The "Red Dot" is an international design competition that has been running more than 60 years. This year, the jury assessed over 6,000 pieces in 48 categories from 59 countries against strict design criteria. Only about 25% of the entries won an award. Moritz Grossmann won two.

The first "Red Dot Product Design 2018" award went to the BENU Tourbillon in white gold with a black dial. This is a limited edition of 10 pieces. The timepiece contains some unique features and complications. For example, there is a prominent flying three-minute tourbillon with a stop second device featuring human hair. The oversized 16mm V-shaped tourbillon carriage appears in a large aperture which cuts the minute dial between 25 and 35. A patented secondary minute scale compensates so that time can be read accurately at all times. Finally a guaiacum wood brake ring controls the sweep of the seconds hand.

The second award went to the ATUM Enamel in rose gold. Another limited edition - this time of 25 pieces it has an enamel dial which echoes the craftsmanship of early Glashütte. Crisply drawn scales and Roman numerals contrast against the white of the Grand Feu enamel. Features include a blue "XII" and watch hands that have been individually sculpted, by hand, in-house, and then annealed to a brown-violet hue which is Moritz Grossmann's signature.
Thanks.
