I didn't expect to see thge Gronefeld Brothers between the Lange and the JLC booths, but it was a superb surprise.

Not only because these 2 gentlemen becomed friends, but also because of their sense of humour, and, of course, because of their watch, the One Hertz.

Since the IGOTT II in Vegas, and my first meeting with the watch and its creators, I have this watch in my mind.

The Seconde Morte is top cool, the design of the dial very fresh, young, and inspired, and the finish / dcoration of the movement is candy for the eyes.

Thanks to them to have let my play with the watch for several hours. It was a ... Dangerous experience.

Isn't Bart a Devil?

A World first... The Zen Shots:

When you love the dial as much as the case back, yes, you can say it is a very dangerous ( evilishly tempting ) watch.

Best, and thanks to the Gronefeld for these funny and excellent moments.
