Grone Manueel One 'Sjef's One'

The GRØNE MANUEEL ONE - nicknamed 'Sjef's One' - is the brand's first timepiece. A manual winding mechanical watch, it is dedicated by the brothers to their father Sjef Grönefeld, along with the launch of the new brand, on November 5th.

It features a tremblage salmon dial at the centre surrounded by a two-step brushed rhodium-plated dial diamond-cut at every edge. Highly polished diamond-cut batons that serve as hour markers are individually hand-applied with an overhang at the tip that optically floats above the tremblage salmon centre - providing incredible depth and dimensionality to the dial. The applied metallic GRØNE logo has a 3-dimensional effect. The words "Oldenzaal”, ”Manueel" and “Netherlands” are printed coherently with the same vibrant shade of blue as the hands, adding to its charm.

The dial is then covered with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal that has an anti-reflective coating on both sides. The watch features a finished and decorated Swiss-made manual winding caliber SW210 that has been torque-adjusted to a ‘just right’ crown-winding feel that the brothers prefer. A hacking seconds mechanism is also featured on the watch.

At the periphery is engraved a Dutch saying: “ZOALS HET KLOKJE THUIS TIKT – TIKT HET NERGENS,” which translates to: "AS THE CLOCK TICKS AT HOME – IT TICKS AT ITS BEST" It is a reminder of the warmth and familiarity of home - both of the Grönefelds, and the wearer’s own home. The caseback serves as a design element as well as a narrative touchstone of one’s heritage and the essence of home.
