Description

In the Netherlands, brothers Tim & Bart Grönefeld have been producing exceptional wristwatches with meaningful dedication to haute horology since 2009. Their flagship model is known as the 1941 – paying tribute to the year their father was born.


The Deltaworks is the brothers' first sports watch, a less formal and more robust model in their range of watches. The watch is named after the Dutch Delta Works, a massive water management project that helped protect the low lands of the Netherlands from flooding. This was the inspiration for the watch's water resistance and shock-absorbent properties, with the "1969" referencing Bart’s year of birth. The model is available with three different dial designs/colors, five different strap options, and finally, a choice of stainless steel inserts or color-coordinated FKM rubber-clad inserts on the 44.5mm case flanks.


Such is the popularity and desirability of the watches made by Tim & Bart Grönefeld that their order book is now closed, making this a rare opportunity to acquire one of their exceptional timepieces.


The stainless steel oscillating weight on this timepiece is decorated by hand and feature an 18kt solid gold segment. Includes Grönefeld box and warranty card.
