Moritz Grossmann

Moritz Grossmann, a renowned name in horology, was founded in 2008 by Christine Hutter. The brand, based in Glashütte, Saxony, revives the legacy of Carl Moritz Grossmann, an influential watchmaker of the 19th century. Carl Moritz Grossmann was born on March 27, 1826, in Dresden, Germany, and later moved to Glashütte, where he significantly contributed to the region's horological advancements.

In 1878, Carl Moritz Grossmann established a watchmaking school in Glashütte, aiming to elevate the standards of watchmaking and provide structured education for aspiring watchmakers. This institution was pivotal in transforming Glashütte into a notable center of expertise in the field of precision watchmaking.

The contemporary Moritz Grossmann brand prides itself on crafting timepieces that integrate traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Every watch is meticulously manufactured in-house, with attention to detail that showcases the brand's dedication to high-quality watchmaking. Moritz Grossmann is known for its sophisticated designs, drawing inspiration from Grossmann's original techniques and philosophies while incorporating modern innovations.

The brand regained prominence with landmark creations such as the BENU collection, featuring the first original caliber 100.0, showcasing German engineering prowess. The ATUM collection, another significant milestone, emphasizes streamlined aesthetics and mechanical precision, underlining the brand’s commitment to blending classic elegance with functional excellence.

Moritz Grossmann also gained recognition for the unique "Hamatic" model, a revival of the historic automatic hammer mechanism, a rare concept in modern watchmaking. This novel approach exemplifies the brand’s dedication to exploring horological heritage while implementing contemporary advancements.
