Not only does he continue to shape  the  present-day watch brand, he also influenced the craft of watchmaking   and the fate of his hometown, Glashütte. This is because Moritz   Grossmann was a genius watchmaker and ambitious scientist, profound  author, initiator of the German Watchmaking School in Glashütte and  personality who set much in motion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the manufactory, Moritz Grossmann’s 200th  birthday is a  fitting occasion for a series of special models. These  anniversary  watches unite the founder’s cutting-edge ideas with the  modern  watchmaking craft. They reinterpret his legacy, and not by  imitating  historical concepts. Rather, they represent the creative,  ongoing  development of Moritz Grossmann’s innovations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn  keeping with his spirit, the watches feature modern  manufacturing  methods to achieve technological perfection and  exceptional aesthetics,  both of which were ambitions of the founder. The  manufactory today  realises his visions with soul and passion, making it  one of a small  number of watchmakers globally which master every detail  of the  time-honoured craft and breathe new life into it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTREMBLAGE Platinum: special anniversary edition\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs  the second special edition for Moritz Grossmann’s 200th  birthday, two  limited edition TREMBLAGE Gold models are being released:  one with a  rose gold case and the other with a platinum case. Both  models feature a  750\/000 rose gold dial made out of a solid gold disc,  which the  scales, numerals and typography are then cut from. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vintage  ‘M. GROSSMANN’ logo, appearing as it did in 1875, is  created the same  way as a reference to the anniversary. To create the  sculptural effect,  the dial’s background is hand-worked using an  engraving technique that  has been passed down over time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe movement offers another nod  to the special anniversary, with a  balance cock bearing the engraving  ‘1826’, the year of Moritz  Grossmann’s birth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtistry on the dial\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor  Moritz Grossmann’s 200th birthday, a historical engraving  technique is  returning to the spotlight. It sees the dials of the  TREMBLAGE Gold  anniversary models – for the first time crafted from  750\/000 solid rose  gold – being designed using the engraving technique  of the same name.  It is a technique that the Moritz Grossmann  manufactory has previously  applied for different models. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTremblage is a special form of  engraving done by guiding a cutter  by hand in tiny movements back and  forth. These movements are what gave  the technique its name as the  French word ‘tremblant’ simply means  ‘trembling’. However, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eexecuting  it successfully demands significant experience, as a  more than  100-year-old manual for the special engraving craft attests:  ‘A good  deal of practice is needed to be able to do it evenly,’ the book  says. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe  evenness is what creates the desired appearance – a vibrant,  textured  and matt surface just like the ones that can be admired on the  dials of  Moritz Grossmann’s anniversary watches. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs befits the occasion,  both are made of solid gold and  hand-worked using a variety of cutters.  It is work that takes many  hours, and an engraver will spend multiple  days on a single dial. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter receiving the tremblage engraving,  the dial on the model  with the rose gold case is given a black rhodium  plating. The logo,  numerals and second`s track are becoming more  visible after their  surface has been polished off. The dial on the  platinum model, by  contrast, is left in a more natural state, with a  rose gold shimmer  offering an appealing contrast to the white of the  case \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe finest mechanics the manufactory has to offer\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeneath  the dial lies an extraordinarily sophisticated mechanism.  If you turn  the TREMBLAGE Gold model over, your gaze will be guided  through the  crystal case back to the hand-wound calibre 100.1. It is  crafted in  keeping with the old master’s spirit while also embracing his   dedication to innovation and progress with newly developed details,   including for example a newly engineered oscillator. The clever design   of the Grossmann balance allows the moment of inertia to be optimally   adjusted during its handcrafted manufacture and achieves high kinetic   energy combined with minimised air resistance and the smallest possible   mass. In addition to the carefully considered construction of the  pillar  movement, the elaborate finishing by hand on all components is  simply  fascinating. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarrying on the founder’s tradition\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe  anniversary model is a direct reference to Moritz Grossmann’s   ingenuity, with a movement featuring numerous details attributable to   the manufactory’s founder. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis historical movements had  quintessential characteristics such  as a regulator index with a poising  screw, a large balance wheel,  applied screws and the straight cut of  the three-quarter plate. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther characteristic Grossmann features include the fine, handmade Benu hands made of solid rose gold or steel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moritz Grossmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47183408857259,"sku":"MG-004155","price":90000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/2783\/3515\/files\/5753611083.jpg?v=1780708278","url":"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/products\/moritz-grossmann-tremblage-platinum-mg-004155","provider":"Exquisite Timepieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
