LIST: 9 innovations from the watchmaking wasteland of the ‘90s that matter today
Sitting between the now nostalgia-laden ‘80s and the innovation explosion of the 2000s, the 1990s is seen as something of a watchmaking wasteland; a bold (and brash) period that’s currently out of fashion, but not far enough away to be viewed through the rose tinted glasses of history. But were the ‘90s really a write-off? … ContinuedThe post LIST: 9 innovations from the watchmaking wasteland of the ‘90s that matter today appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Bear with me this week as I go a little off script. This week’s Wind Down is less about watches and more about all the stuff around them. Fashion. Technology. Business.

In Conversation with Christine Hutter, CEO of Moritz Grossmann
Christine Hutter is the rare female CEO in the male-dominated watch industry who started as a watchmaker and then founded her own company. In 2008, she started the Moritz Grossmann Company, named after one of the founding fathers of German watchmaking, from her kitchen table in her Dresden apartment. Three months later, she moved the company to Glashütte and the rest of the story is one of hard work, determination and success. I caught up with Hutter in her beautiful manufacture in Glashütte.
