Amanico's post showcases his favorite Moritz Grossmann watch, the Atum Enamel, concluding his series on the brand. This article highlights the exquisite craftsmanship of both the rose gold and white gold limited editions, focusing on their stunning enamel dials and meticulously finished movements, inviting readers to appreciate the artistry of independent watchmaking.

A promise is a promise. I told you that I will end my series of postings about Moritz Grossmann watches with my favorite.

Well, I could only shoot one version, the Atum rose gold edition, while I am more attracted by the white gold version, but both are made in limited editions of 25 watches, so I guess it will be pretty hard to find.

Here are both featured in the same picture:

As you can see, same dial, different case color.

So, here are the pictures I could take of the rose gold version.

The case is 41 mm big, 11, 35 mm high, which is not only good in the paper, but very good in terms of proportions in the reality.

These hands are sublime, too. And what to say about this dial? The white enamel is bewitching, in terms of depth and warmth. The Blue XII is the cherry on the cake. I would have preferred arabic numbers, instead of roman numbers, yes, but not a deal breaker, for me.

As for the movement, a picture is worth a thousand words. German silver, Geneva Stripes, hand engraved balance cock... Clean, sober, finished with care, in one word: German.

While browsing on the net, I saw another version, which I think was reserved to the Japanese market:

But I prefer the version I posted.

And, as an extra bonus... A Benu Enamel, 41 mm case, in steel... With arabic numbers, in a limited production of 18 pieces per year.

My thoughts? An enamel dial sublimates a watch. The Benu and the Atum are no exceptions to that!

Best,

Nicolas

Key Points from the Discussion

Moritz Grossmann's enamel dialed watches, like the Atum, are reminiscent of Lang & Heyne's Georg model, also produced in limited editions of 25 pieces.
The thin bezel and the way the movement perfectly fills the case back are highly appreciated features of Moritz Grossmann watches, suggesting the brand is underrated and could benefit from improved marketing.
The cream enamel dial of the rose gold and white gold Atum versions exhibit different levels of warmth, and the dials are crafted by "Donsee · Cadran."
The enamel dials are produced by a Swiss enameller renowned for creating the whitest enamel dials in the industry to a very high standard.
The Atum Enamel is available in limited editions of 25 pieces for both rose gold and white gold versions, making them quite rare.
The case dimensions of the Atum Enamel are 41 mm in diameter and 11.35 mm in height, offering excellent proportions.

One of the things I like about Moritz Grossmann is the thin bezel and the way the movement fills up the case back so well. An under rated brand in my opinion which could do with some improved marketing
