As part of an exclusive collaboration with Düsseldorf painter Max Frintrop, the Glashütte watch manufactory Moritz Grossmann presents sixteen unique pieces in the ART EDITION Max Frintrop.
The Moritz Grossmann manufactory in Glashütte has been crafting the finest watches with intricate details and first-class quality since 2008. Together with German painter Max Frintrop, the company now unveils a spectacular special model in a strictly limited edition. Each of the sixteen one-of-a-kind pieces in the ART EDITION Max Frintrop collection features a dial created using fragments of the intriguing and breathtakingly beautiful top layer of Max Frintrop’s studio floor – here, years of artistic expression have resulted in a mille-feuille of superimposed paint glazes reminiscent of geological substrates.
