CHRISTINE HUTTER
Christine Hutter was born in 1964 in Eichstätt, Bavaria. In 1986, she began her apprenticeship in watchmaking under master watchmaker Wilhelm Glöggler in Munich. There she discovered classic pocket watches and clocks from the 19th-20th centuries and learned restoration techniques, crafting parts by hand.
In 1989, she completed her apprenticeship with highest honors in Bavaria. She was then recruited by Wempe, Germany's largest luxury watch retailer, where she gained experience in watch marketing.
She later worked for Swiss brand Maurice Lacroix and German brand A. Lange & Söhne, acquiring expertise in marketing, communications and distribution channel development. Over time, she nurtured a desire to establish her own watch manufacture.
She discovered the historic Moritz Grossmann brand and acquired the rights. As Managing Director of a Swiss watch company, she networked with fellow watch enthusiasts. On November 11, 2008, she founded Grossmann Uhren GmbH in Glashütte to revive the heritage and vision of Moritz Grossmann.
