Foundation on March 16, 2006

Foundations that wisely attend to the responsibility for public welfare are themselves expressions
of the social engagement of the individual citizens, enterprises, and collective institutions of that
community.
At times when the State is stretched to its financial limits, foundations are able to introduce new
incentives and offer fresh ideas and partnership models.

The Foundation “German Watch Museum Glashütte – Nicolas G. Hayek”, established
on March 16, 2006, describes the matters of art, culture, science, research and education in the field
of watchmaking in which the foundation is engaged.
The foundation’s mission extends beyond the service and maintenance of a museum in the classical
sense. By turning to you, the friends of the watchmaking art, we would like to invite you to get involved
and to bring your active support to our project.
