Delivery update: Tantalum Torq v1

This is why the tantalum delivery has been delayed.

This is our first time working with tantalum, and it has been a genuinely challenging material for us to work with. We’re learning firsthand what it takes to get it right, especially with the bracelet construction. But that learning curve is my responsibility—not a reason for customers to accept anything less than a properly built watch.

We had already shipped a few watches when two customers reported that the bracelet pins were coming loose and slipping out of position. I stopped further shipments and brought back the watches we had already sent out.

After bringing one in for testing and identifying the issue, I decided to remake the entire batch with a redesigned bracelet using screws instead of pins. Not a temporary fix—a change to the construction to address the problem properly.

Meanwhile, I’m still getting criticized for the delays—even by people who haven’t ordered these watches. 😂 But I would rather take criticism for being late than knowingly deliver something that isn’t right.

To the customers who are waiting: I understand your frustration. You trusted us with your money, and you deserve an honest explanation and a watch you can wear with confidence. Thank you for your patience while we make this right.

The delay is my responsibility. So is the quality of every watch I send you. Working with a new material comes with lessons, but I won’t let those lessons become problems you’re left wearing on your wrist.

Flexible lugs

an additional feature for the thal will be flexible lugs, allowing the watch to hug your wrist better and reducing the effective L2L for smaller wristed folks.

Huge congratulations to all who have received their shipment for our Strange Quartz, and many thanks to the patience you all have demonstrated during the entire process.

Amongst the brilliant feedback we have received on the watch, we also have received a few queries about how to set the time etc. Belal has recorded a video to demonstrate the timesetting and the function of this piece.

OUR FIRST DIVE WATCH. YOUR DECISION. ⚪️🟠

For Grandeur’s first diving watch, we wanted to create something genuinely unexpected: a luminous tourbillon surrounded by a lume-infused carbon-fiber bezel and housed inside a crystallized titanium case.

Inside, the skeletonized movement features sandblasted bridges with contrasting rose-gold flanks—an original detail we believe has never been executed this way before.

Now we need your help choosing the final bezel:

⚪ Image 1: Orange lume with white numerals

Revolv remade!

so based on our last update, we had to go back the drawing board and remake a few key parts for the revolv. Well, we have just received them back and they are looking fine! We also used the time to re engineer the case back to shave another 1mm off the final thickness!.
Assembly will commence soon, stay tuned!

Torq v2 is official

The Torq V2 is officially launched.

We have since completed 200 deliveries of Titanium Torq, 100 forged carbon fiber, and in the process of delivering the lumed carbon.

Unfortunately our Tantalum models had an issue with the coating and we had to recall all to our factory for rework, but that is coming next, followed by Sapphire and lastly Ceramic.

We have listened to the feedback and introduced a few improvements to the v2:
Firstly the quick release straps, which we had to engineer from scratch as there was no available system in the market that can suit our case thickness (7.4mm).
We have also added a nice touch to the hands with ruby tips.
Bringing back the tantalum for one last limited run
and new finishes and coatings including a special forged carbon (in a different pattern of course)

As a PSA, we have seen many posts and comments asking to buy your v1s, while we are encouraged by the demand, we cannot vouch for the buyers (or the sellers) in the open market, and we encourage you all to do your due diligence especially with private sales on reddit. Moving forward we will be removing posts and comments of such nature from our platform.

Our v2 on the other hand, we totally stand by with a 2 year warranty (5 year warranty on our in house movements) and a guarantee to service your watch outside warranty (terms and fees apply depending on the work done). Now available on our website.

GPHG nominations accepted!

Today is one of the proudest moments in my journey as a watchmaker.

Five Grandeur watches have officially been accepted into the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) 2026. This is the largest number of watches we have ever had represented in a single edition of the world’s most prestigious watchmaking competition.

The five timepieces are:

• Grandeur Monocle Aureum
• Grandeur Janus
• Grandeur Tilt Sapphire
• TORQ Mechanical Tantalum
• Minute Repeater Noir Pulse RG

When I started Grandeur, people told me that creating original complications and competing with established brands was impossible. Every challenge only pushed us to innovate harder.

Seeing five of our creations standing on the GPHG stage is a reminder that passion, persistence, and believing in your vision can take you further than anyone expects.

This achievement belongs to everyone who believed in Grandeur—our customers, collectors, supporters, partners, and the incredible team working behind the scenes every day.

No matter what happens next, having five watches officially represented at GPHG is already an honor that we will never forget.

Thank you for believing in our dream.

Quick Release System for TORQ

Introducing the new Quick Release System for TORQ Mechanical and TORQ Quartz.

Developing this system was a major challenge, especially with watches as extremely thin as 6.4 mm and 7.4 mm. But our team accepted the challenge.

We listened to the community, worked on the solution, and engineered a quick release system specially designed for future TORQ Mechanical and TORQ Quartz releases.
