I admire what they’ve done here: original dial layout and quite impressive movement.
Even better with the Tantalum case 👍
But i have a weak heart for the brand and the people behind it 🙏🏻🤷🏻♂️.
So which is your favourite from this brand?
but the dealer was hard to deal with.
I admire the discipline in this design. That muted grey dial with the lighter sub-counters it's not trying to shout at you. The Gronefeld brothers have always understood that haute horlogerie doesn't need to announce itself. What strikes me is the strap that blue-grey fish-scale weave is a beautiful detail. It adds character without overwhelming the watch. And the tantalum case that Goh mentioned? Now that's a variant worth seeking out. Not every watch needs to be a favorite to be appreciated. T
