Moritz Grossmann, an independent German watchmaker known for its fine craftsmanship, has teamed up with Oliver Smith Jeweler to create an exclusive, limited-edition timepiece. This special collaboration highlights both brands’ commitment to quality, precision, and unique design, making it a highly coveted piece for collectors and horology enthusiasts alike.
Design and Craftsmanship
The Moritz Grossmann X003533 watch is meticulously handcrafted, reflecting the highest standards of watchmaking that both Moritz Grossmann and Oliver Smith Jeweler are renowned for. It features a stainless steel case paired with a German silver dial, offering a combination of durability and understated elegance. The use of German silver for the dial not only adds a historical touch but also enhances the dial’s sheen and texture, making it a distinctive element of the watch.
The watch showcases polished Roman numerals and brown-violet hued hands, adding a touch of refinement and contrast to the overall aesthetic. These carefully designed elements echo Moritz Grossmann’s tradition of fine craftsmanship, while also introducing a modern twist with a rich, sophisticated color palette.
Unique Features and Limited Production
One of the standout features of this timepiece is its exhibition caseback, which allows wearers to appreciate the intricate inner workings of the watch, a hallmark of Moritz Grossmann’s attention to mechanical precision. The watch also comes with a tang clasp strap, further enhancing its classic yet functional design.
In addition to its impeccable craftsmanship, this watch holds significant collector value due to its limited production—only five pieces have been produced. These watches commemorate the inaugural Watch Week Aspen, making them not only a tribute to horological artistry but also a rare opportunity for collectors.
A key design element is the presence of a double-signature dial. The dial prominently features the vintage Moritz Grossmann logo alongside the Oliver Smith Jeweler signature logo at the 6 o’clock position. This exclusive dual branding enhances the uniqueness of the timepiece, ensuring its place as a collector’s item.
Historical Inspiration Meets Contemporary Style
The collaboration draws inspiration from the Director of Fine Timepieces at Oliver Smith Jeweler, George Reid, who has a deep appreciation for Moritz Grossmann’s craftsmanship and distinctive German design. Reid aimed to create a watch that not only honors Moritz Grossmann’s historical artistry but also bridges it with contemporary style, resulting in a piece that appeals to both traditional watch collectors and modern horology enthusiasts.
Availability and Pricing
With only five pieces available, the Moritz Grossmann X003533 is priced at $29,500.00. This watch can be viewed in person at Oliver Smith Jeweler’s Scottsdale Gainey Flagship Store or purchased online through their website. For those interested in owning a unique piece of horological history, this timepiece presents a rare opportunity.
