Apart from its trade-mark triangular bed, this later-model Glashütte Watchmaker's lathe was of a distinctly different design to earlier versions. Indeed, it was now(unsurprisingly) constructed on lines not dissimilar to competing machines from other German makers such as G, Boey, Lorch and Wolf Jahn.
Of ingenious design and beautiful execution in all its forms, the triangular-bed Glashütte was manufactured - as far as is known - from  the late 1800s into the early years of the 20th century by Ernst Kreißig (Kreissig), a maker of tools for the horological trade from the Glashütte area near Dresden. Glashütte was not only the German centre of high-class watchmaking (and a watch-makers' school) but also home to several machine-tool builders including Karl Renner.
