I think in the past

micro rotors although better looking than most semi rotors did not have the sufficient weight to power a movement. Yes, Patek, Chopard, Laurent Ferrier and even Mont Blanc have done it but many manufacturers still prefer the reliability and accuracy of their semi rotor movements.

Grossmann v Grossmann
By: sham1 : July 22nd, 2019-23:36
This year I have been impressed with two watches launched by the under rated Glashutte brand, Moritz Grossmann. Both are 41mm in diameter and share a similar case but that is as far as the similarities go. The Hamatic launched a couple of months ago in Mo...
I am wondering

why no manufacturer has introduced this alternative of the automatic movement because it looks so much more attractive than one with a rotor, even a mini rotor and I am including Laurent Ferrier's galet micro rotor too
Really?

Correct me if I am wrong but are the the skeletonised ones with the 'B' incorporated in the rotor?
No, this one.

Yes, this is a rotor! ...
Wow! That looks quite nice

It would be something used by MB&F! Which models does this movement go into?

I hope Moritz Grossmann will issue such a watch one day!
Thanks for your feedback Mahesh

It would be great if Moritz Grossmann incorporate the vintage logo to their entire collection. Perhaps they are using the Power Reserve Vintage as a test bed for this idea!
This is so nice

After some mishaps with heat blueing steel, I know how hard it is to get that maroon color of the hands on the manual wind. And the Grossman auto is a marvel in watchmaking (even if I mean that a proper wristwatch is manually wound).
I must say I like them a lot but...

...the one I prefer before all others is your piece unique, absolutely awesome ! You very lucky guy my friend
I too have no qualms about the current logo
By: sham1 : July 23rd, 2019-19:40
although I do think that the vintage logo is very nice. I believe this hammer/pendulum movement must be more difficult to construct and perfect or else we would have seen it as a standard issue on most automatic watches by now. Regrettably, I am not so te...
