Icon20 GRØNE Manueel One

Who ordered one today?

They really didn’t compromise on the aesthetics!

Hard for me to get excited about this one. Let us know your thoughts when it arrives?

It's nice looking but a little pricey for what it is IMO. What's the point of having a decorated movement with an enclosed case back? Lose the decoration and bring the price down more as far as I'm concerned. It will probably sell out quickly based on the people behind it.

It's a little more than an hour since the pre-order time of 3pm in the Netherlands opened.

The website has this reminder:



The seller would need to replace the watch especially in this case where production will be over subscribed perhaps.

Just sharing in the spirit of communication.

I passed on this release. There‘s just nothing I find special about it.

I am honestly very confused by this release. It’s seems like a perfectly fine watch but I don’t think Grönefeld has enough enthusiasm to justify an entry level spinoff. I’m really curious why they went this route.

nope not for me.

I like their Gronefeld watches but these cheap things are in fact way too expensive for what you get.

Like these from Kurono Tokyo
Again, his real high end pieces are top but Kurono is overpriced

If you want to spend 3-4 K go get yourself a Tudor, in that case you get a lot of watch for your money and not something that only gets attention cause it's name is associated with a top watchmaker

It's not for me, but I disagree with most of the comments.

I think there are plenty of people willing to pay 2,150 euro to get the Gronefeld aesthetic.
Don't have the same worries that you would wearing a $40k watch either. So, practical for more occasions.
