Black Ceramic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Timepiece and Stainless Steel Rolex Submariner Timepiece both on clear C-Rings on a White Background with Black Smoke.

 

As New Yorkers, we know that wearing all black is an absolute classic choice. Adding the right timepiece to your dark ensemble is the icing on the cake. Whether it’s a black dial, a black bezel, or a fully black timepiece, your wrist will look and feel luxurious. Perfect for fall, spooky season, and especially ideal for those who wear black daily, the right black timepiece can be a staple to your appearance.

People tend to gravitate toward black because of its striking appearance and versatility to be worn easily with any other color. Luxury black timepieces are sleek and low-key. They are flashy without being flashy.

Choosing a black watch can also open you up to alternative variations of materials, such as ceramic. The best part about black ceramic is its scratch resistance. According to one of Avi & Co.’s Sales Executives, watch aficionados love this material in a watch because you can wear it every day with any outfit. Ceramic also trades high in the market because they are so difficult to obtain. With the high demand, black carbon and black ceramic Richard Mille timepieces trade frequently at a relatively high price.

Let’s look at some of Avi & Co.’s classic timepieces:
