Benzinger Black T

Collecting · · by Christian Bissener


Benzinger wristwatch with Roman numerals and open small seconds, displayed on a black box

The Benzinger Black T is a very discreet timepiece, in black and white.

Dial, movement and bridges are all guilloché, engraved and skeletonised by hand, a rarity today, and finished in black PVD, rhodium or original Breguet frost.

The sterling silver dial is in two parts:

  • the upper part has the original Breguet-frost finish, with minute indexes, open small seconds and an opening in the centre onto the hour wheel;
  • the lower part carries the hour indexes and is blackened.

The details reward a close look, as with all of Benzinger’s watches, and a watch like this takes hundreds of hours of pure craftsmanship to finish.

Like every Benzinger, the Black T can be personalised with initials, a coat of arms or almost anything that can be imagined, within limits. The case is also available in yellow, rose or white gold.
