hammer automatics in the past were relatively inefficient compared to rotors but the hamatic winds as efficiently as a rotor would. That's because the centre of gravity of the hammer is far from its pivot, spanning almost the entire movement, or double that or an ordinary rotor. This results in increased leverage and torque so even a five degree movement of the hammer winds the mainspring! This might just be the most beautiful automatic movement in the market.

... with the Hammatik, a hammer automatic in a very nice outfit: Need to learn more about it but wanted to share a quick picture with you. If they stop those weird limited editions and do more of this... 👍🏻 Cheers Henrik ...
That is interesting

I do wonder about the winding efficiency though. An automatic with a rotor will oscillate enough to wind even with one's arm hanging straight down. Will this do the same?

I do not love their logo--I feel it really needs to be redesigned. It looks like a lower priced hotel chain type logo... redo the logo MG! Completely redo it. It looks like a real estate company lawn sign.... It even looks like an accounting firm. Change!...
