Description
Jaeger & Benzinger Edition 6 Blue
Jaeger & Benzinger’s stunning Edition 6 collection combines the beauty of classic ennobling with the skill of watchmaking to deliver a precision timepiece of lasting appeal.
Every element of this beautiful piece is truly hand-finished, from the guilloched dial to the engraved and ennobled movement.
The clean lines of the dial are enhanced by the brightness of the dial and freshness of the blue Roman numerals and flame-blued hands. Classic design elements such as the onion crown and polished case, frame the dial elegantly and add to the functionality and collectability of this piece.
The Dial:
With all Jaeger & Benzinger watches your eye is immediately drawn to the dial.
The aptly-named watch face is entirely hand-crafted, in-house, out of sterling silver. The dial is then hand-guilloched and engraved on historic rose engines by Jochen at a level of craftsmanship and skill that makes him one of the elite in the field of watch ennobling.
To finish the look and contrast against the rich dial, the hands are flame-blued and set to provide a striking contrast to the numerals.
The Case:
The Edition 6 is fitted in a 38mm, high-grade, polished/satinised stainless steel case made in Pforzheim, Germany and is teamed with a hand-crafted leather band featuring a quick-change spring bar system. Please note: there are several band options available and your selection can be finalised at the time of placing your order, based on available stock. This particular model boasts a super slim 8mm high case to ensure wearer comfort and subtlety on the wrist.
An added touch:
Even the packaging for Jaeger & Benzinger watches is hand-made in Germany, to the highest standards.
Kay Jaeger explains that the inner case, used to store the watch, can also be used as a travel case to protect your watch when you are on the move. It was designed exclusively for Jaeger & Benzinger by a small German specialty manufacturer of leather goods working to Kay’s specifications.
The outside material is made from sturdy, ox leather, while the inside is made from soft deer skin to provide optimal protection for its precious cargo. This case is entirely hand stitched and tanned, and is itself a small work of art.
The outer box, often a throw-away item, is also quite unique. It is made by a master, German book restorer who uses the same techniques to build Jaeger & Benzinger’s outer box that he uses to restore antique book covers. Another example of a fading art preserved by the boutique brand dedicated to bespoke, hand-made quality and design.
