History
During the financial crisis of 2007-08 Christine Hutter (who had previously held positions at Wempe, Maurice Lacroix, Glashütte Original, and A. Lange & Söhne) founded her own luxury watch brand, Moritz Grossmann, after acquiring the rights to use the name 19th century founder and director of the German School of Watchmaking, Karl Moritz Grossmann.[4] Initially the company operated from her personal residence in Dresden, but shortly afterwards moved into a former hardware store in Glashütte. In 2010, having grown to 16 employees, the company released its first production model and acquired land to build a new factory. By 2013 the construction was complete.[1][3][5]
