles, height, and design are optimal for a comfortable typing experience. Even 8-10 hours of typing! I love Glorious' products, they come so well packaged and attention to every detail is given. Gosh, its just a wrist rest! No, it is a tool that provides comfortable work experience.

The wood is great.
I used to use a typical padded wrist pad, but am a heavy sweater. Upon reading another review in regards to that matter I decided to take the plunge on this rest. I have been a user of the Model O mouse from Glorious for a while and liked it so I trusted the company's reputation for taking gamers' needs into consideration. After using it for about a week and playing different types of games/working from home on it, I can say that although your sweat might pool during sweaty moments, it's easy to wipe off and doesn't seem to easily absorb into the wood. The wood itself is of a nice quality, I like the oak over the onyx for a more "real wood" look. There was no difference in comfort for me, you'd think being used to a padded wrist this shift would be "hard" on me, but no, I haven't had any problems. It's ergonomics for typing are also good as I notice my WPM and consistency be higher on multiple tests. All-in-all quite satisfied with the purchase, fits the aesthetic, feel, and ergonomics I was looking for.

Very well made, matches width of Keychron Q6 perfectly, great for bigger hands!
This is a nicely finished slab of wood that is an EXACT match for my Keychron Q6 in both width and height. Depthwise, this is 4", so if you got larger hands (as I do), this is a bit better than the silicone Keychron version which I believe is 3.5" or so in depth. The non-stick feet are a nice feature, and the profile is wonderful to type on. Only issue with the item I received is a small nick right below the Glorious emblem on the lower right of the wrist rest - may have been an errant tool mark. However, this doesn't detract in my own opinion, from the well-designed profile and features of this wrist rest and was easily covered with a furniture marking pen. I'm still giving this item 5-stars and getting another one for the office!

Glorious Wooden Palm Rest Durability and Stability in an Elegant Design
Color: Onyx, Size: Mouse Wrist Rest, Color: Onyx, Size: Mouse Wrist Rest
After years of using foam palm rests, I always encountered the same problem: they deformed over time, losing height, ergonomics and, consequently, their usefulness. This is especially critical when you spend between 3 and 8 hours a day at the PC for work, study or gaming, since a bad posture can increase the risk of suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome. This is where Glorious' wooden palm rests come in, a solution that eliminates deformations and offers an ideal height for both the mouse version and the TKL (Tenkeyless) version. Positive points • Solid and durable construction: Unlike foam, wood maintains its shape and provides stable support over time. • Elegant and minimalist design: Its finish gives a premium touch to any setup. • Effective non-slip base: The bottom rubbers prevent unwanted movements, providing total stability. • Easy maintenance: Although wood is slightly porous and can retain natural oils or residue from creams and perfumes, cleaning it is easy. Areas for improvement • Less softness than foam: Although still comfortable, wood sacrifices some of the cushioned feel that some prefer. A redesign with a foam strip on top could improve this. • Inconsistent finish between versions: I bought the mouse rest and the TKL at the same time, but noticed that the color tones were different (one blacker than the other). It doesn't affect functionality, but it does affect aesthetics. If you're looking for durability, stability, and a sophisticated design, this is a highly recommended palm rest, especially if you find it on sale. Although it's not as soft as the foam ones, it does its job of providing ergonomic support exceptionally well. An excellent complement for those who spend long hours at the PC and are looking for a sturdier alternative to traditional palm rests.

great mouse rest
Color: Golden Oak, Size: Mouse Wrist Rest
This works really well for for elevating your wrist, I use an apple trackpad it puts my wrist a little too high so what I did was put some rubber pads on the back of my trackpad to raise it up. It now gives the perfect height and good support I can even lean on it. It works well to the fact that it gives you very good support it's not uncomfortable and it's very easy to clean and looks very nice on my desk, because it's made out of real wood.
