A few words about Benziner watches

Benzinger creates unique watches which emphasize the individuality and style of each wearer. The customer's wishes are worked into the design, making each watch completely unique. The manufacturer retains almost-forgotten watchmaking techniques; the company is one of the few that still perfectly masters historical techniques like guilloché. Watches of this caliber are difficult to find anywhere else.

Jochen Benzinger (b. 1961) is from the German city of Pforzheim, known for its jewelry and watchmaking industry. There, he learned the art of engraving and taught himself how to guilloché. Since the 1980s, he's followed in the footsteps of famous engravers such as Peter Carl Fabergé. Jochen Benzinger is considered one of the best watch movement refiners in the world. He finished pieces for companies such as IWC and Chronoswiss.

Mr. Benzinger uses an 80-year-old and 500-kilogram machine to guilloché. The colossal tool is a hit at watch shows. Guilloché experienced its zenith of popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries; it was used to decorate jewelry, writing utensils, and many metal objects. Today, this craft is making a comeback in decorating mechanical watches.
