In addition, a selection of 24 unique pieces by Moritz Grossmann, in celebration of the brands 10th anniversary.
The Moritz Grossmann 10th anniversary collection aims to celebrate its history by including pieces that require a diverse range of skills from its master watchmakers. Founded in November 2008, Christine Hutter established Grossmann Uhren using the distinguished name of the eminent watchmaker of Glashütte, Moritz Grossmann. In doing so, she ensured that the legacy of the celebrated watch pioneer was revived after its more than a century of successful business. The 24 pieces included in the Christies auction showcase the best of Moritz Grossmanns past, present and future. Highlights from the Moritz Grossmann capsule include BENU No 1, the first timepiece produced after the brands revival (estimate: $12,000-18,000). Another very special lot is the original, rose gold Moritz Grossmann ladies pocket watch, manufactured around 1875, which will be sold as a set together with the ATUM 37 Hommage wristwatch that pays homage to the early design (estimate: $20,000-30,000). Additional pieces include the BENU Tourbillon Orange Titanium with an ultra-light case made of brushed titanium (estimate: $60,000-100,000) the TEFNUT Grand Dame, which was specially handcrafted according to the design of an original Moritz Grossmann ladies pocket watch from the 19th century (estimate: $8,000-12,000) and an original Moritz Grossmann mens Pocket Watch encased in a gold savonette case (estimate: $3,000-5,000).
The Christies Watches Online: Winter Holiday Sale (November 27 December 10) will occur concurrently to the live auction, An Evening of Exceptional Watches, which will take place on December 6th at 6pm.
