Moritz Grossmann Tefnut Rose Gold
The story of Moritz Grossmann begins in 1854 when, after travelling around Europe, the watchmaker returned to Glashütte, Germany, to set up his atelier. Grossmann continued to produce timepieces and develop new watchmaking techniques until he passed away in 1885.
Over 100 years later, the brand was brought back to life by Christine Hutter, a keen German watchmaker. Today’s pieces give a modern take on that beautiful, historical craftsmanship.
In 2010, Hutter released her first watch under the new era of Moritz Grossmann – the Benu. This 2025 Tefnut is an evolution of that first watch, presented in an easy-to-wear 39mm rose gold case.
A subtly rounded bezel gives the watch a smoother look, which both compliments and contrasts the textured dial. As you might expect from Moritz Grossmann, the dial is made using a traditional finishing technique from the 19th century called silver-plating by friction. The craftsman applies a paste consisting of silver granules, salt and tartar to a brass dial plate, using a brush to create a fine grain. The dial is silver-plated and then fired in a kiln. Further details can be found here.
Moritz Grossmann’s signature slender lance hands not only allow for accurate reading of the time, but are heat-treated to a violet-brown colour. The process used to achieve this colour is very technical as the violet-brown comes between the original steel colour, and the more familiar blue colour.
In contrast to the simple dial, the movement has another level of intricate beauty. The in-house Calibre 102.1 features a German Silver 3/5 plate, decorated with Glashütte ribbing, a ratchet wheel with two bands of snailing, and hand-engraved text. The balance cock has also been hand-graved with an elaborate floral design.
There are many other details and technical features, too many to list here, but which can be found on the Moritz Grossmann website.
Back to the watch itself, the rose gold polished case is paired with a Moritz Grossmann blue leather strap. However, we can offer a number of alternative MG straps – please get in touch to find out more.
