With the TEFNUT Arabian Nights Milanaise, Moritz Grossmann has reached the pre-selection in the ladie‘s watch category 2019 at the “Oscar” of the watch industry. With the TEFNUT Arabian Nights Milanaise, the independent manufactory is pleased to be represented in the pre-selection of the renowned Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) for the second time in a row with a ladies‘ watch. In 2018, the young manufactory had already reached the pre-selection in this category with the TEFNUT Twist Classic.

Christine Hutter, Founder & CEO Moritz Grossmann, is delighted: “With the TEFNUT Arabian Nights Milanaise we have responded to the wish of many female watch lovers for a sophisticated movement mechanism. We have been observing this trend for several years now.

The TEFNUT Arabian Nights Milanaise combines beauty, mechanical know-how, craftsmanship and a great deal of passion for the art of watchmaking. We are proud that, after 2018, the jury has again selected a Moritz Grossmann model for the pre-selection in the ladies’ watch category at the Grand Prix in 2019, and we are looking forward to the outcome of the final awards ceremony in Geneva in November 2019.“
 

Scheherazade would certainly have fallen in love with the dazzlingly beautiful TEFNUT Arabian Nights Milanaise. This magnificent jewelled watch brings to life the tales of the Arabian Nights with radiant diamonds, handcrafted mother-of-pearl and an elaborate Milanaise bracelet.

Inspired by the beauty and mysticism of the Orient, designed by the artist Michael Koh, a watch with a magical aura has been created that unites the art of watchmaking with the art of jewellery to the highest level of perfection. The dial takes the observer into a mysterious nocturnal landscape of sand dunes with a moon shining above them. It is assembled elaborately by hand using the finest and precisely cut mother-of-pearl plates. Due to the varying colours of the mother-of-pearl, each image is a small unique specimen.

62 white brilliant-cut diamonds and a radiant, asymmetrical guilloche lend the dreamlike motif a sparkling frame.
 

The TEFNUT Arabian Nights comes with an elaborate Milanaise bracelet: it is made in rose gold to match the case and lends the watch its perfect elegance. Thanks to the ultra-fine workmanship, it gently nestles on the wrist and feels cool and airy on the skin even on hot days. The folding clasp can be variably adjusted and easily released

The black Roman numerals and the unmistakable Grossmann hands stand out harmoniously against the delicate line structure of the dial. The rose gold case has an asymmetrical curved shape and widens gently from the crown to the 9 o’clock side. The bezel is set with 62 white brilliant-cut diamonds. Two freely suspended bracelets, fixed to one side of the case, are decorated with blue cabochons like the crown, and easily pick up on the exciting asymmetry of the design

The TEFNUT Arabian Nights features the characteristic movement elements of the calibre 102.0: cantilevered balance cock with the Grossmann micrometer screw, raised gold chatons, a separately removable winder module, and the mass-optimised Grossmann balance. The sapphire crystal back on the back of the watch reveals the radiant high-artistic finish of the movement.
