With independent watchmaking playing a crucial role in today's haute horology, Moritz Grossmann has emerged as one of the most renowned German watchmaking companies. Inspired by the 19th-century watchmaker Moritz Grossmann, the brand launched its first timepiece “Benu” named after the phoenix, a mythical creature from Egyptian mythology believed to embody the soul of Ra, the Supreme Sun God. This release set the tone for the brand, and subsequent collections were named after various gods from mythology, such as Tefnut and Atum.

Paying homage to 19th-century pocket watches, the movement of the Benu Index is meticulously finished, featuring brown-violet screws that harmonize with the overall aesthetic. Additionally, the hand-engraved balance cock adds a touch of artistry and can be admired through the sapphire caseback. Notably, in true German fashion, the calibre 100.1 is equipped with a hack seconds function, and the pusher positioned at 4 o'clock allows the seconds hand to resume motion after the crown is pulled, ensuring precise timekeeping.

With an annual production of approximately 200 watches, the Benu Index represents the pinnacle of watchmaking artistry and is a timeless masterpiece of sleek elegance. The dial itself is a testament to pure aesthetics, blending elements of classical beauty with a touch of modernity. Delicately chamfered hour markers replace traditional Arabic numerals, further enhancing the overall refined appeal of the timepiece.

Please note that the proceeds of the sale of the present watch will be given by the Consignor to various charities.
