Independents

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.

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.

as you are saying that they are with  a sense of humor combined with the sense of sarcasm you have i can imagine the good times spent ,i said it before and again i will say it their watch IS timeless in my own opinion, and the movement finishing is amazing.

I don't know what I enjoy more; the watch or Bart's good humor and personality.  He was one of the watchmakers I most enjoyed meeting in Las Vegas.  I am now waiting to meet Tim!  Hopefully, one day!

The One Hertz in steel is awesome!  Of course, it houses my favorite complication (jump seconds) and I love the layered dial.  And what about the very modern and beautifully finished movement?  Awesome independent watchmakers + unique dial display + jump seconds + beautiful, compelling movement=one hell of a watch!!!

Thanks for the pictures, brother dear!

They are just loving what they do, and you can feel their enhtusiasm and passion, through these discussions.

Like you, this One Hertz was one of my big " Coup de coeur " in Vegas.

Between the concept, the design and the finish, I am sold to it.

One day, if I can afford it, I think I will get one.

I saw the brothers at a distance, but had to run -- regretted that I was not able to get together with them, as they are very cool!

Best,

Gary

As I spent a lot of time with them, during this SIHH.

A pity we couldn't meet!

Best,

Nicolas

Thanks for sharing!!!

Any more details about this beautiful watch? (maybe a review?)

Best.

René

It is a very interesting watch, my friend... Something I would have a lot of pleasure to include in my collection.

One day, maybe?

Best, and gracias para tus palabras!

Nicolas

I hope you get one for your beautiful collection

It's one of the most beautiful pieces of independent horlogerie I've seen.

Best.
