Grönefeld 8 Second Remontoire in Rose Gold with a blasted finished grey dial

The Grönefeld 1941 Remontoire represents a significant offering from the independent Dutch watchmakers, Bart and Tim Grönefeld, showcasing their commitment to traditional horological principles combined with contemporary execution. It stands as a testament to their family legacy in timekeeping, drawing inspiration from a church clock maintained by their ancestors. This model cemented the brand's reputation, earning the prestigious GPHG Men's Watch award in 2016. The timepiece features an in-house developed constant force mechanism, a remontoire d'égalité, visible at 9 o'clock on the dial. This system ensures a consistent supply of torque to the balance and escapement, rewinding every eight seconds to mitigate the diminishing force of the mainspring. The movement, caliber G-05, operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour and offers a power reserve of 36 hours. The case measures 39.5mm in diameter and 10.5mm in thickness, initially offered in white gold and rose gold, with later iterations including a stainless steel version. For collectors, the 1941 Remontoire is highly regarded for its technical sophistication and the brothers' meticulous hand-finishing, which is evident throughout the movement. The introduction of a stainless steel version with a guilloché dial crafted by Kari Voutilainen and an enamel inner circle by Ines Hamaguchi further enhanced its appeal, offering diverse aesthetic choices while maintaining its core mechanical integrity. It remains a sought-after piece among enthusiasts of independent watchmaking.
