Moritz Grossmann

BENU

A Glashuette wristwatch in mint condition, with original box, certificate, operating instructions, loupe and cleaning cloth

Sold

This timelessly elegant wristwatch in neo-classical style is fitted with a classic auxiliary seconds display. The hand-crafted hands are blued stainless steel and make for easy reading of the time from every angle; the glass back allows an unobstructed view of the outstandingly beautiful movement.

The BENU takes its name from the ancient Egyptian deity that rises from the ashes like the phoenix in Greek mythology - a watch created by the Moritz Grossmann company that unreservedly reflects and nurtures the heritage of Moritz Grossmann himself - its timelessly elegant, puristic design is clearly inspired by Grossmann’s own personal credo. The heavy polished white gold case, the slim bezel, the solid silver dial and the Arabic numerals come together to present a picture of minimalist elegance - puristic design on the outside conceals traditional excellent craftsmanship and modern finesse inside the case.
