NEW GRØNE MANUEEL ONE: Tim's One and Bart's One

Two brothers cut from the same Manueel One family, but each with its own distinctive identity: one immensely technical and scholarly looking, with the other hopelessly romantic and warm at heart. The final iteration of Manueel One, available 8 May.

Priced at €2,150 (excluding VAT/duties/shipping) each

Oh man. I wish they would stop doing this. Just stick to what you’re good at.

I get why they are doing it, much more scalable than the main business and a good way to convert their brand into cash flow.

But I agree with you, and I think the designs are really bad compared to their normal product and compared to Kurono who has done it really well IMO.

I want to like them, but I just can't get on board with them.

I don't understand the hate. Tremblage, nice hands, a better case than most at the price point. They are transparent about the movement and sell it for <3000 USD. If it was branded Christopher Ward it would be called a bargain.

I'm impressed at the competition in the $2k to $5k region. Many choices are prioritized by our preferences. It's never been a better time to be an enthusiast of horology.

Isn't the salmon colored one in the pic the same one from last year?

Edit: Disregard, I just realized that the prior one was 2 toned.

I like these less expensive ones better than the expensive ones. They just look better in all ways.

It seems like a bargain for this good looking timepiece.
