Has anyone any experience with Moritz Grossmann?
The Benu Power Reserve has really caught my eyes but I am not sure how this watch would compare with ALS 1815 up down. I am more interested in the quality of the product, the level of service and aftercare and I guess the residual value.
It is an extremely rare watch in the UK with only one point of sale in the entire country.
Any first hand experience of the ownership or your views on the watch will be appreciated.
Many thanks

I'm also interested in this brand!
Hopefully we\'ll get some insight from our fellow enthusiasts!
Different movement architecture...
I have handled one of the Moritz Grossmann more basic pieces before in a boutique, but without the PR or the crown setting mechanism. They have a notably different aesthetic compared to what you'd find from Lange or the other Swiss brands, as they use cle...
I am yet to handle one
I will have the opportunity to do it in couple of weeks. Just going by the photos and write ups, I have become very interested as I do like perfectionism!
An excellent write-up for you to read, assuming you’ve not already done so.
Here. And if you’re into the style that Grossmann offers, take a look at Lang & Heyne too.
There's a very similar post on this Forum.
I think Bruno.M posted some time ago about his visit.
Ah…same person with a different name on the respective forums – who knew?
Not I, 'twould seem.
I happen to be wearing mine today.
No point-of-sale in the U.S. so I got mine from the dealer in London. As Skyeriding stated above, the MG is exquisitely finished. Between Lange and Grossmann it may come down to a coin toss. I love both brands. A very well-known watchmaker in NYC, who is ...
Looks really nice on the wrist but
I just had a PM from a member who did not wish to say anything negative about the brand publically. He described to me a very negative experience with regards to the service he received from MG. That has put a doubt in my mind now. As you have mentioned, ...
Yes, but bear in mind the experience you had with your Aquanaut.
Many other owners have had a completely different experience to yours – so whose does a third party put his faith in? In other words, take it on board and at face value, but don’t let it define things. Why not give them a call or send them an e-mail? See ...
Good point, thanks
Don't remind me of the aquanaut, it's like pouring salt on my wound!
a report I made after I visited them last year
www.watchprosite.com I really liked what I saw and between aa simple Lange, Patek, and some others I would pick the Grossmann
That was an exccellent report
Very in depth and in fact it was after that I started thinking about this brand and did more research
Lange all the way for me.
I find MG even more "Teutonic"and bland than Lange this days, plus that logo looks really cheap , they should change it. Mo
My observations and opinion
Both watches have well finished movements but the Benu has arguably a better finish with even more hand engravings than the Lange. Christine Hutter, the owner and CEO of Moritz Grossmann has many years of experience working at Lange and very much like Lau...
Thank you very much
For the in depth analysis and your personal experience/ opinion. I am glad we have people like you on this forum. 150 turns does sound a lot for 72 hours power. I shall take that into consideration.
You are most welcome!
After much experience owning some nice watches, I now try to keep not only those that I love (because I love too many!) but also those with the best accuracy, beauty of movement, resale value, rarity and feel good factor. Not many watches can satisfy all ...
