SUMMARY

The German watchmaker Jochen Bezinger creates bespoke and intricate creations through his eponymous brand. This Open Engine example features detailed guilloche using traditional engine turning techniques, which are further highlighted by the skeletonized dial. The time is displayed in two smaller sub-dials - one for hours and minutes, and another to display seconds. On the watch’s underside, a large sapphire crystal offers an uninterrupted view of the manually-wound calibre and its myriad of eye-catching guilloche patterns. The 42mm stainless steel case is given a stealthy aesthetic thanks to its PVD coating and is suitably paired with a black alligator strap.

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.

Any watch not covered by a current sales or service warranty should be considered as potentially requiring a service, even if in full working order on the date of purchase.
