Benzinger Black T – the presentation set

Collecting · · by Christian Bissener


Benzinger wristwatch with Roman numerals and open small seconds, close view on a black leather display box

The Black T by Benzinger is a very discreet watch. Its dial is hand-guilloché in black and original Breguet frost. The small seconds are opened out at 6 o’clock, with a view of the finished movement, and the dial is also opened in the centre to show the hand-guilloché hours wheel.

The movement is guilloché, engraved and skeletonised entirely by hand. The main plate is finished in black PVD, while the train bridge, the barrel bridge and the balance cock are rhodium-plated. Benzinger’s watches are all handcrafted, and watches finished to this level of hand work are hard to find today.
