Birthday of a Watch Making Pioneer - visionary until today
June 8, 2026 09:43
The year 2026 is a special one for the Moritz Grossmann manufactory: our namesake, the visionary watchmaker Carl Moritz Grossmann, was born 200 years ago on 27 March 1826.
Moritz Grossmann was an exceptionally gifted watchmaker, a successful industrialist, an experienced engineer and a great inventor, teacher and author. His works and legacy remain highly regarded to this day. His development and construction of novel tools and measuring instruments, including ones with metric displays, had a lasting impact on the watchmaking trade.
To mark the anniversary this year, we are dedicating a series of limited editions to this great individual, whose pioneering spirit shaped many parts of the watchmaking trade, and focusing on additional aspects of our history.
