Moritz Grossmann has released the Benu 1878, a limited edition watch celebrating two anniversaries: the bicentenary of founder Karl Moritz Grossmann's birth and the 18th anniversary of the brand's revival. The watch features a unique dial with a relief engraving of the German School of Watchmaking, founded by Grossmann.
- Limited to 26 pieces
- Price: EUR 38,500 (excl. tax)
The dial is crafted from German silver and features a relief engraving of the German School of Watchmaking, created using a specialized three-dimensional technique.
The hands are manually crafted from thermally annealed steel, resulting in a brown-violet color.
The in-house calibre 100.1 movement is visible through a sapphire crystal caseback and includes traditional Glashütte details such as an untreated German silver pillar structure and white sapphire jewels set in gold chatons.
The movement operates at a slow beat frequency of 18,000vph (2.5Hz).
The case is a three-part construction, polished, and features a unique pull-out and resetting crown with a movement restart pusher at 4 o'clock.
The watch is paired with a brown kudu leather strap and a steel prong buckle.
