Factory visit

I am German, so for me Moritz Grossmann is a 6 hour drive. I spent about 5 hours there. I will post something in my own watchblog in the coming days and link my visit here.
I was surprised to see how modern the machines were, yet there are quite a few people spending a lot of time handfinishing watchparts. Alone the handset takes about 6 hours to polish and color over a heating device the old fashioned way.
Some wheels they showed me that take 3 hours each to polish and finish.
While I have visited Lange & Söhne 2 years ago, I must say that I was striken how much handfinishing Grossmann does. The anglage at Lange is impressive. I think that Grossmann is working on the same level as Lange though.
I am organizing a group of watchcollectors to visit Grossmann in April. I will report afterwards.

Mine is a 36mm Tefnut, picture below. I love the 39mm design with the indices as well. In my opinion, they make some of the most attractive dress watches out there. The Tefnut leaf hands are just gorgeous... I'd be curious to hear more about your factory ...

I recently saw some M.G watches, and fell under the charm of some of them...The Atum Enamel, the Benu, and this Tefnut.

Rosegold versus Steel

Dear Nicolas, the rosegold Tefnut is very beautiful. Privately I collect vintage gold Chronographs. Love them. The steel Tefnut was a decision born from reason combined with the beauty of the classy and elegant watch it is. If I could have it all my way, ...
