It’s almost half a year ago that Grönefeld’s Parallax Tourbillon was awarded “best tourbillon” in its class. For the Dutch brothers a good reason to launch the watch at Baselworld 2015, in a very limited edition of just 5 pieces in a platinum case that remained 43 mm x 12.5 mm.

To make the watch even more desirable, the dial was done in salmon. Salmon and platinum (or white gold), is a stunning combination that’s not seen that often. The dial is made in solid Sterling Silver 925, gold plated frosted surface, with diamond cut bevels. The hands are of course flame-blued and look just great with the salmon dial.

The dials of Grönefeld watches are always all about details and this limited edition may be even more, like the diamond cut bevels, the hours- minutes dial, power reserve indicator, setting-winding indicator and raised seconds dial to minimalize a parallax error.

On request there is even a diamond set pink gold version available.

For a more extended description of the watch, I refer to the introduction article about the Parallax Tourbillon, that you can find HERE.

Tim & Bart Grönefeld can be found at Baselworld (Halle 2.0 Stand C03).
