Jaeger & Benzinger Rhodiumn Dial
Hello, I was fortunate to see this watch today in person and wanted to share a photo. Jaeger & Benzinger rhodiumn dial, having come a long way to the US from the small village of Baden-Baden, in the Black Forest... regretfully I didn't capture the nicely engraved movement. Please let me know your thoughts on this watch and if you have good experience with B&R. Also, hello as this is my first post

First of all congratulations on your Jaeger & Benzinger a very elegant watch.
Second welcome to the forum. We are all interested to know the path that took you to this watch and what other watches live in your collection. Have a great weekend. Bill PS the strap very nicely compliments the dial.
Thank you, Bill
I should clarify the watch is not mine, but I am seriously tempted. Agree with you about the strap, the gray tones really suit the textured silver dial

Hi, welcome here, Alle. A pleasure to have you on board.

Thank you, Nicolas
No movement picture, but it was a nicely engraved 3 quarters plate, but for me the dial was more captivating
A big welcome to the Forum!
I have been playing with the idea of getting a J&B for over a year, and just haven't done it. I like the black dials but the one you pictured is terrific-looking. My understanding is that Benziger has a phenomenal reputation for engraving and his watc...

Hi Alle and welcome!!!
I know nothing about Jaeger and Benzinger... I am assuming from the location it is a different partnership than Grieb & Benzinger? I have a G&B and it is a fantastic watch, great service and I am sure if Jochen is involved it is a wonderful finish...
Thanks, Andrew
I believe it is a newer partnership, with a lower entry point than G & B which are truly amazing. Once I have the watch in possession I will post more photos
Just a quick update
The watch arrived but sadly with a screw loose and caught in the balance no less, please see attached photo... I believe it is the same screw that holds the movement to the case, an important screw. I love the watch but not in its present condition so bac...
