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 o...

Such an intriguing movement and a beautiful watch

By: takman : March 7th, 2022-20:04

No wonder you couldn’t resist. Congratulations!

Thank you, yes the movement is what sold me:)

By: jp884 : March 7th, 2022-21:25

Exquisite movement, Exquisite dial, even exquisite hands!

By: patrick_y : March 7th, 2022-20:12

Just exquisite!

Thanks Patrick.

By: jp884 : March 7th, 2022-21:26

Thank you for sharing with us!

By: patrick_y : March 7th, 2022-22:15

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!

All around beauty

By: TeutonicCarFan : March 7th, 2022-20:13

Thank you!

Beautiful watch...

By: mdg : March 7th, 2022-20:22

...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...

The hands.. oh those hands, to quote Jeremy Oster my AD. They are "Oh so delicious"

By: jp884 : March 7th, 2022-21:27

Big congrats…I wonder how the movement will act with our habit of flipping the wrist to turn the normal rotor?

By: Clueless_Collector : March 7th, 2022-20:25

I always twist my wrist to hear or feel the rotors spin so this hamatic gets me wondering….will it wind or hit left and right like a quick pendulum?

You won't hear or feel the rotor spin.

By: jp884 : March 7th, 2022-21:28

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.

Lots of class in this MG, and as usual, a pair of hands to die for! ;-) Congrats on an excellent Indie acquisition.

By: FabR : March 7th, 2022-20:59

Thanks Fab, yes those hands are quite possibly the best in the industry.

By: jp884 : March 7th, 2022-21:31

Fully agreed!👍😉

By: FabR : March 7th, 2022-21:50

You beat me to it! 😜

By: SakeM : March 7th, 2022-21:28

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 ...

There will be others it's just the silver plated by friction is done and I love the vintage look of the silver plated dial.

By: jp884 : March 7th, 2022-21:52

They were sold out shortly after being announced. I was just fortunate enough that a European collector backed out of his order. Thus allowing me to lock it in with my AD. It just happened to work out beautifully. You won't be disappointed when you do get...

Now that's a very nice and interesting automatic movement, my friend. Bravo!

By: amanico : March 7th, 2022-21:49

Thanks Nico, one of the most interesting when it comes to automatics. I was contemplating on adding a Breguet just to have it's inspiration in the colection.

By: jp884 : March 7th, 2022-21:54

Yes, another interesting automatic movement.

By: amanico : March 7th, 2022-21:57

Great catch and while like you my work attire is moving toward more casual I find myself liking dress watch with casual wear, both for work or home or leisure!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : March 8th, 2022-00:12

Thanks, it’s just tough for me to make that switch.

By: jp884 : March 8th, 2022-03:58

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😉

This one could certainly fit the task! Enjoy!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : March 8th, 2022-11:31

Great watch, congrats!

By: sham1 : March 8th, 2022-02:34

especially with the vintage logo. A very classy watch!

Thanks Sham1.

By: jp884 : March 8th, 2022-03:58

Huge congrats!!

By: mj23 : March 8th, 2022-03:25

And welcome to the hamatic club! Enjoy it in the best of health

Your pics made it an easy sell MJ.

By: jp884 : March 8th, 2022-03:59

Keep up the good work. Jorge

A gorgeous and very impressive watch

By: Watchonthewrist : March 8th, 2022-09:14

Love that movement a lot .

🙏 🙏🙏

By: jp884 : March 9th, 2022-02:45

The movement, the hands, the font, this is MG at its best. Big Congrats.

By: houstonian : March 9th, 2022-05:34

Thank you, also the silver plated by friction dial gives it a beautiful aged look...

By: jp884 : March 9th, 2022-17:27

That adds to the pocket watch charm of it. They really nailed this watch, I cannot find any fault in it and I tried. The finishing is top notch by MG.

100% agree.

By: houstonian : March 9th, 2022-19:17

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

Jeremy is truly one of the best, very communicative and knowledgeable and goes out of his way to make you happy.

By: jp884 : March 9th, 2022-19:35

I can't recommend him enough.

Stunning MG!

By: jleno : March 10th, 2022-01:00

Always a fan of movements that are completely unique!

Thank you, the movement is what sold me, the rest of the watch is not too shabby either:)

By: jp884 : March 15th, 2022-21:45

Many congratulations on the pick, and the pics too which are more than okay.

By: Rosneathian : March 19th, 2022-22:47

A stunning piece…

By: tempusfugit : March 20th, 2022-07:49

Congratulations! It is a beauty with an intriguing automatic movement.
