Eggs anyone?

I don’t normally pursue dress watches anymore as my attire lends more towards casual athletic wear. As I am constantly on the move with the kids and I prefer comfort over looks. So I really didn’t see myself adding another dress piece. However, MJ’s pic of the MG hamatic vintage changed all that. I remember falling in love with their tourbillion back in 2009 and really didn’t think about them again until the hamatic vintage pics starting popping up. Although the watch is all around breathtaking, the movement steals the show for me here with the egg shaped rotor and pendulum. Waiting on a blue strap from MG to dress it down a little to wear with my sweatpants and sweatshirt. I take horrible pics so I apologize in advance but the watch really is a show stopper as MJ’s pics have shown. Also wanted to say thanks to my AD for snagging the last one of this edition for me🙏

Don't get to see these beauties every day. In fact, the last time I saw one was in November 2021! This is a welcome sight for sore eyes!
Beautiful watch...

...and the hands are stunning, both in shape and color. Grossmann should only use this logotype going forward. The other one is not very good...
You won't hear or feel the rotor spin.

Thus, I think it's best to think of it as a manual that winds itself. Rotor is almost non-existent. It will take some getting used to, but I can live with that.
You beat me to it! 😜

Very envious that you got the last one! The hamatic is on my list for my next purchase and this is my favorite edition. Although my timeline was more like 2 years out so I fully expected it to sell out before I got to it 😊. Glad to see the last one go to ...
Thanks, it’s just tough for me to make that switch.

I’ve always tried to coordinate my outfits and watches. So naturally I’ve gravitated towards more casual vs dress. But certain dress pieces you just cannot deny. Maybe this piece changes that for me😉
Great watch, congrats!

I have been to Oster a few times in Denver. A classy guy and a wonderful little shop he has there.
Stunning MG!
