Energetic, dynamic and expressive - a new colourway builds on the success of the CENTRAL SECOND model unveiled by Moritz Grossmann last year. The striking purple dial has a sophisticated sheen and makes a bold yet tasteful statement on the wearer's wrist. CENTRAL SECOND Purple has a modern look which is further enhanced by a black, hand-stitched strap made from Kudu leather.

The striking Central Second brings together a case made from polished steel with a charmingly elegant feel and superb functionality. Schönstes deutsches Handwerk made in Germany that unites the highest degree of craftsmanship with a mechanism that functions simply perfectly. In doing so, the manufactory once again recalls the spirit of its namesake and grand master of the Glashütte art of watchmaking, Moritz Grossmann. In his treatise written back in the 19th century, the exceptional watchmaker and founder of the German School of Watchmaking (1878) described how to construct a simple but mechanically perfect watch.  

Like the blue dial, the limited edition purple version is powered by the new calibre 100.11. The force of the mainspring is transferred from the third wheel to the new central second wheel via an additional intermediate wheel in the center of the movement, keeping the second hand rotating in the center of the dial.

Moritz Grossmann timepieces sell very quickly. If interested in one of these watches please reach out to Jeremy: [email protected] to be updated with availability.
