The Benzinger classic, the timepiece that collectors all over the world have loved for years, is the skeletonized watch. In a red gold case it is clearly even more valuable and more impressive than ever.
The new collection comes in solid red gold watch cases of contemporary design and perfect finish. The hand-guilloché bezel and the high gold content of the solid case bear witness to the substantial presence of these new watches.
A view through the new skeletonized timepiece New Blossom shows exactly how filigreed Jochen Benzinger works with his saw and graver to created a romantic floral work of art by hand. It is obvious that the New Blossom model, housed in a 43 mm case, is not only for men, but also destined to grace the wrist of the modern woman.
Jochen Benzinger is acknowledged as the leading specialist worldwide for hand-skeletonized timepieces and guilloché work. Watch movements are skeletonized, guilloché, hand-engraved, and even sometimes technically modified by hand in his workshop in a traditional manner using special historical machines and tools. This allows him to create his own typical style of horological art.
The new models Regulator Pharos and Polaris are, however, distinctly masculine. Both watches are outfitted with a specially modified mechanical movement that was altered using self-manufactured components.
There has never been a regulator that has arranged its hour and minute hands in just this way, and thus it would be very interesting to observe the watch without its dial in order to view the elaborate design of the regulator display. That, however, would be a shame, for this dial comprising various parts decorated in typical Benzinger style is also a work of art that captures the eye. The hand-guilloché base dial crafted in solid Sterling silver shines with a white Breguet frosted finish, a finishing technique that is currently only in use by Jochen Benzinger. The functional skeletonized part of the dial is crafted in 18-karat red gold, as is the solid 43 mm case.
Jochen Benzinger, Hermann Grieb and Georg Bartkowiak, makers of the high-end luxury label Grieb & Benzinger Platinum begin the year 2011 with exceptional new eye-catchers from their second line, Benzinger Boutique.
