AT RM 175,000, THIS IS NOT THE CHEAPEST WATCH AROUND BUT IT IS BY A TOP BRAND AND LIMITED EDITION SO THINK ABOUT IT!
Grieb & Benzinger presents a Special Edition “St. George”, Russia’s
Patron Saint to protect the Olympic games in Sochi.
Russian watch
enthusiasts have long been loyal clients of German luxury watch workshop GRIEB & BENZINGER. Thus, these masters of the skeletonized watch have
created something special for them just in time for the Olympic winter games in Sochi 2014: a special “St. George” model.
Saint George, the
patron saint of Russia, who can be seen in the center of the double-eagle
breast plate of the national coat of arms, was skeletonized and engraved by
hand right into the movement in typical GRIEB & BENZINGER fashion. Looking
closely, the fine details of St. George riding high on his steed defeating the
dragon with his lance, can be recognized even without a loupe, fascinating in
its fine, handcrafted perfection.
It is so unmistakable, in fact, that GRIEB
& BENZINGER’s usual, meticulous two-tone, two-part, hand-guilloché,
regulator-style dial is almost relegated to the background. A very special
element of this watch is the dial cutaway positioned at 6 o’clock, which
reveals a view of the blue platinum-coated base plate, a detail that was
borrowed for this special edition from the brand’s exclusive PLATINUM line.
The “St.
George” special edition model will be produced in a very limited
edition of 7 pieces housed in 18-karat palladium white gold case with the
characteristic hand-guilloché bezel on alligator strap.
