Identity and Edition Status

This Moritz Grossmann wristwatch, catalogued under reference MG-002066, is designated as a Benu Tourbillon model dating to circa 2018. The auction listing describes it as a unique piece, noting: 'One-off piece in titanium.' and recording an 'Engraving 1 / 1.' The catalog records a 44.5 mm brushed titanium case paired with an 'Imitation alligator leather strap' in orange, matching the bright orange and grey colour scheme described in the essay.

Reported Movement and Case Controls

Visible case features include a brushed titanium case with a winding crown at 3 o'clock and an auxiliary pusher situated near 4 o'clock. The catalog identifies these functions as the 'Grossmann winding mechanism and pusher'. The movement is identified by the source as manual caliber 103.0. The listing reports a 'Flying three-minute tourbillon with screw-secured driving wheel and V-shaped balance bridge' as well as a 'second stop with a brush made of human hair to stop the balance.'

Dial Construction and Visible Architecture

The visible watch face displays a bright orange dial base flanked by two grey subsidiary dials situated at 9 and 3 o'clock, which the source describes as 'Orange, solid silver, three parts, grey hour and second'. A central minute hand features an extended opposite end designed to read an inverted scale above the tourbillon: 'The area between 25 and 30 minutes left by the tourbillon cut-out can be precisely read thanks to the extension of the minute hand on an opposite scale (patented).' Visible observation confirms a large circular tourbillon aperture at 6 o'clock housing a balance assembly beneath a V-shaped balance bridge.
