Once finished, he went as a watchmaker assistant to Berlin, where he appropriated further knowledge. Soon he devoted himself exclusively to the production of new watches. With the existing contacts Berlin watchmakers (presumably the Berlin chronometer maker Christian Friedrich Tiede) [3] Julius Assmann competed at the company A. Lange & Cie.In 1852 he founded the J. Assmann German anchor watch factory in Glashütte. The spelling of the name Aßmann with "ss" in the company name should export orientation be due to the overseas market on the advice and with the support of Ferdinand Adolph Lange , Julius Assmann was instrumental in co-operation with the protagonists of the Glashütte watch industry, Ferdinand Adolph Lange, Adolf Schneider and Moritz Grossmann in the development of Glashütte precision pocket watch that was only in 1865 finally mature.Julius Assmann made watches in quality to those of the company A. Lange & Cie., Which operated from 1867 A. Lange and Sohne, inferior in nothing, as those acquired at national and international exhibitions awards document.
    On July 31, 1853 Julius Assmann married in Glashütte Emilie Auguste Schneider, the daughter of an officer in the Royal Saxon Ministry of War to Dresden. From this marriage was born on August 28, 1854 son Paul Friedrich Adolph Assmann.  comes after his first wife had died at the age of 35 years beginning in 1864, he married on December 2, 1865 Marie Antonie Lange, the eldest daughter of Ferdinand Adolph Lange, the founder of the Glashütte watch industry.Julius Assmann made his son Paul as a watchmaker and let him perfect his skills in the watchmaking school in Le Locle in Switzerland. Two years experience abroad enabled Paul Assmann 1877, enter on his return to his father's company in an executive capacity as their partners.After the death of Julius Assmann led son Paul Aßmann the company initially as a sole proprietor successfully.                Recommendations for the owner of vintage watches:
    - All Antique watches are mechanical. Many repairs will not be cheap, as most likely they will require replacement of non-standard parts (unlike most late model watches).
    - Antique watches should not be beaten or dropped - because repairs may be expensive.
    - Antique watches are generally NOT waterproof. This is because waterproofing was not in general production until the middle of the 20th century for most watches. Therefore you should protect your antique watch from exposure to moisture.
    - If your watch becomes wet it should be dried off quickly. Carefully open all covers and use a hair drier to blow dry the movement, dial, covers, crown. This will reduce the amount of rust.
    - If your watch becomes wet with any kind of salt water you should immediately immerse or spray your watch with fresh (no-salt) water to remove all the salt from the works before drying the watch completely. Any salt left in the watch will combine with moisture in the air to rust metal components of the movement, case etc.
    - Winding any mechanical watch tight may break the mainspring. If you can avoid it do not wind the watch hard.
    - When adjusting the hands of your watch, move them in a clockwise direction only. Counter-clockwise adjustments may damage the movement.
    - If you must adjust counter-clockwise make it for small adjustments only (i.e. for minutes, NOT hours).
    - Be careful and gentle when adjusting the movement speed (faster or slower). Don't make sharp movements, and don't touch other components in the movement especially the pendulum mechanism.
    - Every 2-3 years it is necessary to service and oil vintage watches.
    - If the watch is dirty - allow the watch to run down, don't wind it again until you have it serviced by a qualified watch repair expert. Dust will absorb and remove important lubricants and cause the movement pieces to wear down.
    - To clean the case, dial and crystal you should use a cloth that does NOT leave fibers as these may get caught up in the movement. Check with your Watch repair expert to get an appropriate cloth.
    - Keep your antiques watch away from magnets. Strong magnetic fields may affect the accuracy of your watch since some vintage watches were made with iron based components in the movement.
    - Most Cases and Covers are fine components and will not handle abuse well. The watch should not be shaken, beaten, or stressed.
    - Antique watches generally experience an error of up to 5-7 minutes a day. Any accuracy of +- 5 minutes is very good. California State residents   (and those with shipping addresses in California State) add 8,75% sales   tax.       Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price   or shipping charges.
