Hands-On - Moritz Grossmann Atum Hamatic with Pendulum Winding System (Specs & Price)
The vast majority of mechanical watches available nowadays rely on a central oscillating weight to provide power to their movements. Of course, we see lots of variations on this theme - for instance the winching system of the Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious, off-centred micro-rotors, peripheral rotors or even linear rotors. However, the principle is the same and originates?from early pendulum clocks.? To celebrate and bring the pendulum-style movement of clocks into the 21st?century, Moritz Grossmann presents the Atum Hamatic.BackgroundThe often overlooked manufacture of Moritz Grossmann, mentioned in our Germans do it better? article, produces some stellar watches with surprising complications and features that stand out from the crowd. And crowd is a relative term here, considering the fact the brand produces very low numbers of watches per year. The trademark Saxon style is present in almost every watch, with clean and legible dials and superbly finished movements. Moritz Grossma

Hands-On - The Longines Spirit Green Dial Collection (Specs & Price)
Presented in 2020, the Longines Spirit collection is a tribute to the pioneers who conquered the air, land and sea relying on their Longines time instruments. While it combines characteristic Longines and aviation design cues, this vintage-inspired line is not a re-edition and was created from scratch to celebrate this rich heritage. The collection comprises 40mm and 42mm time-and-date models and a chronograph, and all come with a chronometer-certified movement. Following the classic silver, black and blue dial iterations, the time-and-date models are now available with a green twist.?Green is the new blue, which was the new black, and it is now featured on the dial of the Longines Spirit watches with a dark shade of khaki paired with a matte sandblasted finish. Next to the classic silver, black and blue dial iterations, it allows Longines to introduce an additional colour to the collection with a sporty yet elegant twist. And, this feels rather coherent with the model's vintage-inspir

Introducing: New Skeleton Rado Captain Cook and True Square in Navy Blue Ceramic
By now, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to you that Rado, a Swatch Group brand, has gained (well, self-attributed, but justified) the title of The Master of Materials, being one of the leading representatives of the ceramic watch – thanks to sister company ComaDur. Ceramic has multiple qualities – it is durable, scratch-resistant, light, soft to the touch, etc. But, unlike coated metal watches, the colour of ceramic is a property of the material itself, meaning it is resistant to wear and won’t fade. In this context, Rado has been playing with black, grey, green and even white watches. And now, it’s time for navy blue to become the latest member of the family, with new editions of the Captain Cook and True Square models.
