Chronometers

We can proudly say that all our watches are produced by the German, Pforzheim-based watchmaker Jochen Benzinger – a well-acknowledged craftsman with a truly unique touch. Jochen Benzinger stands for exquisite materials, traditionally crafted and backed by many years of expertise in making timepieces.

Incorporating your Family Coat of Arms into these high-quality and exclusive chronometers will turn your watch into an item of jewelry truly unique in its nature. Whether it be made of a yellow, white, or rose gold interior with a leather or metal strap, we present you with a large variety of different models to specifically fit your preference. With your engraved coat of arms embedded in this fine work of craftsmanship, you enable yourself to form a tangible linkage with your family tradition unparalleled to the common wristwear.

Here is our Pro Heraldica Chronometer collection:

The Jochen Benzinger watch collection is designed and assembled in the master workshop for engravings and guilloché in Pforzheim, Germany.

Jochen Benzinger completed his engraving apprenticeship with the former headmaster of craftsmanship in Pforzheim and graduated with a sponsorship award from the foundation for gifted students. On his own and through the main support of some old guilloché specialists, he also taught himself the Guilloché technique, not taught in today’s professions anymore. In 1985, he took over the fifth-generation of the Kollmar company, which has embodied an excellent reputation as a guilloché workshop since 1857.

In recent years, Jochen Benzinger has specialized his rare skills in hand-engraved and hand-guilloché clocks and clockwork in accordance with customer’s requests and preferences.

As a result, he has broken away from the norms of modern watch and clock production methods through the use of tools and machinery over 100 years old.

Jochen Benzinger’s uniquely hand-finished watches and skeletonized timepieces tell stories from another time almost completely forgotten. As each watch is engraved, skeletonized, and guilloché by hand, Benzinger demonstrates his work of craftsmanship as a form of independent art. Jochen Benzinger sets himself apart from the norms of modern production, by utilizing historically meaningful machines and tools more than a century old in order to create true works of art. Hours upon hours pass by before his work has taken its characteristic form – a form that can only be achieved by a hand-created, one-of-a-kind piece.

The incorporation of fine materials, traditional craftsmanship and years of watchmaking expertise – that is what Jochen Benzinger stands for.

The fusion of your family coat of arms into these high-quality and exclusive watch models truly adds to the jewelry’s uniqueness.
