Moritz Grossmann Tefnut 36mm Enamel Dial: A Unique Collector's Piece

Key Points from the Discussion

• The featured watch is a 36mm Moritz Grossmann Tefnut with an enamel dial, released as a unique limited edition to mark the brand's 10th anniversary. It was acquired by jleno through a Christie's online auction.
• Another collector, sham1, also secured a Moritz Grossmann Atum 37mm wristwatch/pocket watch set from the same Christie's auction. The pocket watch in the set is a bespoke piece dating back to 1874, made by Moritz Grossmann himself, with the wristwatch being a modern mirror image.
• The acquisition of jleno's watch involved a notable act of sportsmanship, where another bidder, described as a gentleman, chose not to overbid, allowing jleno to secure the unique piece.
• A Moritz Grossmann collector and marketing assistant, rdkyoung, was involved in presenting the Christie's auction collection in NYC and highlights jleno's watch as one of their favorites from the event, providing a link to further details and photos.
• Despite owning other prestigious watches like Pateks and having incoming pieces from Grönefeld and Roger W. Smith, the bespoke Moritz Grossmann set and its acquisition story make it a cherished 'definite keeper' for sham1.
• The modern Moritz Grossmann wristwatch keeps significantly better time than its 146-year-old ancestor pocket watch, both of which are wound daily by sham1.
• rdkyoung also shared their own bidding experience from the auction, expressing regret over missing out on a green tourbillon and the BENU #1, which they now consider an important piece of Glashütte history.
