Allow me to elaborate
To commemorate its 10th anniversary, Moritz Grossmann released a number of bespoke watches of some of its models via a Christies online auction in New York. JLeno secured the Tefnut 36mm with an enamel dial while I succeeded in securing a Atum 37mm wristwatch / pocket watch set. The pocket watch was also bespoke dating back to 1874 and made by Moritz Grossmann himself!
The wristwatch was a mirror image of the pocket watch and actually measured 0.2mm larger!
The simplicity of the dial and the repositioning of the Moritz Grossmann name was a nice touch. The hands are something else!
No initials on the pocket watch which is great.
You are too modest!
This was not just any 36mm Tefnut but an enamel dial Tefnut to mark the 10th anniversary of the relaunched Moritz Grossmann brand. which was produced in a limited edition of one!! You take a great photo and I have not even worn mine yet (wound daily thoug...
Another lucky auction buyer!
Hi. jleno put me onto this chat. I am a MG collector, and I help them out with some marketing stuff too. I was presenting the Christie's auction collection for a few days in NYC in Dec 2018. Your piece was one of my favourites. Lockdown has forced me on l...
Thank you so much for the extensive information

To be honest
it remains the pride of my small collection. I love Pateks am looking forward to an incoming Gronefeld Remontoire and RW Smith but this bespoke set and the story behind how I secured it makes it a definite keeper. Thank you for your kind comments.
Thank you and agreed
Moritz Grossmann should consider doing this for all its watches!
Thank you very much!
I wind them both daily. Needless to say, the wristwatch keeps better time than its 146 year old ancestor!
I remember the whole story as if it was yesterday only
Through you I was participating to the auction and I think I was almost as happy as you when the D-day arrived and you finally got it. I am sure you remember the story in detail even better than me with all our pm’s and the gentleman who finally let you h...
Thanks Mike!
I am forever indebted to that gentleman because I doubt I would have been able to outbid him if he tried any harder. It makes me appreciate the watch so much more
I hope this gentleman reads us...
His attitude was simply that of a real gentleman, full of generosity to leave the way free for you. Honestly you were very lucky to have him on the way, i believe not many (if any ) would have done the same. I still dream of the having the opportunity to ...
Thank you Mike!
You keep safe and healthy too. I promise you that you will see the watch one day!
Auctions are nerve wracking
I was bidding on the green tourbillon, but it got away. Should have been bidding for BENU #1 instead. Would have got it, and would have owned an important piece of Glashütte history. 😔
That was one of the four watches I was targetting
The other two being the Grand Dame and the Tefnut 36 but at the end of the day, I decided to focus all my attention to the watch set.
What a shame, you should definitely give yours some wrist time!
It's too good looking to be a safe queen. A very nice set of hands on it as well!
Thanks for inviting me in
Great to finally say hello to another of the lucky owners from the Anniversary auction. I'm still kicking myself that I didn't get BENU #1. Coulda, shoulda. Grrr.
A big fan
Hands are in any way magic. Mostly i like three the most, but i am curious how 4 hands will be when i’ve got a gmt complication.
Sham and you got yourself a real treasure
And your photo is nicely captured 👍👏👏. Wear it in the best of health. Mike
