A source of both intrinsic value and of heritage, these magnificent silver coins form part of the cultural legacy of Switzerland. After 1968, coins ceased to be struck from silver, as the value of the metal exceeded the value of the coin itself. However, many Swiss families have kept hold of old silver coins with the intention of passing them on to future generations.
Alex Benlo has been able to conserve the value and uniqueness of these old silver coins by leaving them intact within the setting of its timepieces. By simply piercing them to fit the hands, Alex Benlo has been able to turn your watch into a safe deposit box, protecting a symbolic piece of Swiss heritage.
