Benzinger – Zeitsprung II – Watch Collector

The Zeitsprung II is limited to 25 pieces. What makes it interesting is not only the design but also what lies under the dial. Jochen Benzinger located a limited number of extremely rare Kasper 1415 movements, made by Emil Kasper & Co in Pforzheim from 1911 into the 1970s. Benzinger and his master watchmaker transformed the movement into a jump hour, which required many modifications to the base calibre.

Three versions are shown:

Arabic hours and minutes, stainless steel case 40mm, hand-guilloché Strahlen dial
Roman hours, stainless steel case 40mm, hand-guilloché Korn dial with the original Breguet frost finish
Arabic hours, 750/000 gold case 40mm, hand-guilloché Strahlen dial with the original Breguet frost finish
