    End 2019 Photo SOTC

    I don't do this very often here as my tastes do not conform very well with the group wisdom -- but, for better or worse, here goes . . . . . .

    From oldest to youngest:





















































    Thanks for looking this far -- and Happy New Year 2020

    I had the chance of handling Moritz Grossman 2 months ago (well not Moritz himself but his watches). Superb watches with a lot of artisan skill behind the construction

    A very nice collection indeed! The MG Heritage is the standout piece for me.

    Who cares about the ‘group wisdom’?

    Love this collection, the Moser is fantastic and I have an itch needing scratched on the Nomos!

    I guess you’re a big fan of German watchmaking?!

    An amazing and very German focused collection. I’ve always loved the blue dialled GO PanoReserve. Horologically impressive, and a refreshing antidote to current obsessions.

    Thanks for sharing

    It’s nice to see something different for a change.

    Very nice collection. I like the Dornbluth (I would, I have one) The Glashutte and the MG collection. Something about MG watches, very simple design but its the workmanship that is put into it that stands out.

    What a stunning collection.
    A Dornbluth is very much on my radar and the latest catalogue has recently arrived.

    Thanks.

    I am a fan of smaller companies producing high quality wares. And, I'm a fan of clean and crisp design. GO (ca. 10k watches per annum), Moser (1,500), MG (500) and Dornblüth (200) tick those boxes -- so, yes, I'm a fan of German watchmaking.

    Elegant!

    We share taste on many of the pieces. Very few in that collection that I would turn my nose up at.

    Great collection! Not one there I wouldn't be proud to own.

    Cheers,

    I think they are at least as well made as the best of Glashütte -- and prefer them because I don't rate complications (except date and moon) as a "must have" in my little collection. The "pocket watch shrunk to wrist size" principle pleases me greatly.

    AFAIK the only places to actually handle MGs in this country are at William and Son, and courtesy of the ever-enthusiastic Robin at Watchmakers' Club. Do you know of another possibility?

    I doubt you'll regret it. One of my most worn watches.

    Thanks to you, and to the several others who have been complimentary. HNY

    Fantastic, liking the display back theme and all the different finishes / styles.

    Moritz died 1885, so probably not much pleasure to handle him these days (if it ever was).

    They have an interesting range of watches, some of them a bit marmite. Some serious money being spend to build a brand, not sure this is really paying off for their backers.

    @OP: nice and varied collection, certainly not too influenced by forum sentiment.
    Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.

    Brilliant collection! If I’m honest there’s only one which isn’t quite to my taste but any of the rest I’d be over the moon to own. 👍🏼

    Thank you again, Gentlemen.

    Forgot to say, four of them were picked up on this forum (SC) -- wonderful facility.

    Lovely smart collection. Really like the AP Chrono actually, and the MG with the mesh dial is very interesting

    Lovely collection, varied and not many usual suspects. The AP is really nice, and like me you seem to favour the big date complication where possible!
