Inspired by the number of cylinders in the Devel Sixteen sports car, there is to be a limited edition of 16 watches. The DEVEL 16 dial is designed in polished stainless steel to match the rim of the Devel Sixteen sports car. The openings between the rim spokes allow a view of the calibre 100.1 in the High Artistic Finish. The surface of the spokes and the rim edge appears immaculate due to the mirror polishing. Depending on the viewing angle, it either shines black or reflects the light like as a mirror would.

Moritz Grossmann watches: Moritz Grossmann, born in Dresden in 1826, was deemed a visionary among Germany’s great horologists. In 1854, his friend Ferdinand Adolph Lange persuaded the young, highly talented watchmaker to establish his own mechanical workshop in Glashütte. In addition to establishing a prestigious watchmaking business, Grossmann became engaged both politically and socially, founding the German School of Watchmaking in 1878. Moritz Grossmann died unexpectedly in 1885 and his watch manufactory was closed. In 2008, the spirit of Moritz Grossmann’s traditional watchmaking was revived when trained watchmaker Christine Hutter discovered the old Glashütte watch brand ‘Moritz Grossmann’ and had it protected. She developed concepts and was inspired by the vision of reviving Grossmann’s legacy more than 120 years later with a particularly exquisite wristwatch. And she convinced private watch enthusiasts to support her in making this dream come true. On 11 November 2008 she founded Grossmann Uhren GmbH in Glashütte. Today, Grossmann’s watchmakers preserve traditions but without copying historical pieces. With innovation, superb craftsmanship, a combination of traditional and contemporary manufacturing methods as well as precious materials, they celebrate ‘Schönstes deutsches Handwerk’ with their watches.
