Moritz Grossmann Benu And Atum Watches From Glashutte
Moritz Grossmann is a name you probably haven’t heard of before, which is a bit surprising given the lineage of the man the company is named for. Back in 1842, Herr Grossmann began a watchmaking apprenticeship, which he ended up completing early due to his talent. Over the next 13 years, he traveled around Europe (including a stop in La Chaux-de-Fonds), before coming back to Dresden in 1845. And this year, a new chapter in the legacy of Moritz Grossmann sees a new high-end German watch brand.In Dresden, Moritz’s good friend Adolph Lange (yes, the A. Lange) had established his facilities in Glashutte, and convinced Grossmann to stay in the area. Stay he did, creating things such as the Glashutte lathe, and various escapements and other movement improvements until his death in 1885. Grossmann is part of the history of German watchmaking and today his name is on the face of some gorgeous, wonderfully Germanic timepieces of a high pedigree.

Some guys want a vintage American muscle car, and others watch a plane with the same cojones. That was my first memory of a P-51, but to Nick and Giles English of Bremont, it means something else. The British aviation themed brand brings us a limited edition watch dedicated entirely to American and English superiority over the skies. What is the UK/US connection that makes the watch legitimate? The US sold many P-51s to England for use in the RAF (Royal Air Force). As such, the
