The Atum is most likely the most successful timepiece of the Moritz Grossmann collection.
The manufacture of Moritz Grossmann is based in Glashütte, Germany. Glashütte is located in what used to be Eastern Germany until 1989. Glashütte is home to “German watchmaking” having been the center of watchmaking in Germany for centuries. Lange & Söhne, Tutima, Glashütte Original, Nomos, and more are calling Glashütte their home. Just to name a few.
This new timepiece carries an enamel dial with a very classic and timeless look, the white fired enamel dial adorned by roman numerals expressing class and style. I like that there is no date interupting the dial. Unfortunately, the press release did not contain a picture of the backside, the movement. I will see that I get to photograph this watch during upcoming Baselworld and will show you the movement view afterwards.
This watch comes in two cases, Rosegold and Whitegold.
Each version is limited to 25 pieces worldwide. Delivery is starting immediately. For more information view the homepage of Moritz Grossmann.
