Launched in 2018 to celebrate the Moritz Grossman’s 10th Anniversary, the ATUM Pure Santa Claus was created as part of a series of 24 piece unique watches to originally be auctioned off by Christies with one piece unique being sold per day in the running to Christmas. The last watch offered from the series, the ATUM Pure Santa Claus boasts Moritz Grossmann’s impressive craftsmanship and technical mastery, with a stunning semi-skeletonized silver dial featuring cut outs that show Santa on his sleigh with a solitary reindeer flying through a starry Moon-lit sky trees beneath him. Fit with cherry red applied indices and hands, the ATUM’s Christmas inspiration is no secret. Mirroring the same level of detail as its display, the ATUM’s 41mm stainless steel case features downturned lugs with spring bar holes that are close to the timepiece’s midcase, allowing its leather strap to wear tight to the watch, and thus create a close wearing experience as its lugs wrap around the wrist. Featuring a pusher at 4 o’clock, the ATUM’s complex and stunningly finished manual-wind cal. 201.1 movement’s technical mastery reveals itself. Used to manually restart the hacking seconds after the watch has been reset, this pusher ensures that the time can be set precisely and that the hands don’t move after the crown has been pushed back into the case. A beautiful combination of a Christmas-inspired design and Glashutte’s famed craftsmanship, the ATUM Pure Santa Claus Piece Unique is a fun and thoroughly impressive timepiece.

As fun and cheery as it is technically astute and aesthetically unique, the ATUM Pure Santa Claus is a piece unique that serves as a delightful showcase of Moritz Grossmann's famed German craftsmanship.
