CALIBRE 102.3

Back

For the rectangular shape, the new calibre 102.3 was developed, which makes optimum use of the installation space for the movement and also offers further advanta-ges. It has resulted in a movement with a relatively large barrel.
The characteristic stop-second function has been rea-lised in a new form.

The kinetic energy of the angle lever is transmitted via a coupling rod, whereby the balance is gently braked by means of the stop spring and comes to a precise standstill.
The entire construction of the movement was designed to realise the time display with a central hour and minute hand, as well as a small second at 6 o’clock.

High Artistic Finish

High Artistic Finish

The CORNER STONE is supplied with a movement in High Artistic Finish. The typical four Grossmann stripes are applied horizontally to the two thirds plate. The writing “Moritz Grossmann” is engraved by hand.

The ratchet wheel has a particularly elaborate surface finish in the form of three band snailing. For the resulting optical effect, the teeth of the ratchet are initially given a continuous bevel. The snailing is then traditionally applied with a bronze bell. Turning the ratchet wheel creates an optical illusion: the rotation of the wheel when winding the watch is no longer perceptible.

The stepped balance cock with hand-engraved pattern, the golden chatons and the manually crafted hands tempered over an open flame perfect the extremely sophisticated impression of this watch.
