Middle Eastern time pieces by Grieb & Benzinger

Boutique German watchmaker Grieb & Benzinger presents two new Middle East-inspired timepieces, the GREEN INSPIRATION for men and the PHAROS RASPBERRY for women. The boutique watch manufactory hailing from Germany’s Black Forest has crafted some of the rarest and most unique timepieces available in the world of watches today – and these two novelties are no exception.

Designed for men, the GREEN INSPIRATION comes in a solid platinum case with the typical Grieb & Benzinger hand-guilloché bezel and a black alligator strap with green stitching. The eye-catching, two-part dial is extraordinarily deep: EasternArabic numerals on the upper hour scale with green dots marking the hours combine with a handcrafted, guilloché, green-colored base dial whose colour changes ever so slightly as the sun’s rays touch it.

The ladies’ PHAROS RASPBERRY impresses with its raspberry coloured base dial that also shifts slightly when in certain lights and also features Eastern Arabic numerals. Complimented by an impressive solid white gold case set with 77 brilliant cut diamonds on the bezel and lugs (2.55 ct), the PHAROS RASPBERRY is a larger feminine piece, with a 43mm diameter. Topped off with the bright raspberry matching alligator skin strap, this creation is a real eye-catcher on the wrist.

Grieb & Benzinger specialises in taking movements and refurbishing them in their own unique style before housing them in solid platinum and other precious materials. The company’s small expert team manufactures a small number of Boutique pieces each year, and also has a special Platinum line consisting of bespoke one-off creations based on high value (and also often historic) movements from the grand masters of watchmaking.

Timepieces are presented to clients through a personal concierge service.
