The BENU series marks the beginning of a new era for the Moritz Grossmann brand. It embodies the DNA of the Glashütte manufacture: schönstes deutsches Handwerk. The enamelled dial of the ENAMEL ROMAN is a further homage to artisanship in the days of old. Although traces of the art of enamelling can be found across millennia of art history, only very few masters of the discipline are capable — today as in the past — of creating immaculate enamelwork.
Manually crafted, lance-shaped hands add quintessential class to its overall personality. Despite its understated looks, it epitomises traditional craftsmanship and latest-generation engineering prowess.
