Having soared the friendly skies as an aviator, Swiss watch designer Ernst Benz was aware of the need for accurate, instantly legible instruments while airborne. As a result, his expertise as an inventor led him to create an innovative aircraft instrument chronograph based on World War II aviator military models. Not only are his chronographs practical, they are sleek in design and fashionably opulent. The aesthetics of his intensely-detailed timepieces are highly regarded for their exceptional technical quality and superior precision.
