Following the BLACK TULIP SABUDHA and the GREEN INSPIRATION, the masters
of GRIEB & BENZINGER have created another custom-designed timepiece for one watch connoisseur in the Emirates: the PHAROS AL
ARAB IMPERIAL, inspired by the Arabian Sea.
Anyone who has ever visited the Arabian Sea has certainly fallen in love
with its clear water shimmering in various hues of blue and the sparkling spots
of sun beams dancing on the water’s surface. Even the iconic Burj al Arab has
painted its various hotel floors in shimmering blue tones, with the tinge of
turquoise reflecting the beauty of the water’s sapphire hues.
Paying tribute to this, one customer located in the
Emirates wished to acquire a glamorous watch
that plays with various shades of azure as well as the sparkling effect the sun
provides when it touches the surface of water. And these wishes were the GRIEB& BENZINGER workshop’s command!
The amazing result: the PHAROS AL ARAB
IMPERIAL comes in a solid 18K rose gold case with 66 Princess-cut diamonds set
in the bezel. This is a timepiece that catches the eye alone by virtue of its
amazing appearance: Arabic numerals on the regulator-style upper dial combine
with a handcrafted, guilloché, blue-coated base dial that changes color as sun
beams touch it. Sparkling royal Princess-cut diamonds cast their reflective
beams on the bezel.
The manually wound movement features a three-quarter plate and a blue
platinum coated base plate. All parts are decorated in typical GRIEB &BENZINGER manner, which also shows off its beauty from the back: hand-guilloché,
hand-skeletonization, and hand-engraving as far as the eye can see.
