Benzinger Moser pocket watch

My own passion for watches began with a pocket watch inherited from my great-grandfather, and this Benzinger piece is something special. It holds a Moser pocket watch movement of the 1920s and is limited to 10 pieces.

The dial is hand guilloché, with a Korn-guilloché pattern for the main dial and a Strahlen-guilloché for the small seconds. Hours and minutes are moved towards 12 o’clock, and the dial has the original Breguet-frost finish, which is very difficult to apply. The hands are flame blued.

The case is in red gold, or yellow or white gold at the client’s choice, and finished entirely by hand. No CNC machine is used; the case is made as pocket watch cases were a hundred years ago, and on closer inspection it too is hand guilloché.

The movement is engraved, skeletonised and guilloché entirely by hand. The finish can also be chosen by the client, so each of the ten pieces can differ.

Benzinger watches can be ordered through Watch Collector – see Benzinger or get in touch.
