Description
Moritz Grossmann BENU 37 Arabic White Gold
Reference: MG-001859
The compacter BENU version exhibits harmoniously balanced proportions. While the case is inspired by the original, the upbeat, vibrantly styled numerals add a touch of ebullience. They endow the 37 Arabic with dynamic appeal and elegance, accentuated by reminiscences of the swing era.
For the 37-millimetre case, the characteristic BENU hands were scaled down proportionally. Through the display back, the watch enthusiast can admire the balanced composition of the calibre 102.1 featuring the High-Artistic finish. The 37 Arabic, 37 Roman, TEFNUT 36, and TEFNUT Twist constitute an exquisite collection of interesting timepieces in universally appealing formats.
