Offered in excellent overall condition, the present Grönefeld 1941 Principia Automatic is a great illustration of how classic craftsmanship and contemporary design can coexist harmoniously. This reference, which is now discontinued, has grown to be one of the Grönefeld brothers' most sought-after models thanks to its superb finishing and sophisticated appearance.
The model, which comes with a range of solid sterling silver dials, is kept in the sophisticated 1941 case, which bears the name of the year that the Grönefeld brothers' father, Sjef Grönefeld, was born. The finely hand-finished movement, which is characterized by stainless steel bridges and a striking 22K solid gold oscillating weight, is visible through the sapphire crystal caseback.
The brand, which was started by Dutch brothers Bart and Tim Grönefeld, is a part of the new generation of artisanal watchmakers that came into being in the late 1990s and were committed to making timepieces that were hand-finished and hand-assembled. Every movement is finished by hand, and the exceptional degree of artistry and manual labor that goes into each Grönefeld creation is proudly attested to by a gold plate engraved with its unique number.
