The year 2026 is a special one for the Moritz Grossmann manufactory in Glashütte, as its founder and namesake was born on 27 March 1826 – exactly 200 years ago.
The first special model being released for the 200th birthday of Moritz Grossmann is the limited edition HAMATIC Silver-Plated by Friction. The anniversary year is referenced with an ‘1826’ engraving on the balance cock. The vintage ‘M. GROSSMANN’ logo on the dial, appearing just as it did in 1875, is a further homage to history.
The model’s name also reflects the elaborate design of the dial, which is silver-plated by friction. This finish, which can also be thought of as silver-plating by grit, is a rare one. It uses a historical technique where the dial is given a fine-grained, velvet-like texture by hand-brushing it with various pastes and powders. The surface then softly reflects the incident light.
