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... 

I have never seen so much material on Moritz Grossmann! You take great photos too and yes I did see my watches And by the way, welcome to the forum!!

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 wristw...  

No message body

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.

Moritz Grossmann should consider doing this for all its watches!

I wind them both daily. Needless to say, the wristwatch keeps better time than its 146 year old ancestor!

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... 

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

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 ... 

You keep safe and healthy too. I promise you that you will see the watch one day!

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. 😔

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.

It's too good looking to be a safe queen. A very nice set of hands on it as well!

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.

The purple hands are so nice

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.

And your photo is nicely captured 👍👏👏. Wear it in the best of health. Mike
