TheMadDruid introduces his exciting new acquisition, a Moritz Grossmann Atum, adding another German independent timepiece to his collection. This post provides an initial hands-on look at the watch, highlighting its unique time-setting mechanism and exquisite Glashütte finishing. It invites readers to explore the distinctive craftsmanship of Moritz Grossmann.

This just showed up at my door this afternoon. And I am very excited!

When setting the time one pulls out the crown as normal. However, at that point the crown slips back into a closed-but not locked-position. The hands are set as usual and when done, a press of the funny little knob at 4:00 locks the crown in place. Dust-proof; and no unintentional moving of the already-set hands.

I will post some more pictures, with stones and Gordon's etc. in a few days.

From someone who just added an independent German to his collection today as well! Yours is totally lovely and I am a stickler for the non-moving of the hands and would really like that feature. Enjoy!
