I would imagine everyone on this list knows what I mean by "bench lathe", namely the split bed ultra precision type (watchmaker lathes on steroids).
Off the top of my head Sloan & Chace, though you might not know it except by looking at this page (instead of the main page, drawings leave something to be desired):

I've seen a few others in my travels, even saw a teeny tiny watchmaker's lathe that did (and I don't mean something like a Unimat 3 (don't laugh - and I have seen at least one watch guy who made use of one, besides other more *orthodox* stuff), but a real WW lathe.
