Gronefeld & PSM little tour
Dear All,
About 2 weeks ago a small group of passionists was invited to a small exhibition that was part of a tour by 2 fellow Independents, Gronfeld & Peter Speake Marin to show off their latest collections.
For the Gronefeld brothers of Tim and Bart, this was their 1st trip to Singapore, and my 1st experience of handling their pieces, both the One Hertz and the GTM-06 in the metal.
The piece that really caught my eyes was naturally the One Hertz with it's patented Dead Beat seconds. I do believe that it has the largest dead beat seconds hand on the market currently, and that was ever built!
The jumping motion was simply mesmerising.
I'd like to share some shots of the evening, please enjoy!

WHat would later be the Platinum version, unfortunately this is a prototype which was housed in a WG case.
PSM's lineup
One for the Queen, special one off unique piece for the Queen's Jubilee. How British!
A companion to my own piece for the evening!

How were you able to resist...
..all that 'blue' and all that platinum? In fact: were you able to resist??? :-) Cheers, pplater.
Hah!
Pt 06 and Pt One Hertz ay? Perhaps, wishful thoughts though! Thanks for the well and positive wishes! Stephen
It was playing wonderland in my head i have to admit
BUT, and there's always a but, now that i'v become a Chronometrist, the One Hertz isnt exactly Chronometrically-correct! But if i had the extra extra funds, why not ;) Stephen
That is one line often said to me
But i do have to apologise, i'm not of the norm Keeping them strictly is my call, and something i am very proud of. STephen ...
