A Legacy of German Watchmaking Excellence

Moritz Grossmann is a revered name in fine watchmaking, representing the pinnacle of Glashütte craftsmanship and independent horological innovation. Founded in 2008 by Christine Hutter, the modern iteration of the brand pays homage to the 19th-century German watchmaker Moritz Grossmann, who established a watchmaking school in Glashütte and left a lasting mark on the Saxon tradition of precision engineering.

Each pre-owned Moritz Grossmann watch offered by The 1916 Company is a testament to hand-finishing and classical aesthetics, designed and produced entirely in-house in Glashütte. These limited-production pieces appeal to connoisseurs of independent watchmaking, blending understated elegance with mechanical innovation. Their distinctive features include hand-engraved balance cocks, pillar-style movements, and signature brown-violet screws, hallmarks of the atelier's obsessive attention to detail.
