Looking at the vast range of Royal Oak watches available, which goes from classic Selfwinding models to Grande Complications, the question of which are the most sought-after models arises. Besides the Extra-Thin Jumbo watches, the full ceramic Royal Oak and the Double Balance Wheel Openworked are clearly very high in terms of desirability. So what if […]

When you look at the vast collection offered by Moritz Grossmann, the impressive range of movements or the classic, typically German style of the watches offered by the brand, it is hard to believe that Moritz Grossmann is still a very young manufacture.
