Benzinger by Zanella – the first prototype

Benzinger by Zanella is a project I started to mark three years of my boutique. This is the first prototype we made.

Every watch contains an original, unique oil on canvas painting by Léon Zanella, and the movement is finished by Benzinger. Each watch is a unique piece and can be personalised. For every watch sold, 500 euros were pledged to an association in Luxembourg that supports children with cancer.
