Moritz Grossmann unveiled two new Tremblage pieces featuring a dial with a deep shade of green - one in rose gold and another in white gold, each limited to eight pieces: Per their press release, the dial is formed out of German silver and worked by hand ...  

In this instance, I actually prefer the rose gold - green dial combo 😍. The movement itself is a tour-de-force in its own right.... Thanks for the pictures! Cheers, Filip

These are visually very nice watches. Love the green tremblage (putting that in the ideas book for the future). Also, this logo is so much more appealing to the eye than the other. Don’t know enough about the movement, nor have I looked close enough at it... 

Their movements are stunning in the flesh (their Tefnut): ...

The color and dial texture is amazing. Green usually goes well with red gold, but my preference is the white gold. Opinions vary wildly on this, but to me, this style of watch is best in a 38 or 39 mm case size. Thanks for sharing my friend! 🍻

They do curve downwards but I also would prefer a smaller diameter.🥂

But I really like these dials, my friend!🥂

...blue dial. red dial, green dial.

When they first released the Tremblage, it was for some anniversary of the brand. I wonder what the special occasion is, for these 2 new ones? It is also interesting to see WG case doesn't come with WG hands, maybe that explains the slightly lesser retail... 

If RG hands for RG case , why not WG hands for WG case? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Also...when creating a dial like this how are the numerals, logo and min/sec tracks formed? Are they "raised up" by the tremblage process itself? Or is there some initial process (cutting or stamping) that forms these features? They can't be applied...can... 

They are actually cut out of the dial’s base material before commencing the tremblage engraving process.🥂

Maybe I can find pictures or a video that shows the process. I really like the surface effect of tremblage. There's an independent (Russian maybe?) watchmaker that uses tremblage and the effect that I saw him create looked like tiny bubbles like you'd see...

Love the green dial and numerals. The movement is a feast for the eyes and very different visually than L and S or GO. I love it! The steel hands on WG case 'bug' me--because the price definitely does not reflect this--nor with the RG, which is a higher p... 

Like you and Jay, I much prefer this historic logo. My only guess on the use of steel is that white gold is ‘too delicate’ for these extremely thin hands???🤷

62,000 euro floating around

But the price seems like a big ask.

WG for me please...
