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 you choose 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 element of your unique personal style.

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 elegant without being too flashy.

No matter which materials you choose, the perfect black timepiece is sure to elevate your wardrobe whether you’re accessorizing a sleek streetwear look or elevating a stylish formal ensemble. From Audemars Piguet to Rolex to Patek Philippe, all of today’s most elite watchmakers offer chic black styles to bring that monochromatic flair back to your closet.

Let’s look at some of Avi & Co.’s classic timepieces in ever-stylish black...

 

Scratch-Resistant Black Ceramic Timepieces 

Choosing a black watch can also open you up to alternative variations of materials, such as ceramic or new-age innovations like Carbon TPT. These innovative substances are known for their scratch-resistant qualities and extreme durability. According to one of Avi & Co.’s Sales Executives, watch aficionados love ceramic features in a watch because you can wear it every day with any outfit. Ceramic also trades high in the market because these timepieces are so difficult to obtain. With the high demand, black carbon and black ceramic Richard Mille timepieces trade frequently at a relatively high price.

At Avi & Co., we have a variety of scratch-resistant watches available from many different luxury manufacturers. Here are some of our favorites that are currently in stock…
