Benzinger Zeitsprung, a jumping hour on a Kasper movement

Collecting · · by Christian Bissener

The Zeitsprung is one of my favourite Benzinger timepieces. It was a limited series of only 25 pieces, built on a rare Kasper movement from the late 1960s in a 40 mm case. The movement was modified to a jumping hour mechanism and finished completely by hand: engraved, skeletonised and guilloché.

The dial is a feast for the eyes, with hand-made guilloché and an original Breguet frost finish. The series is sold out.
