Moritz Grossmann, the proudly independent German watchmaker, is delighted to celebrate its 10th anniversary next month. To mark this special occasion, the company will present a one-off piece from the BENU line, The BENU Blue Steel.
A harmonious combination of a cool stainless steel case with a white grand-feu enamel dial and blue accents. The BENU Blue Steel is offered with the calibre 100.1 in the high-artistic-finish as a blue single edition 1 of 1.
The watch showcases Moritz Grossmann’s finest watchmaking features and 19th-century craftsmanship. In a feature different to other BENU models, the hands on the BENU Blue Steel stand out in a beautiful deep blue. This harmonises with the blue Arabic numerals and minute markers, as well as with elements inside the movement: the screws, the regulating nut and the back bushing are all also annealed in blue.
During his lifetime (1826-1885), Moritz Grossmann produced pocket watches, pendulum clocks and measuring instruments that became renowned for their beauty and accuracy. One of his trademarks were the very fine hands that enabled precise time reading on the watches and particular accuracy with the measuring instruments. Today, all hands on Moritz Grossmann watches are filed, ground and polished by hand and then annealed in colour over an open flame in the unchanged, historic method. Moritz Grossmann‘s Glashütte manufactory employs the highest standard German craftsmanship combined with modern production methods; an ongoing homage to the man who gave the company its name. Today, the company continues to create beautiful watches under the slogan “Schönstes deutsches Handwerk”.
The BENU Blue Steel is offered as a blue single edition 1 of 1, of a limited edition 18/17 2018.
