Grieb & Benzinger Blossom Black Tulip
At the request of a celebrity agent who was in search of a unique piece for their client, a US based pop star, Grieb & Benzinger has created an amazing one-of-a-kind skeleton timepiece - the Blossom Black Tulip.
Grieb & Benzinger's skeletonized timepieces require much of the work to be done by hand, with no more than 100 pieces produced per year, making them very rare. According to Grieb & Benzinger, the Blossom is the only skeletonized watch in the world that is fully skeletonized, engraved by hand and features guilloché work.
The Blossom Black Tulip comes in a 43 mm diameter 18k red gold case with a guilloché bezel and a black-colored skeletonized movement, even the otherwise red ruby jewel bearings have been blackened. Crown, hour, minutes and seconds hands in rose gold.
Considering the exclusivity, rareness and most importantly the amount of hand work that went into creating this horological work of art, I'm surprised the price is not higher.
