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.

CLAUDE GREISLER

Claude Greisler is “a watchmaker’s watchmaker.” His greatest passions are watches (past and present) and complicated watchmaking. In actual fact, watchmaking has been a Greisler family profession for generations. Claude’s training began in his grandfather’s workshop, which led to his formal training, beginning with his completion of a four year program at the “School for Watchmakers and Rhabilleurs” in Solothurn, Switzerland; followed by a two-year program in movement restoration at Centre Interrégionalde Formation des Montagnes [CIFOM] in Le Locle; and then a further two-year program at CIFOM focused on the development and construction of complicated timepieces. Upon the completion of his 8 years of watchmaking education, Claude honed his craft as a watchmaker at Christophe Claret (a brand known for its ultra-complicated timepieces) as the next step in his longstanding ambition: to dedicate himself to the design and production of horologically significant timepieces. Beyond his watchmaking obsession, Claude is also a passionate skier and outdoorsman. Together with his wife, Gaby, Claude explores the Swiss backcountry as often as his responsibilities at the manufacture will allow.
