Germany’s Grieb & Benzinger’s latest creation, the Pharos Centurion Imperial, is an impressive status symbol in black with a six-figure price tag to match.
The latest watch from tis Pharos collection exudes glamour yet has understated luxury, with its cool black look topped off by an eye-catching pavé-set bezel with 66 black Princess-cut diamonds.
The totally blackened manually wound movement with its signature three-quarter-plate is decorated in typical Grieb & Benzinger manner, particularly exhibiting its beauty from the back with hand-guilloché, hand-skeletonisation and hand-engraving as far as the eye can see.
The timepiece has a solid, blackened palladium case, 43 mm in diameter, and a black alligator-skin strap.
“Black has always been a fashionable colour. It exudes confidence and elegance. One might say it is also the secret colour of success,” says a spokesman for the boutique watch manufacturer. “A platinum dress watch on a shiny black strap, a luxurious limousine, the magic black credit card, all are understated even though they remain obvious status symbols.”
He continues: “Like every Grieb & Benzinger creation, these watches are exceedingly rare; your neighbour isn’t likely to have one on his wrist. The price tag for this black beauty, which is in the six-digit range, will ensure the natural selection of its owner – probably someone with a lot of ‘black’ in his possession already, like a certain credit card!”
