Grossmann's Tremblage Gold: A Hand‑Engraved Anniversary Tribute in Solid Gold

A precious translation of an already expressive model

Moritz Grossmann releases 25 pieces of the Tremblage Gold as an anniversary edition that moves its signature tremblage engraving into a solid 18k rose gold case. The Tremblage dial finish — a granular, chased surface selectively polished to reveal highlights — first appeared on a steel model and quickly became the manufacture’s most artisanal expression. This Gold edition heightens that hammer‑and‑burin ritual and pairs it with untreated German silver and precious‑metal casing.

Case, dial and the art of tremblage

The case measures 41 mm in diameter, is crafted in 18k rose gold and sits 10.8 mm thick, with a satin‑polished bezel and hand‑polished flanks. The dial starts as an untreated Maillechort blank before a single engraver applies the tremblage technique, producing an organic, frosted field. Highly polished chapter rings and applied rose‑gold hour markers punctuate the texture. A hand‑finished small seconds sits at 6 o’clock, and blued steel hands cut a crisp contrast against the warm gold and textured silver.

Movement: in‑house, hand‑finished and resolutely Saxon

Inside is Grossmann’s hand‑wound calibre 106.1, assembled and regulated at the manufactory in Glashütte. The 3 Hz calibre delivers a 72‑hour power reserve and is built on a German silver three‑quarter plate with Glashütte ribbing. Finishing is classically Saxon: hand‑bevelled edges, black‑polished steel screws and the brand’s hand‑engraved balance cock. The movement, visible through a sapphire caseback, keeps the aesthetic restrained while showing high craftsmanship.

Edition, reference and market positioning

The Tremblage Gold is a strictly limited anniversary run of 25 pieces (Reference MG‑TREM‑200G/01). Each watch is individually numbered and comes in a presentation case with a certificate of authenticity and a short portfolio documenting the dial engraving process — a nod to collectors who prize provenance as well as process. Retail is set at €48,000 (incl. VAT), placing the model between Grossmann’s regular‑production classics and its ultra‑limited bespoke commissions.

“The Tremblage Gold is less about flash and more about the quiet work of the hand,” says a senior member of Grossmann’s atelier. “It’s where tool marks, time and temperament become part of the visual vocabulary.”

Availability and significance

The watches will be available from April 2026 through Moritz Grossmann’s Glashütte manufacture and select global retailers. Beyond gold and an artisanal surface, the Tremblage Gold underscores a trend among independents to return to historical finishing techniques for distinction. If you collect hand‑finished watches, view one in person and decide — 25 pieces will not last long.
