Discover our craft, practiced by hand, from another time. One almost completely forgotten.
Watches and movements engraved, skeletonized and guilloché by hand form the base of our creation.
They show perfect functionality in individual handcrafted elegance.
Every Benzinger watch is hand-guilloché, hand-skeletonized and hand-engraved with the same tools as they used a hundred years ago!
All of the watches by Benzinger can be personalized with different engravings, skelets and guilloché.
Grieb & Benzinger chronographe rattrapante, regulateur
Patek Philippe for Tiffany&co movement from 1889
Unique timepiece
This Grieb & Benzinger is hand made with a Patek Philippe chronographe rattrapante movement from 1889, which was sold to Tiffany & co. in 1890. The movement is technically modified to get the regulateur indication. The more, all parts are either hand engraved, hand guilloché or hand skeletonized finished. The case is specially made to mesure for the movement with as well a hand made crown and pusher and hand guilloché bezel. It took Hermann Grieb and Jochen Benzinger more then 1000 hours of pure craftsmenship to finish this spectacular unique timepiece.

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 videos in the gallery) 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 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.
Christian

The gallery above shows you some different watches by Benzinger and what is possible to be made. Every watch can be personalized. Best is to contact me by the form below so that we can check together what type of watch you would like to buy.
We can create as well unique timepieces. As the following unique timepiece that I've designed for a client of mine. We used a vintage Patek Philippe pocket watch movement that was made for Tiffany & Co. We completely re-designed the movement and created an extraordinary unique watch for my client.
