Ancient Chinese culture has inspired Ernst Benz to make the ChronoScope PEK. (PEK representing Beijing, or the old Peking.) The limited edition watch has a 47mm wide case and the dial is available in noir (black) or vermilion (red). 88 pieces of each color are to be made and an even more limited edition will be available of only 8 pieces in black PVD coated brushed steel. The dial has the Chinese pattern for fire and of course the numerals are Chinese characters. Notice the 8th hour marker is a different color. So why is the number 8 the theme in this watch? According to Chinese numerology, the number 8 brings wealth and prosperity. $TBA.
