Description

Moritz Grossmann Benu Hamatic White Gold
Reference: MG-002303

Throughout millennia, researchers and inventors dreamed of building a perpetual motion machine; a device that would continue to move indefinitely once started. Without any external source of power, it was believed that the machine itself could generate an unlimited amount of energy. It was only with the formulation of the law of conservation of energy in the middle of the 19th century that physics quashed the principle of perpetual motion. Nevertheless, people’s fascination for the concept remained.
While Moritz Grossmann’s HAMATIC calibre does not purport to be a perpetual motion machine (because it draws its kinetic energy from an external source), the cleverly designed concept is fascinating and beautiful and draws inspiration from this dream.

So, how does it work?
Moritz Grossmann’s HAMATIC adopts a pendulum-style hammer weight to convert the energy generated through the wearer’s movements to the ratchet wheel and the mainspring in the barrel, meaning that an external energy source makes the dream of infinite motion come true.

It’s, therefore, safe to say that the HAMATIC is one of the most beautiful and complex examples of ‘would-be’ perpetual motion.
The Benu HAMATIC collection is available in different case materials and dial colours, each reflecting a different style and preference.

The clean, pure aesthetic of the white opaline dial, hand-annealed violet hands and solid white gold case affords a fresh, contemporary look to this special timepiece inspired by the history of horology. Any watch lover or collector will appreciate the craftsmanship and heritage of this beautiful piece.
