As part of their 10th anniversary, independent Glashütte watchmaker Moritz Grossmann are presenting their third unique piece, the ATUM Date All Blue.

As with all Moritz Grossmann watches, the ATUM Date All Blue combines clear design with first-rate technology. Issued as a one-off as a variant on the ATUM Date, the watch is a fine example of integrated date setting technology alongside beautiful craftsmanship. In addition to the accurate jumping date display, the date can be corrected forwards and backwards at any time, up to less than one second before and after midnight. A separate locking crown at “10 o’clock” allows the date to be set by turning in both directions, forwards and backwards, without having to stop the movement.

With the ATUM Date All Blue, the silver dial harmonises with the blue hands and a blue date window. Continuing the theme, the watch uses blued steel screws, a rare variation on the otherwise predominantly brown-violet annealed screws at Grossmann.

The visionary and inventor Moritz Grossmann loved to study how watchmaking varied from area to area, exploring Hamburg, Munich, La Chaux-de-Fonds, England, France, Denmark, and Sweden to acquire the world’s horological know-how. His determination to broaden his knowledge was particularly unusual for his time, as it was very difficult to journey across the continent, with walking or travelling on horseback being the only options.

Under the tagline “Schönstes deutsches Handwerk”, the Moritz Grossmann brand manufactures timepieces to the highest standard of craftsmanship. The ATUM Date all Blue is offered with the calibre 100.3 in the high-artistic finish as a blue single edition 1 of 1.
