Moritz Grossmann set foot in the world of independent watchmaking in 2008 from Glashütte Germany. In the spirit of 19th century watchmaker Moritz Grossmann, the brand released its first timepiece named after a phoenix in Egyptian mythology, the Benu, and eventually became the code to naming all collection after gods of the mythical including Tefnut and Atum.
Distinguishes itself by its fineness on details and individuality, the Benu Power Reserve features a celebration to simplicity and class with a touch of modernity. Designed with a bar-shaped aperture under the brand’s logo reveals a linear display of power reserve indication. As the wearer wounds the timepiece, the display of red within the bar will decrease as its gaining power. To the observant connoisseurs with an eye for detail, the elegantly tapered hands seemingly black from afar, reveals an intriguing brown-violet hue with added charm, the colour is achieved by a heating process beyond the temperature typically used to achieve blued steel hands. Paying homage to the 19th century pocket watches, the immaculately finished movement with matching brown-violet screws and beautiful hand engraved balance cock can be enjoyed under the ample display of the sapphire caseback. Deviced with practicality in mind, the mechanism is also fitted with a hack seconds function. Unusual at first, a quick pull of the crown allows the time to be set, but the seconds hand remains stationary. The pusher at 4 o’clock allows the second hand to regain motion to ensure precision.
Tastefully done, the present timepiece sits with comfort on the wrist and slides easily under the cuffs. With a production rate of about only 200 watches per year, the Benu Power Reserve is a true representation of old-world classicism with modernity. Furthermore, the present example is offered in excellent condition by its original owner and accompanied with its full accessories.
