Georg Bartkowiak solid red gold watch in 2011

Jochen Benzinger is acknowledged as the leading specialist worldwide for hand-skeletonized timepieces and guilloché work. Watch movements are skeletonized, guilloché, hand-engraved, and even sometimes technically modified by hand in his workshop in a traditional manner using special historical machines and tools. This allows him to create his own typical style of horological art
The new models Regulator Pharos and Polaris are, however, distinctly masculine. Both watches are outfitted with a specially modified mechanical movement that was altered using self-manufactured components.
The new collection comes in solid red gold watch cases of contemporary design and perfect finish. The hand-guilloché bezel and the high gold content of the solid case bear witness to the substantial presence of these new watches

The hand-guilloché base dial crafted in solid Sterling silver shines with a white Breguet frosted finish, a finishing technique that is currently only in use by Jochen Benzinger. The functional skeletonized part of the dial is crafted in 18-karat red gold, as is the solid 43 mm case..

The new Benzinger Boutique models may even surprise connoisseurs of the high-end scene: up to this point, the Benzinger watches have mainly been masterpieces of movement decoration and skeletonization.
