  • Catalogue Essay

    Unveiled in 2020, Moritz Grossman expanded its Hamatic collection with a new sibling, the Moritz Grossman Hamatic Vintage in white gold. Driven by a tribute design that pays homage to the historical fabrics of the brand, the model fused with classic aesthetics and technical prowess is impressive and garnered attention upon its released. The black-anthracite lacquer dial with elongated white Roman numerals and vintage railroad track certainly speaks of class. Boosting with highly appealing simplicity, the placement of the vintage M. Grossman insignia paired with the handcrafted hands with extreme refinement echoing from the original Mortiz Grossmann pocket watch from the 19th century with sophistication. It is notable that these delicate hands only measures at 0.1mm with the top of the second hand measuring with no more than five hundredths of a millimeter.

    The heart of the Hamatic Vintage exposed underneath the ample sapphire display on the rear is simply fascinating. Unusual at first sight, the egg-shaped pendulum swings back and forth to wind the mainspring, operating like the conventional automatic rotor, the caliber 106.0 hammer winding mechanism pivots with modernity and provides up to 72 hours of power reserve. Tastefully done, the present timepiece sits with comfort on the wrist and slides easily under the cuffs. Produced in a limited edition of just 25 pieces, the present example numbered with the lucky 8 is offered by its original owner. Extremely attractive, the Hamatic Vintage is a true representation of old-world classicism with modernity.
