Pop Life... GRIEB & BENZINGER style!

You have to be pretty special to be sought out.  Think about this for a minute - Rolex, Patek, Omega - sure, plenty special, plenty well-known.  You see music stars with them in the ads, America's favorite pop star/love machine John M. is well known for his love of vintage time keepers.  So, okay, the big dogs are special.

But what if you are a small firm, making truly special watches somewhat under the "Rolling Stone/MTV" radar?

Enter GRIEB & BENZINGER!

As it happens, the agent of a well-known US based pop star wandered into the GRIEB & BENZINGER workshop and requested a special, one of a kind timepiece for their client.  And here is the result!

The Blossom Black Tulip!  No promo, no endorsement, no request for a freebie/discount.  Simply - this is what we want.  And frankly, you can't buy better publicity than that!

Here are the specs, straight from the source -
