Moritz Grossmann Hamatic Vintage
I have always been captivated by the innovative and cleverly-designed movement of the Hamatic, so as soon as the revived German brand announced a limited production of 25 pieces bearing the old 1875 logo, I quickly pulled the trigger.
Reminiscent of old pocket watches, the watch has a classical look - it is housed in white gold with a black dial. What is amazing is that the hands are hand-made, extremely thin (o.1 mm) and practically invisible that one can almost launch a criticism.
Here are some hastily taken smart phone pictures. The watch measures 41 mm x 11.35 mm
And of course, the fascinating Caliber 106.0 movement...
Note the egg-shaped pendulum - the center of gravity lies at the other end of the pivot to give the movement the utmost efficiency - a mere 5 degree turn is enough to set the mainspring in motion.
The finishing is, needless to say, superb - the bridges (made of German silver), chatons and everything is impeccably executed.
Here is a wrist shot...
How does the watch compare to its close sibling - the Benu in platinum (limited to 10 pieces) which bears the modern logo?

Congratulations!
It's notable that MG makes so many different variations of hand styles, and they're all incredibly attractive. Also the number of complications they have created like the Hamatic, pusher system, and strap-winder that are completely unique!
Congratulations!
A masterpiece of watchmaking, nostalgic and technical at the same time. One I am seriously considering myself ...
Well done Sam!
Another addition to your wonderful collection of independents. I am actually enquiring about this beauty that has been produced to commemorate the company's twelve year anniversary. Limited to six in steel, I doubt if there will be any left for me. Like y...
Yes I do
but the shop is closed under renovation. I have managed to get in touch with the dealer nevertheless and he has contacted Moritz Grossmann. Time will tell
Congrats!
This brand is on the up and up. Finishing. Innovative movements. How’s the chronometry/accuracy?
Haven't had time to check this particular piece
But my two other Benus are okay. No complaints so far...
Congrats on getting a very special and unique watch.
Personally I struggle with legibility on some of these model given the hands are silver and so thin, but otherwise a spectacular watch
Actually I deliberated for a while since aesthetically...
it is quite similar to the Richard Lange PLM with fusee chain (black dial, Roman indices) and the 1815 200 anniversary (in platinum)...
Beautiful
I’m considering the just announced blackened steel Power Reserve. I’m just now getting exposed to the brand. (Company press release photo) ...
MG do some of the nicest hands in the business
So fine and almost hairlike in thinness.
