Some more Moritz Grossmann.

A few wrist shots that may give an indication of the height of the case.

Notice "browned" hands-not "blued". Moritz Grossmann's little idiosyncratic take matched with the rose gold case.

11mm

All my watches have to undergo the 'Gordon's' test.

I think it passed.

BIG stone; borrowed from CC.

Here you can see the strap picked up the colors of the stones.

Hanging and waiting for the cab it called.

The height is clear here.

And here. But notice also the curve of the case from bottom to top.

This shot, I believe, not only shows the movement but gives you an idea of the shape of the case-I'll return to that.

Ditto

The case is 41mm-slightly large. But that measures the base . The case at top is merely 39mm. So, an indented tower. This works to make the watch look smaller than advertised-more a perfect size; and yet the wider base allows for the watch to wrest comfortably on the wrist, and decreases any "tuna can" effect. I cannot forget to mention that there is hardly a bezel to speak of-37mm of dial over a 39mm top; the dial size is enhanced by the smallish bezel. A lot of architecture going on here.

And as for the height: it really is not too tall. On the high side of some Langes which I am guessing Grossmann wants to compete with. All in all, a very fine watch and very happy addition to my band of (German) brothers.

Hope you enjoy! Mike

I was thinking i was looking at a Patek.

Damn that is a classy looking watch. Time to do some research. Such a fine looking watch. Enjoy. Bill

Thank you, Bill.

It is very classy. It can hold its own with most of the fine watches out there.

I myself is looking at acquiring the steel atum . How do you find the accuracy of the watch and further your overall feel of the watch? Best,

It is very comfortable to wear.

I don't know I'm wearing it unless I look at it. Accuracy is good so far. It picked up a minute over the course of 10 days-so 6 seconds/day. The steel movement is slightly different from the gold-it may even have been improved in some ways.

Thanks Padj.

Thanks, Blomman.

You know you have inspired me to use stones (and that guy, Vlad, as well). I just cannot see taking pictures of a watch without them any more.

Perfect timing!

I was just looking at the Atum and Benu over lunch just now and having a quick chat with Christine Hutter who is in today....very compelling watch, I must say, and very tempting, especially when one wants a well made watch that is not formed of the usual ...
