Friends,

I'm not considering myself a follower of Independents nor have I been a great fan.

Last weekend though, we had the great opportunity to meet the horological brothers Groenefeld and admire some of their collection.

Before I get to the watch and my crown "problem", let me just say, those two guys are just super-cool and great fun to hang out with.

So coming to the Groenefeld Parallax Tourbillon. 




Love the look of the watch and the complication or rather "sophistication". And as I had the opportunity to play with it, I always try to set the time, wind it..just to feel the watch.



But then, that crown was really slippy and whatever I tried (no brute force of course), I could not pull it out. sad

So I asked Bart what's wrong here...and guess what, I had the laughs on my side.

It's a push-crown switching between winding and setting, no wonder I could not pull it biggrin

If i had the possibility (Financial 😬)to purchase a Parallax it would be this one Salmon dail 👌🏻🤤 . Although that black dail is a stunner to . Was real nice to play arround with these amazing watches imho

I believe unique piece. It is one of the most awesome Tourbillon. You should go for it.

I attended that precise moment when Bart told you about the crown that must be pushed and not pulled and saw your face ; what a pity I did not make a picture at that precise moment it would have been the pic of the year 😂🤣 I am still rofl 🤣🤣🤣 Don’t worry my friend nobody could have guessed either unless you have been told, it is so smart but unusual. Hagwe, Mike
