New portrait of Naomi Osaka that suggests her further growth and greater future.

Chosen as CITIZEN brand ambassador in August of 2018, Naomi adorned the CITIZEN Eco-Drive Blue-tooth at the US Open in New York last year, where she impressively claimed the women’s Grand Slam Singles victory.

The new watch model — which will appear at the 2019 Australian Open (January 14th to the 27th) — is a unisex CITIZEN Eco-Drive Bluetooth watch featuring the brand’s proprietary Super Titanium™*2 case, making it strong and lightweight as well as comfortable to wear.

Since the launch of the first model in 2012, CITIZEN Eco-Drive Bluetooth, with its beautifully crafted design, has captured a unique position in the market for smart watches. One outstanding reason is CITIZEN’s proprietary light-powered technology called Eco-Drive. This revolutionary technology frees wearers from the worry of having to replace the watch battery. The CITIZEN smartphone app also makes it convenient to sync correct times anywhere in the world, set alarms, and phone-search with intuitive operation.

With this, Grossmann Uhren GmbH officially announces it will not be taking part in Baselworld 2019.

Grossmann Uhren plans to expand the road show in the coming years to other cities.

Christine Hutter, founder and CEO of Grossmann Uhren GmbH, emphasises: ‘As a manufacturer of high-quality watches in a niche market, we increasingly see it as enriching to enter into more direct contact with retailers and also end customers. This is best achieved through personal relationships in their locations. This is why we are shifting our sales activities towards our customers and integrating our local partners more into communication. Our aim is to intensify individual, direct exchange on all levels’.

Invitations for the press conference in Dubai will be sent out shortly. The exact dates for the press events in Hong Kong and London will be announced by Grossmann Uhren in due course

On 11 November 2008, Christine Hutter founded Grossmann Uhren using the great name of the co-founder of the Glashütte watch industry and initiator of the German watchmaking school in Glashütte, Moritz Grossmann. Thus the legacy of the highly respected watch pioneer was revived after around 130 years. Today, the Moritz Grossmann brand manufactures mechanical timepieces to the highest standard of craftsmanship under the tagline “Schönstes deutsches Handwerk” – the most beautiful German craftsmanship - in a classic and at the same time modern design.

Inspired by the beauty and mysticism of the Orient, 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.

Golden Milanaise jewelled bracelet

The TEFNUT 1001 Nights is now available with an innovation — an elaborate Milanaise bracelet: it is made in white or 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.

Dial and hands

The black Roman numerals and the unmistakable lance-shaped Grossmann hands stand out harmoniously against the delicate line structure of the dial. The white or rose gold case gently widens from the crown to the 9 o’clock side. The bezel is set with 60 white diamonds. Two freely suspended lugs fixed to one side of the case easily pick up on the exciting asymmetry of the design. Like the crown, the lugs are graced with blue cabochons.
