Description
Grieb & Benzinger Vanquish Tourbillon Skeleton Remontoire Rose Gold
The superb Vanquish Collection brings to life the first serial movement by Grieb & Benzinger and realises a significant dream for company owners, Hermann Grieb and Jochen Benzinger, to establish themselves firmly within the prestigious world of fine watch restoration.
“The process to develop our own serial movement has taken many years of seemingly insurmountable hurdles, but we have achieved our goal and the task is now behind us. Vanquish represents an important milestone for us and will always hold a special place in our hearts.
The collection’s name mirrors this time period: VANQUISH. We took our inspiration from the great masters of the art of watchmaking and used this as our guideline, stimulation, and goal. The resulting tourbillon attests to the longevity and durability of quality and skilled craftsmanship.”
Hermann Grieb
The tourbillon with remontoire, improves rate precision by use of linear energy transmission to the gear train, along with the classic tourbillon. The movement features typical functions of vintage masterpieces: from the winding wheels with wolf’s teeth to double spring barrels, a classic lever escapement, and a free-sprung Breguet hairspring. The upper balance bearing displays an original pare-chute shock absorber designed Breguet. Quite simply it represents a victory over technology as well as a beautifully reinvented classic that will live on for generations to come.
The Vanquish Skeleton Tourbillon Remontoire Rose Gold comes in a massive, 18ct, engraved rose gold case and features a skeletonised silver dial affording visual access to the elegantly skeletonised tourbillon movement within.
Each piece is handmade, to order, in Germany and can be customised to a certain degree upon request. If you’d prefer a more individual piece, please contact us.
