Some details of my project Benzinger by Zanella

Dear watch aficionado.

Herewith I would like to present you some details of my project Benzinger by Zanella.

Watches do meet art. For my project this means that every highly exclusive and unique timepiece Benzinger by Zanella contains an original painting (oil on canvas) made by Léon Zanella. The original painting of Léon Zanella functions as a dial and it can be chosen by the customer in the gallery of the different paintings made by Zanella here underneath. Every dial (painting oil on canvas) is a one off piece, so if a painting is once chosen, it is not available anymore (NO copy, NO reproduction)! The hour indexes are printed onto the sapphire crystal glas. Hands can be either Breguet hands or feuille hands; with or without small seconds. The movement can be finished as well in different styles, hand-engraved, hand-guilloché, hand-skeletonized (gallery below). The combination of the handmade timepieces by Benzinger and the original painting by Léon Zanella makes every watch unique and highly exclusive.

I warmly invite you to take a look at the website of my boutique for more infos about my project:

Watches of Knightsbridge auction July 2nd ----> some of my favorites

Dear watch aficionado.

With the upcoming sale on July 2nd in London, Watches of Knightsbridge managed again to build a sublime catalogue with great lots and a lot of lots, overall 582! Herewith I would like to present you some of my favorite timepieces offered at this nice sale.

I will start with this great Navitimer, Lot 37. I am a big fan of these early, all black beaded bezel, AOPA Navitimers, especially when they are in great condition as the present example and when they have a retailers signature in this case the signature of a former distributor form France UTI. WOK did put its estimate at 3800£ - 4800£.

 

I like these Seamasters when one can see that they have had a life, nicely patinated dial, nice case not over polished with some scratches and dents. Especially when they were military issued examples and still in great condition like the present P.A.F (Pakistan Air Forces). I think that this is a very honest and nice timepiece. WOK did put its estimate at 6500£ - 7500£, Lot 267.

These Omega dress watches are in my eyes completely underestimated, even when in sublime condition like the present example, excellent condition, rose gold case and black dial set with luminous indexes. The sub seconds hand seems to have been replaced, but in my eyes this is not a big issue for this nice example. A feast to the eyes of the true gentlemen collector. I really like this example because of its condition and set up. WOK did put its estimate at 1000£ - 1400£. Lot 339.

This is a nice and honest Rolex 6580 with red depth rating at 12 o'clock and Cartier signature at 6 o'clock. The dial looks to have some overall spottings and the lume evenly dark patinated. Some will say, that the dial is a disaster, but for me it is a honest watch aged over the years plus it has the much sought after retailer, Cartier signature and red depth rating at 12 o'clock, serial still present and the Cartier numbers as well present on the back side of the lug. WOK did its estimate at 4500£ - 5500£, Lot 457.

Big thanks to the team at Watches of Knightsbridge for the photos!
