Close-Up: The Moritz Grossmann Hamatic, the First Automatic Timepiece from the German Brand

Moritz Grossmann makes less than 500 watches each year That has changed with the official introduction of the Hamatic, Moritz Grossmann's first foray into the world of automatic timekeeping The new movement poised an interesting challenge to Moritz Grossmann's R&D team as they couldn't plan for hand finishing through CAD due to the movement's atypical design, thus a lot of trial and error was necessary to execute the final appearance of Caliber 1060.

The result is a classic pillar design made of untreated German silver with a Grossmann plate featuring six Glashütte stripes and plenty of anglage The screws are heat annealed to reach the same brown-violet color as the watch's hands, a characteristic of all Moritz Grossmann timepieces Moritz Grossmann states that this look is modeled after historic pocketwatches made by Grossmann himself in the mid-1800s.

Moritz Grossmann is the only German brand that builds its hands in-house and are a statement to the brand's attention to detail. . Source
