Among the many different Glashütte case forms, those by Professor Graff were the most elaborate and costly pieces.
Professor Carl Ludwig Theodor Graff (1844-1906), Privy Councilor, was in 1875 professor and managing director at the Royal School of Arts and Crafts of Dresden. His designs were inspired by renaissance-style architecture.
