The Story

The Mühle-Glashütte Teutonia IV Big Date Edition 1994 is the crown jewel of the anniversary series — and the most technically significant watch Mühle has released in years. For the first time, Mühle-Glashütte debuts an in-house developed big date module in the new calibre MU9424-GD. This is not a Sellita with cosmetic modifications. The big date module — from the module plate to the units ring, tens star, and the smallest click spring — was designed, developed, and produced by Mühle in Glashütte. It is the brand's most significant step toward full manufacture status since the introduction of the woodpecker neck regulation in 2003.

The big date display sits at 6 o'clock, positioned there specifically because the in-house module allows flexible placement on the dial side — a capability that standard off-the-shelf date modules do not offer. The result is a perfectly balanced dial: the Mühle logo at 12, the big date at 6, the hour markers in between. The anthracite-blue dial with horizontal structure gives the surface a subtle, directional texture that shifts under changing light, while bright nickel-plated hands and applied indices maintain the Teutonia's characteristic legibility. Anniversary markers appear on the minute track — 30 in Mühle blue (marking the 30th anniversary) and 155 replacing 55 (marking 155 years since the 1869 founding).

The Teutonia IV case architecture — 41mm with volute-shaped horns, hand-applied vertical cuts on the case middle section, and finely polished horn tips — frames the in-house calibre with the craftsmanship this movement deserves. The exhibition caseback reveals the MU9424-GD with its anniversary rotor bearing a gold-coloured 30-year logo, and a polished movement holder showcasing gold-coloured engravings of the calibre and module designations. Limited to 155 pieces in this anthracite-blue dial variant.

The Teutonia IV Big Date Edition 1994 is described by Mühle as the "highlight of our anniversary year" — and the choice of this watch for the debut of their first in-house big date module tells you everything about its significance. Twenty years after the woodpecker neck regulation, Mühle proves again that they are a manufacturer, not merely an assembler. The MU9424-GD is the beginning of a new chapter for the brand — and the 155 owners of each dial variant will hold the first pages.

Key Features

  • Calibre MU9424-GD — Mühle's first in-house big date module — Built around a Swiss base with Mühle's own big date module on top. The module — from the module plate to the units ring, tens star, click, and click spring — was designed, developed, and produced in Glashütte. The in-house module allows the big date to be flexibly positioned on the dial side, which is why it sits at 6 o'clock in perfect symmetry. Regulated in six positions to achieve 0 to +8 seconds per day. 41-hour power reserve
  • Big date display at 6 o'clock — A large-format date window using a specially designed units ring and tens star to display two oversized digits. Far more legible than a standard date window, and a classic Glashütte complication — A. Lange & Söhne and Glashütte Original both offer their own versions. This is Mühle's entry into that tradition, at a fraction of the price
  • Anthracite-blue dial with horizontal structure — The horizontal texture gives the dial a subtle directional quality that shifts between warm anthracite and cooler blue depending on the angle of light. Anniversary markers: 30 in Mühle blue on the minute track, 155 replacing 55
  • Anniversary caseback details — Wide sapphire exhibition window reveals the MU9424-GD with a gold-coloured anniversary rotor bearing the 30-year logo, and a polished movement holder with gold-coloured engravings of the calibre and module designations. The most detailed caseback in the Mühle range
  • Volute-shaped horns with hand-applied vertical cut — The Teutonia's signature curled lugs with hand-finished vertical cuts on the case middle section and polished horn tips. A level of case finishing that connects the Edition 1994 to the Teutonia family's classical identity
  • Crocodile leather strap with butterfly clasp — 20mm black crocodile leather with a secure folding deployment clasp. The most formal strap configuration, matching the Big Date's status as the pinnacle of the Edition 1994

The MU9424-GD: A New Chapter for Mühle

  • Mühle's first in-house big date — The big date is a signature Glashütte complication. A. Lange & Söhne pioneered it. Glashütte Original refined it. Mühle-Glashütte now offers their own interpretation — at a price point that makes the Glashütte big date accessible for the first time. The in-house module was designed, developed, and produced entirely in Glashütte
  • Flexible positioning — Standard date modules are fixed in position. The MU9424-GD's in-house module can be placed anywhere on the dial side, which is why the big date sits at 6 o'clock in perfect vertical symmetry with the logo at 12. This is not a cosmetic rearrangement — it's an engineering capability that required a purpose-built module
  • From woodpecker neck to big date — In 2003, the woodpecker neck regulation proved Mühle was more than an assembler. In 2024, the MU9424-GD proves it again. Two decades apart, both innovations share the same principle: solve a watchmaking problem with a proprietary solution developed in Glashütte
  • The Teutonia as the flagship — Mühle chose the Teutonia IV — the most elegant collection in their range — to debut this movement. The pairing is deliberate: the big date is a dressy complication, and the Teutonia IV, with its volute-shaped horns and hand-finished case, is the dress-watch platform that does it justice

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a big date and why is it significant?

A big date (Großdatum) is a date display using two separate discs — a units ring and a tens star — to show two oversized digits in a large window. Unlike a standard date wheel, which squeezes all 31 numbers onto a single disc and displays them through a tiny aperture, the big date splits the date into tens and units across two co-planar discs, allowing each digit to be significantly larger and more legible. It is one of the signature complications of Glashütte watchmaking — introduced by A. Lange & Söhne with the Lange 1 in 1994, and now offered by Glashütte Original and, with this watch, by Mühle-Glashütte. The MU9424-GD is Mühle's first movement with an in-house designed big date module, making this a landmark watch for the brand.

Is the MU9424-GD fully in-house?

The MU9424-GD uses a Swiss base movement with Mühle's own big date module built on top. The big date module — including the module plate, units ring, tens star, click, and click spring — was designed, developed, and produced by Mühle in Glashütte. This is the same modular approach used by many respected manufacturers, including Glashütte Original in their early big date models. What matters is that the complication module is genuinely Mühle's own, not an off-the-shelf addition. Combined with the patented woodpecker neck regulation, Mühle rotor, and Glashütte finishing, the level of manufacturing depth is significant.

How does this compare to the other Teutonia IV models?

City Chain carries three Teutonia IV variants. The Moonphase (M1-44-05) shows the lunar cycle with blue PVD hands on a white grained dial, using the Sellita SW 280-1. The BlueMoon (M1-44-62) repositions the moonphase between 6 and 9 o'clock on a midnight blue dial, using the SW 288-1. This Big Date Edition 1994 (M1-44-75-1994-LB) features a big date at 6 o'clock with an in-house module, using the MU9424-GD — the only Mühle calibre in the City Chain catalogue. Choose the Moonphase for lunar poetry. Choose the BlueMoon for atmospheric design. Choose the Big Date for the most technically significant movement Mühle has ever offered.

How does this compare to the other Edition 1994 releases?

City Chain carries four Edition 1994 models. The 29er Big Bronze features an aluminium bronze case with a full Mühle blue dial. The S.A.R. Rescue-Timer features a black PVD case with a blue rubber bezel. The 29er Big Small Second brings a first-ever complication to the 29er. This Teutonia IV Big Date is the pinnacle — the only one powered by a Mühle in-house calibre, the only one with a big date complication, and the watch Mühle chose to debut their most significant technical innovation since 2003. All are limited to 155 pieces.

What are the anniversary markers on the dial?

The number 30 on the minute track is highlighted in Mühle anniversary blue — marking the 30th anniversary of the 1994 refounding. The number 155 replaces 55 on the minute scale — marking 155 years since Robert Mühle's original 1869 founding. These details are also present on the 29er Big Bronze Edition 1994 but absent from the S.A.R. and Small Second editions, which express the anniversary through colour and complication instead.

Is there another dial colour available?

Yes. The Teutonia IV Big Date Edition 1994 is available in two dial variants: anthracite-blue with horizontal structure (this model) and ice-blue with fine sunray finish. Each is limited to 155 pieces independently — meaning there are 155 anthracite-blue and 155 ice-blue, not 155 total. Both share the same case, movement, and crocodile leather strap.

What is the woodpecker neck regulation?

Developed and patented by Mühle-Glashütte in 2003, the woodpecker neck regulation locks the regulator arm both sideways and downward, preventing it from jumping out of position during shocks. It is fitted to every Mühle movement, including the new MU9424-GD — where it sits alongside the in-house big date module as the second proprietary innovation in a single calibre.

Is this watch made in Germany?

Yes — and more so than any other watch in the Mühle collection. While the base movement is Swiss, the big date module was designed, developed, and produced in Glashütte. The woodpecker neck regulation, anniversary rotor, polished movement holder with gold engravings, and all finishing are applied in-house. The case with its hand-finished volute-shaped horns, dial assembly, and final quality control are performed in Glashütte. The MU9424-GD represents Mühle's deepest level of in-house manufacturing.

How long does the power reserve last?

Up to 41 hours when fully wound. The automatic movement is self-winding through wrist motion. If left unworn for roughly two days, the watch will stop and need to be set again.

Is this a good gift?

This is the most significant gift in the entire City Chain Mühle catalogue. The Teutonia IV Big Date Edition 1994 is the watch Mühle chose to debut their first in-house big date module — a landmark moment for a 155-year-old Glashütte manufacturer. The anthracite-blue dial with its horizontal structure, the big date at 6 o'clock, the gold-logoed anniversary rotor, and the hand-finished Teutonia case combine into a watch that carries more story, more technical substance, and more heritage significance than anything else in the range. 155 pieces per dial colour. A gift for the person who understands that the most important thing about a watch is what's inside it.

The case with its hand-finished volute-shaped horns, dial assembly, and final quality control are performed in Glashütte. The MU9424-GD represents Mühle's deepest level of in-house manufacturing.

How long does the power reserve last?

Up to 41 hours when fully wound. The automatic movement is self-winding through wrist motion. If left unworn for roughly two days, the watch will stop and need to be set again.

Is this a good gift?

This is the most significant gift in the entire City Chain Mühle catalogue. The Teutonia IV Big Date Edition 1994 is the watch Mühle chose to debut their first in-house big date module — a landmark moment for a 155-year-old Glashütte manufacturer. The anthracite-blue dial with its horizontal structure, the big date at 6 o'clock, the gold-logoed anniversary rotor, and the hand-finished Teutonia case combine into a watch that carries more story, more technical substance, and more heritage significance than anything else in the range. 155 pieces per dial colour. A gift for the person who understands that the most important thing about a watch is what's inside it.
