So the brothers have build an automatic movement for the Remontoire case. My first reaction was “hey a 1815 from the Netherlands”. But after some more contemplation that is not a fair reaction. Purists would probably want a hand wound movement. Especially...  

but then I'm a big fan of time-only watches, large sub-seconds subdials, no-holes on the dial, and salmon-colored dials. They even a personal configurator for the watch on their website. Pretty cool.

And perhaps they will even do a bespoke guilloché dial later on?

As an alternative to the mainstream, I think this offers a great deal. though...if i am honest, the Rementoire calls the loudest to me

that the Gronefeld brothers make the most visually stunning movements in the market. My main question is how would this watch compare to Laurent Ferrier's Galet Micro Rotor which also has a stunning movement? I would have liked a slight smaller case but I... 

Although its a gorgeous watch i also think a micro rotor would fit this movement a bit better . Still i am deep in love with Remontoire with that stunning hand wound movement .

Bart emailed me last week to say they should have enough Remontoires until the end of next year so we have one year to save up for one!!

Hope to strap one on the wrist asap 😉🤗

For me as a independent watchlover its not even a issue , this watch above all others 🤗

I would like to see the rotor pierced if not a micro version.

Fantastic movement, I personally don't have a problem with the full rotor. But why the same case / dial as the remontoire? I know it is a small brand, limited resources etc but one has to stay creative on all fronts regardless. This should have been the b... 

Personally I'm happy they carried through the same case, because it's just superb. I've only seen a handful of the remontoire where I think the dial actually works (on some dials the cut-out just doesn't look right due to the difference / contrast beteeen... 

The Remontoire 1941 is a special piece and I would personally prefer two different Remontoires, one rose gold and another in white gold.

Especially the classic font they introduced now, it just looks stunning. This is my favourite configuration. ...

The combination of salmon dial and blued hands, combined with the blue strap and orange stitching, adds a colorful playfulness to the watch. And the SS price is less inaccessible than their earlier models. I agree that the watch could be just a tad smalle... 

I've been savings/thinking about a 1941, can't decide on dial config until I see some in person. I love the remontoire and the window on the front & the exquisite movement. This version is good looking and I have to consider it . At almost half the price ... 

A savvy move by the Gronefeld brothers to stick to a winning formula. An automatic time-only piece makes a lot of sense in fulfilling market demand. Personally I find the previous models a better representation of their horological expertise. Ken

Which opens for many new options from the brothers! Looking forward what this will bring in the future. Best Blomman

they would offer a time only (simpler) variant... looks sensational... anything from G is exceptionally special... I'm never bothered when an ultra high end manufacture goes 'auto'. A rotor is a nice place to express a brand's values, and this is a gorgeo...
