For us as watchmaking company, it was most important to develop our own calibre. This new hand-wound movement offers an exceptional complication: A musical movement as in a music-box which plays a full melody "au passage de l'heure", i.e. every hour, and with has a power reserve of more than 24 hours. In order to store the enormous amount of energy to make this possible, a system with 3 barrels had to be developed which allows the winding of the three barrels as well as the setting of the hands by one single crown. The melody can also be played at any time at the simple push of a button.

To unveil the manufacture movement, we have opted for a dial made from tinted sapphire crystal. The magnificently finished hands underline the musical dimension of the watch by integrating a violin clef. The rehaut as well as a three-dimensional disc on the dial ensure perfect legibility of the hours and minutes.

The case of the watch perfectly unites the technical demands with a contemporary design language. The titanium midsection of the case combined with an innovative mounting of the rack of the musical movement produces an exceptional tone of the melody played.

To best meet the demands of the true aficionados of complicated watchmaking, the SERIE ZERO is produced in two specifications: Bicolour (titanium with a lunette in rose gold) or PVD-coated in black. The bracelet is of course real alligator leather and sports a titanium buckle.

Each of the two models is limited to 99 pieces

GRIEB & BENZINGER - White Dragon Pavé

 








 
Grieb & Benzinger - White Dragon Pavé


GRIEB & BENZINGER, the masters of skeletonized watches known for extraordinary horological creations, have now produced a unique piece together with one of the most prestigious watch shops in the world: MARCUS watch boutique, at home in London’s fine Bond Street. In the watch industry, MARCUS watch boutique is well-known as a hot spot for unusual collector’s watches of the kind that one would never even find in the glass cases of the world’s largest watch fair, BaselWorld.

The White Dragon Pavé fascinates the eye right from the first glance with an unusual dial whose center comprises a hand-skeletonized, hand-engraved and hand-guilloché dragon surrounded by 369 fine Top Wesselton diamonds set in pavé style. The bezel is set with the finest square-cut, Princess-style diamonds. The brilliance of these fascinating diamonds is hardly to be described with mere words, and in the sunny home of the collector lucky enough to call the White Dragon Pavé his or her own, the owner will probably need sunglasses when looking at it.

The movement visible through the sapphire crystal case back is –as can and should be expected – atypical GRIEB & BENZINGER work of art. One look shows how filigreed the saw and graver tool were utilized to create the visible art: guilloché, skeletonization, and engraving done by hand as far as the eye can see.

Housed in a solid 43 mm case crafted in 18-karat palladium-white gold, the White Dragon Pavé once again proves to be a priceless eye-catcher that confirms the exclusivity of the watches originating in GRIEB & BENZINGER’s workshops, standing out in a market flooded with mass luxury.

The meager amount of production of a maximum of 100 pieces per year, a result of the enormous technical range of manufacture accomplished by hand, makes these watches rare, exclusive and oh-so desirable for the collector.
