Catalogue Essay
Revived in 2008 from Glashütte Germany, the firm launched the inaugural model Benu, a reference to the resurrection of the immortal Bennu bird in ancient Egyptian mythology, and a symbol of the rebirth of the Moritz Grossmann manufacture.
The present Benu Backpage posits a challenge to the conventional architecture of a timepiece with its unique mirrored construction of the movement. What is normally seen from the back of a watch is proudly showcased on the blue semi-skeletonized dial. In the finest Glashütte tradition, the spectacular aesthetics of the mechanical movement can then be seen on the large dial aperture, with the most beautiful details such as the Grossmann balance, the hand-graved balance cock with stunning floral motifs, and the ratchet wheel with exquisite snailing prominently positioned on the left side of the dial. Once the watch is wound, the mechanical splendour of the oscillating balance wheel would not fail to leave the spectator in awe.
The stunning dial display on this watch is made possible by the in-house manual calibre 107.0, which manifests a reversal of direction in the mainspring barrel and the going train. The wheel train runs in the right direction in aid by the mirrored escapement and the mirrored oscillation system. On the back of the present Benu Backpage, a full German Silver plate with wide Glashütte ribbings, mounted with raised gold chatons and the signature transparent sapphire jewels, is displayed with the iconic Grossmann winder with pusher and stop seconds.
Numbered 5 of a limited series of 18 pieces, the present timepiece is offered in excellent condition, as well as accompanied with its full set of original accessories.
