Its mechanism keeps the date display correct   permanently, even when the months differ in length or the year is a leap   year. This complication is considered one of the greatest challenges  in  watchmaking and combines precise technology with master  craftsmanship. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the 17th anniversary of its rebirth, the  Glashütte-based  manufactory is unveiling an impressive, newly  engineered design. Ever  since Christine Hutter brought new life to the  tradition-filled Moritz  Grossmann name in 2008, the brand has stood for  a combination of classic  mechanisms, contemporary style and utmost  craftsmanship. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to the legacy of the man who gave the manufactory its name, Christine Hutter says, \u003cem\u003e‘When   I stumbled across Moritz Grossmann, I quickly realised just how   significant this special watchmaker from the 19th century was. His   story, his personality and work fascinated me right from the start. We   have adopted Grossmann’s standard of simple but perfect mechanics in our   watches and expanded it to include modern design approaches and   technical innovations.’\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial features\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBalance  staff with integrated safety roller, location of the  impulse pin in  the balance (Glashütte style); index adjuster with fine  screw; 2\/3  plate inspired by historical M. Grossmann pocket watches;  frame parts  in untreated German silver; raised gold chatons with  pan-head screws;  stop-second function at safety roller for pulling the  crown; hand  setting override and start of movement with lateral pusher;  gear wheel  stopwork with two-teeth backlash \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe perpetual calendar indicators\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTraditionally,  a perpetual calendar combines a variety of  information on a single  dial. Arranging this information in an appealing  way is a challenge of  its own. The Moritz Grossmann PERPETUAL CALENDAR  offers a symmetrical  and clear dial where all the indicators come  together to form a single,  harmonious picture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth the watch’s appearance and its  legibility benefit from the  way the date is presented on a ring running  around the dial, with a full  date scale from 1 to 31 printed on it. To  distinguish the date display  from the hour and minute hands and keep  the face tidy and clear, there  is a cup-shaped indicator on the outside  that marks the current date by  framing it. Another ring further in on  the dial has a fine radiant cut  to it that bolsters the elegant  appearance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe month and day of the week are displayed on two  subsidiary  dials left and right of centre, at 3 and 9 o’clock. They are  decorated  using a refined Azurage technique, just as the small seconds  are. This  technique involves a circular pattern of ultra-thin grooves  which catch  the light in an intriguing and appealing way. Each  Grossmann Uhren GmbH  November 2025 2\/11 of these subsidiary dials has a  small window at its  centre. One of them serves as a leap year  indicator, as the hallmark of a  perpetual calendar is its knowledge of  leap years and indication of the  29th of February every four years. The  second small window is a  day–night display which makes it easier to  link the time with the date  when setting the watch. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 12  o’clock position features a poetic moon phase display  where a gleaming  mother-of-pearl moon tracks across a dark night’s sky  with small,  sparkling stars. The soft glow of the moon is set against a  goldstone  background which is illuminated by small copper crystals.  Together, it  is all reminiscent of a starry night’s sky. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConvenient operation\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCorrectors  are located on the sides of the case for all the  displays on the  PERPETUAL CALENDAR. Using them, the date, day of the  week, month and  moon phase can quickly be set and coordinated. The  correctors are  recessed subtly into the case and are operated with a  special tool that  comes with the watch. The timepiece offers a further  special feature  in the form of a sum corrector. If the watch goes a few  days without  being wound, this pusher is all the wearer needs to revise  the date  since the day-of-week, month and moon phase indicators will all  follow  automatically. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalibre 101.13 – a newly engineered design\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe  PERPETUAL CALENDAR sets new standards with the newly  engineered 101.13  hand-wound calibre. This calibre is purely a plate  movement based on a  modified 100.1 movement with a module set on top for  the perpetual  calendar. Overall, it is an exceedingly complex piece of  design that  integrates numerous components. The module for the perpetual  calendar  alone consists of 211 individual parts, and they are  complemented by  the 190 components in the base movement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInnovative mechanism with a fine finish\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany  of the movement’s details are brand new, including a  simpler,  optimised stopwork, an integrated manual winder and an escape  wheel  bearing integrated into the barrel bridge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApart from the  sophisticated architecture, just the sheer  aesthetics of the calibre  alone are another key feature. This is because  Moritz Grossmann  decorates and finishes its movements in accordance  with all the rules  of traditional haute horlogerie. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA premiere with three variants \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe  Moritz Grossmann PERPETUAL CALENDAR is making its  debut in three  variants. Two models sport a rose gold case with slim,  lance-shaped  hands made of rose gold. The cup-shaped date indicator and  hour  appliqués are colour-coordinated to perfection. One of the models   features a gleaming silver argenté dial whilst the other has a vibrant   anthracite dial. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe third PERPETUAL CALENDAR variant is  presented in a platinum  case with a dial combining argenté and  anthracite colours. The hour  appliqués also have a silver colour, and  the slender hands are made of  blue tempered steel to ensure they are  easy to read against the light  background. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll three watches are worn on a dark brown alligator leather strap with a prong buckle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moritz Grossmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47183404040363,"sku":"MG-003904","price":118000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/2783\/3515\/files\/5368557327.jpg?v=1780708249","url":"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/products\/moritz-grossmann-perpetual-calendar-platinum-argente-anthracite-mg-003904","provider":"Exquisite Timepieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
