Dutch Watches


I was browsing some boards on watches and I came across Gronefeld and Klaauw, two of the best Dutch watchmakers in the market.  I particularly like the GTM model of Gronefeld which looks masculine, yet very elegant (shown above), and the Planetarium model of Klaauw, which shows the planets of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn orbiting around the sun (shown below with a beautiful blue alligator strap).  I would imagine that these timepieces are very expensive, as they are designed with a lot of technical precision, are made in either rose gold or platinum, and require so many hours of manual production!  Now be careful there... it's nice to look at, nice to behold, but if you drop it, it's considered sold!
