Benzinger, custom made timepieces

Dear watch aficionado.

When it comes to personalization of a timepiece, Benzinger is the name to go with!

Because of his skills in hand-guilloché, hand-engraving and hand-skeletonization, he can easily create your personal and extraordinary masterpiece.

For his guilloché work, he uses 100 years old guilloché-machines! There is nothing with high tech software in these machines. The only things that gives the extraordinary results created by Benzinger are his long term experience, his talent and his skills.

Before a timepiece is made, Jochen Benzinger creates a design which is bespoke with the customer. For example I take a watch we created for the Fondatioun Kriibskrank Kanner in Luxembourg and a watch made by Benzinger for a german customer.

For the project of the Fondatioun Kriibskrank Kanner, we chose the logo to be skeletonized and engraved in the gear train bridge. The complete skelet is made as the mane of the lion, the mascot of the foundation.

For the project of the german customer, Jochen Benzinger chose the customers initials engraved and skeletonized in the train gear bridge. And, a rotor of an automatic movement for the coat of arms of Baden-Württemberg, hand-skeletonized, hand-guilloché and hand-engraved. This is a hand wound movement and so the rotor is without function but turns 360°!

Two examples of customized rotors with cars:

What can be made as well, as in the following "black Lizzard" timepiece, is to work with leather into the watch. In this case, the lower dial is applied with a special leather and the upper dial is made of rose gold.

Some more examples of custom-made timepieces:

"Water Tower", a customers special cottage applied on the full skeletonized mainplate in rose gold + the initials of the customer. Hand-engraved, hand-guilloché and hand-skeletonized

The rotor of the "Ritz" made as a roulette table
Hand-engraved, hand-guilloché and hand-skelet

The "Ritz", small seconds as a roulette table
+ the logo of the Ritz at 1 o'clock

The "Phoenix", the complete dial is hand-engraved with the phoenix motif
Hand-engraved, hand-guilloché and hand-skeletonized

The "coat of arms of the Netherlands", as the name says, the dial contains the coat of arms of the Netzerlands.
Hand-engraved, hand-guilloché and hand-skeletonized 

The "chinese dragon", the lower dial is made of natural mother-of-pearl, the dragon is applied on it.
Hand-skeletonized and hand-engraved + the bezel and lugs are set with diamonds

With this examples you can see that there are almost no limits of the personalization and that the customer can get his very own timepiece.

Kind regards.
