The Grönefeld Boutique
For those of you not familiar with the Grönefeld story, the craft of watchmaking has been in their family for nearly a hundred years, passed down from one generation to the next. Brothers Tim and Bart cemented their reputations as master watchmakers with the introduction of the Grönefeld GTM-06 Tourbillon Minute Repeater (pictured above in platinum), the most complicated wristwatch ever created in the Netherlands. Four years in the making the piece features a tourbillon movement with minute repeater complication.

Now the brothers have the distinct pleasure of introducing Holland to wristwatches from some of the most highly sought after, hand-crafted watch manufactures in the world, availably exclusively in the new Grönefeld Boutique. On offer for the first time are brands such as Sarpaneva, Kees Engelbarts, Speake-Marin, S.U.F. as well as Grönefeld’s own stunning range of watches.
