Considering a Moritz Grossmann Backpage Transparent

Feb 09, 2022,17:33 PM
 

Well, I think I’ve talked myself out of the Lange Terraluna (love the complications, I just think the watch is too big). I was also considering a Moritz Grossmann Backpage Transparent. Does anyone have any thoughts on this watch? I might be able to arrange to take a look at one at their Chicago AD.


Also, does anyone have any thoughts about Moritz Grossmann, or the Backpage, generally? Thanks!!!

I think most here will say MG watches are finished extremely well. MJ23 has a bunch of beautiful posts about his hamatic.

You might use the search bar above and look for hamatic and M Grossman.

At first I liked the novelty of the transparent, but the more I look at them side-by-side, the more I'm leaning toward the regular Backpage. Hmmmmmm........? ...  

I have a first edition platinum backpage and love it!

Not the most legible but those hands ... Finishing is a class above Lange. Some details at the level of the best independents. I think you will be very impressed when you see it in person. The rose gold is very charming, both versions. ...  

They make beautiful watches

And are off the “beaten path”, if it speaks to you in person I say go for it! You’ll probably be the only one in your circle to have one. The purple is a nice change from blue.

I think the backpage is finished to a slightly higher level than the standard Benus.

There's a bit more anglage in certain areas like around the recess for the ratchet wheel. Also, that black polished piece in the middle looks incredible. I have a Tefnut, my only watch and I've been very happy with it! ...

You can not go wrong with either option but........if i had to choose i would choose the backpage. Alternatively, going back to your prior option (the lange) here are some watches I think might be some good alternatives. ...  

Love MG!

I also considered the Backpage but ended up going for the simpler Central Second. They are superb watches with wonderful finishing. I love the innovation of the Backpage.

And the hands!

Forgot to mention the purple-ish hands are quite something.

Love what the brand is doing

At 41 mm with a very thin bezel. The lug to lug distance is 51 mm thick. I wonder if it would be a wearable dress watch, as opposed to more traditional offerings. I am a MG Central Second owner; as a daily wear casual watch, I think iMG makes a superb pr...  

oh finally a central second :)

never managed to see it live but was fascinated by it! the recent price increase is a bit ambitious but who knows...may be one day

A slightly better picture

In direct light, the opaline dial glows ...
