Watch Description

Kaufmann Limited Edition - Date Stainless Steel

A Kaufmann de Suisse x Moritz Grossmann collaboration - this limited edition DATE features a custom crafted dial in Kaufmann de Suisse's signature rich purple. Only 1 of 5 produced in the world.

Apart from the exact time, what people want to know most when they look at their watches is the current date. So the date display ranks just behind the hour, minute, and seconds indications even though it is a comparatively recent development in the long history of horology. The first wristwatch with an analogue date was introduced in the early 20th century. Grossmann‘s watchmakers are taking their inspiration from this classic display type but have perceptibly evolved it: their jumping date is remarkably easy to use.

The DATE emphasises the date indication with a complete scale and the highly functional design of the date marker. The calibre 100.3 in the DATE is based on the calibre 100.1, preserving many essential components. But to integrate the jumping date mechanism on the dial side of the movement, several key parts had to be redesigned. The additional setting crown at the 10 o‘clock position reveals the complication at first sight.

The most eye-catching feature of this watch is its beautiful guilloché dial in Kaufmann purple. The special edition, which is limited to a run of 5 pieces, was created in collaboration with exquisite dial manufactory Comblémine by Kari Voutilainen in Switzerland’s Val-de-Travers. The brilliantly iridescent guilloché on the main dial and subsidiary seconds draw the eye and will lend any outfit a special touch – exciting, artistic and very, very cool.

# Moritz Grossmann x Kaufmann de Suisse Voutilainen Dial Benu Date LE-5 Review by A.I. WatchMetrics

## Watch Summary
This ultra-exclusive haute horlogerie dress watch, limited to just 5 pieces through a collaboration between Moritz Grossmann, Kaufmann de Suisse, and master dialmaker Kari Voutilainen, features an exquisite hand-guilloché silver dial with intricate patterns, an off-center layout with small seconds and date window, encased in a refined 40mm 18k white gold case, powered by the in-house manual-winding Caliber 100.2 with 72 hours of power reserve, appealing to elite collectors who demand peerless artisanal mastery and German precision engineering.

## Overall Watch Rating: 8.1/10.0

**Rarity Metric (9.9/10.0)** - Limited to only 5 pieces worldwide, this collaboration eclipses the exclusivity of most Patek Philippe limited editions.
**Dials & Design Metric (9.9/10.0)** - Kari Voutilainen's hand-guilloché artistry on the asymmetric Benu dial achieves perfection akin to his own Vingt-8 masterpieces.
**Material Metric (9.7/10.0)** - The 18k white gold case, paired with double-domed anti-reflective sapphire, matches the opulence of A. Lange & Söhne's finest offerings.
**Brand Metric (9.7/10.0)** - Moritz Grossmann delivers haute horlogerie excellence through innovative independence, rivaling F.P. Journe in prestige.
**Movement Metric (9.7/10.0)** - In-house Caliber 100.2 shines with patented escapement tech, Geneva finishing, and reliability on par with top independents like Greubel Forsey basics.
**History & Innovation Metric (8.0/10.0)** - Blending Grossmann's modern German innovations with Voutilainen's dial legacy provides strong niche impact similar to early MB&F contributions.
**Versatility Metric (7.0/10.0)** - Suited for formal and collector occasions but hampered by 30m WR and no lume compared to versatile pieces like the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin.
**Functions Metric (4.7/10.0)** - Timekeeping with date delivers everyday utility on par with standard luxury dress watches like the Vacchero Constantin Patrimony.
**Complications Metric (4.5/10.0)** - The date window adds basic sophistication equivalent to those in entry haute dress models from Blancpain.

## Total Performance Score (TPS): 5.9

## WM Collector Grade: B+

## Performance Insights: Strengths in rarity, dials, materials, brand, and movement dominate, while complications and functions lag; it aligns closely with its implied price for supreme exclusivity.

## TPS Interpretation: Premium Value: The watch justifies its high price with unmatched artisanal rarity and craftsmanship in the haute horlogerie segment.
