Introducing Moritz Grossmann is celebrating its 15th Anniversary With Three New Watches

Glashütte, Germany,15 years ago, the legacy of one the greatest watchmakers was revived and brought into the modern era. The personality behind the revival of the manufactory is the trained watchmaker Christine Hutter, who gave the legacy of Moritz Grossmann renewed vigour after 130 years. Ever since, the focus has been on creating a unique collection of exceptional watches and impressive movements. To mark the manufactory’s birthday, this tradition continues with the release of the BACKPAGE Green in a limited edition of two designs as well as the unique piece TREMBLAGE XV Birthday Edition.

To mark the 15th anniversary of the manufactory, the BACKPAGE Green is released in two versions with either a case in rose gold or platinum versions, with a flat design, and slim lugs, making it more comfortable to wear and also ensuring an elegant appearance. Both timepieces share the 41 mm x 11.35 mm polished case, with a transverse grooves crown at 3 o clock and a pusher at 4 o'clock , the watch topped with a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on top and case back. 

The limited edition BACKPAGE can be identified by the green color on the dial, while the rest of it features an openwork design. The green creates an exciting contrast to the gold-plated gear wheels, gold chatons, and carefully beveled and polished screw heads. The sophisticated interplay of light and color serves to highlight the masterfully finished mechanism directly on the wrist. The handcrafted hands circle above it, annealed in a brown-violet hue, while the appliqués on the dial also match in either rose gold or white gold.

In this semi-open dial, the most beautiful details of the manufactory’s skill in watchmaking are rendered visible, such as the Grossmann balance, the balance bridge that has been hand-engraved with floral motifs, and the three-band snailing on the ratchet wheel. Normally, these components would be found on the back of a watch. However, the mirrored construction of the movement gives it a whole new look. Thanks to the extravagant mounting of the seconds hand shaft in a gold chaton, the small seconds display is also located in a prominent position

The manual winding In-house caliber 107.0 powers both watches, is designed with the aim of achieving the expressive look on the front of the dial , with shock-resistant grossmann balance with four inertia screws and two poising screws, operating at 18,000vph (2.5Hz) and offering 42 hours of power reserve when fully winded.  The winder with pusher and stop seconds, which was developed in-house, can be seen on the back of the watch. while The escapement and oscillator was mirrored The particularly high-quality High Artistic Finish of both components fascinates with the masterful hand engraving, chamfering and bevelling.

The rose gold model is worn on a brown alligator leather strap with a prong buckle in rose gold, while the platinum model is combined with a black alligator leather strap with a platinium prong buckle. 

BACKPAGE Green editions are limited to 25 pieces each. The rose gold version is priced at EUR 55,500, which is equivalent to AED 222,000, while the platinum version comes at a price of  EUR 61,900, which is equivalent to AED 247,000.

A UNIQUE PIECE FOR THE MANUFACTORY’S ANNIVERSARY:

THE TREMBLAGE XV BIRTHDAY EDITION

The anniversary watch, TREMBLAGE XV Birthday Edition, comes in a rose gold polished case, sharing the same design as the BACKPAGE Green editions and measuring 41 mm x 11.35 mm.

The dial of the unique TREMBLAGE XV Birthday Edition, made of German silver, has been finished using the tremblage engraving technique. The inscriptions '2008-2023' and the number '15' on the dial refer to the manufactory’s anniversary. They have been given a different surface structure by hand to make them sometimes more and sometimes less visible depending on the incident light, leading to fascinating effects. Hands annealed to a brown-violet hue circle above the dial, which is made by hand and is also evidence of all the skills the manufactory has acquired in the past 15 years.

The three-dimensionality of the dial provides additional effects: the hour numerals and the small seconds circle plus the historic logo 'M. Grossmann' hover above the surface. Surprisingly, these details are not applied, but rather the background of the dial was carefully removed by hand to make the markings and lettering stand out more. It requires a great deal of care and experience to create clean edges when doing so.

The hand-wound caliber 100.1 can be viewed through the glass case back on the TREMBLAGE XV Birthday Edition anniversary model, operating at 18,000vph (2.5Hz) and offering 42 hours of power reserve when fully wound. In addition to the carefully considered construction of the pillar movement, which was made from untreated German silver just like the dial, the elaborate finishing by hand on all components is simply fascinating.

The anniversary watch, TREMBLAGE XV Birthday Edition, will only be available as a one-off. This unique piece is worn on a brown alligator leather strap. price will be upon request.
