The Jaeger \u0026amp; Benzinger Edition 6 Moiré Arabic Black Case fully belongs to this category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial with a hand-crafted guilloché with a moiré pattern – an optical phenomenon created by overlapping two regular grids, which creates a vibrant, undulating surface. No machine can reproduce this pattern perfectly twice; each dial bears the mark of the engraver's hand. The italicized Arabic numerals are inspired by the typography of historical German watchmaking books – a detail that gives the model a conscious historical context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe black PVD case (38 mm, only 8 mm thick) is a deliberate choice: it contrasts with the guilloché dial and gives the whole a look of dark elegance. Hand-polished Breguet hands with blue flame-blued tips complete the visual unity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sapphire crystal case back reveals what Jaeger \u0026amp; Benzinger insists on as much as the dial: a hand-engraved movement. The bridges and plates are individually decorated – Côtes de Genève, perlage, hand-beveled edges. All this to an extent that is reserved for watches in the tens of thousands of euros in Swiss manufactures.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"lRu31\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Edition 6 is powered by a Swiss manual movement AS 1130 – a vintage caliber from the Swiss manufacture A. Schild, which was produced in the second half of the twentieth century and is now a sought-after base for high-end watchmaking. The age and character of the movement are part of the Jaeger \u0026amp; Benzinger philosophy: it is not a modern COSC-certified caliber, but a mechanism with a history that undergoes complete restoration, decoration, and individualization under the hands of Jochen Benzinger. The bridges and plates are hand-engraved, the balance cock is engraved and gilded, the screws are flame-blued, and the main plate is decorated with perlage. The three-quarter plate – characteristic of the Saxon and East German watchmaking school tradition – covers the movement as a single unit and gives it a visual unity that is missing in modern movements with separate bridges. The result is a view of the case back that does not have to be ashamed when compared to manufactures ten times the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA. Schild S.A., founded by Adolphe Schild in 1896 in Grenchen, was a leading manufacturer of watch movements for over 80 years until the brand's acquisition in 1978.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38 mm steel.

Guilloché – engraving fine geometric patterns onto a metal surface using a rose engine or other specialized machine – is a skill that has been passed down through direct apprenticeship for centuries and is now mastered by only a handful of people worldwide. Benzinger has been dedicated to it for over thirty years, and his work is so recognized that his is one of the few workshops outside of Breguet allowed to use the designation \"Breguet frosted dial\" for its characteristic frosted dial surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis business partner is Kay Jaeger – a watch collector and consultant with over thirty years of experience, founder of the alternative watch fair Manufakturmesse in Mannheim. Together they form a brand that works exclusively to order: each watch is assembled for a specific customer, accompanied by a handwritten warranty certificate and personal correspondence. This is not marketing – it is a way of working that has no other option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jaeger \u0026 Benzinger","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":57930154279260,"sku":"MPS-WATCH-JB-E6-GMDLC","price":146750.0,"currency_code":"CZK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/5479\/2540\/files\/Ed6_GrauMoire_4.jpg?v=1781056277","url":"https:\/\/www.infinitywatches.cz\/en\/products\/habring-x-benzinger-jorge-kopie","provider":"INFINITY Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
