Future project: unique répétition minutes by Grieb & Benzinger

 

Dear watch aficionado.

Herewith I would like to show you a future project for a unique répétition minutes timepiece that will be build together with Grieb & Benzinger. To create this unique timepiece, a historical pocket watch movement from ca. 1890 (photos and video here underneath) will be taken and will completely be rebuild and redesigned by Hermann Grieb and Jochen Benzinger.



 

The design can be completely chosen by you. For example and inspiration I do show you here underneath another unique répétition minutes that we built a while ago.

  

 



 

The case would be a 44mm or 45mm case.

I warmly invite you to make your request on my mail info@watchcollector.lu

Kind regards.

Longines Calatrava, 1938 ----> rare black épargne dial

 

Dear watch aficionado.
 
Here a nice and rare example of a Longines Calatrava from 1938 in a 38mm 14kt yellow gold case and black épargne dial:
 
This example has a lovely and rarely seen black épargne dial made by Lemmerich. These dials were very complicated to be made and do add tremendous value. The examination of the dial shows that it is all original and correctly stamped on the back with the correct signs of how this dial was made back in the day.
 
I invite you as well to take a look at my site www.watchcollector.lu for the current offer of vintage and independent timepieces. 
 
Kind regards.
