Grönefeld “One Hertz Dune” Red Gold Limited Edition
In 2010, Dutch watchmakers Tim and Bart Grönefeld presented “One Hertz”, the world’s first and only production wristwatch with independent dead seconds. Its first edition, the “One Hertz 1912” was consisted of 12 limited edition timepieces featuring stainless steel case.
Following the success of One Hertz 1912 edition, Grönefeld presents “One Hertz Dune” red gold in a limited edition of 20 pieces.
The One Hertz features Grönefeld’s own proprietary movement and indicates hours and minutes on a sub-dial at 2 o’clock; large sub-dial for the dead seconds; power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock; and an innovative setting-winding indicator at 3 o’clock. Setting-winding is ergonomically selected by pushing the crown in rather than pulling it out.
