Inside The Manufacture: Moritz Grossmann, A High-End Manufacture And Ambassador Of Glash��tte's Horological Talent
For Christine Hutter, founder and CEO of high-end independent watchmaker Moritz Grossmann, the desire to open a manufacture was innate, stemming from her personal and professional interests as a watchmaker. The fact that Hutter is possibly the only woman in history to create and lead an independent watchmaker is but just one factor of what makes this Glashütte-based brand one worth watching.

The Jaquet Droz Petite Heure Minute Paillonnee For The Only Watch Auction
Jaquet Droz has released their donation to the Only Watch auction coming up on November 7, 2015. The unique piece exemplifies what Jaquet Droz is best known for by using the historical technique of paillonné enameling. 1 OF 2 The 43 mm, 18k yellow gold case features a deep red pailloné enameled dial, a technique that was handed down from the goldsmiths of the Renaissance. The motif is created by carefully placing tiny pieces of gold leaf on the dial, followed by the red Grand Feu enamel, which creates the translucent sunburst pattern and intricate trellis-work. 2 OF 2 In addition to the unique dial, the movement features a new silicon spiral, a new material used in the movement of the Petite Heure Minute, and allows for better shock resistance and pressure variations. More information on Jaquet Droz can be found on their website. Additionally, for more information on the Only Watch auction, please click here.
