Now these talented craftsmen produce stunning luxury watches based on vintage complex mechanisms of 1880-1920 gg. They completely restore old models and ennoble them with classical technologies, such as hand- skeletonization, hand-guilloché and hand-engraving, as well as flame bluing of parts. The Grieb & Benzinger’s workshop is equipped with special technologies and ancient instruments resembling the technical museum, where complex mechanisms are transformed into exclusive pieces. All designer watches created by this company are truly works of art.

No doubt, with this secret color of success, it will become a new status symbol of the owner, like an almighty black credit card or a posh black limousine. The Pharos Centurion Imperial model comes in a round-shaped solid, totally blackened PD950 palladium case that measures 43 millimeters in diameter. It perfectly looks with a black alligator leather strap and an eye-catching expressive bezel completely set with 66 Princess-cut diamonds that are also black.
