Benzinger unique – Mishal Kanoo

Not every unique Benzinger has a famous story behind it. Here the inspiration was the future owner himself. Mishal Kanoo is deputy chairman of the Kanoo Group, one of the largest independent family-owned groups of companies in the Gulf region. Alongside his role in the group’s development he cultivates his own interests, among them books, fast cars and mechanical watches, and Benzinger felt honoured to be chosen to design one of his collector pieces.

Mishal Kanoo chose a red gold three-quarter skeleton, which gave Benzinger the opportunity to show the Kanoo Group logo – a black palm tree on a blue background – on the dial.
