Perhaps my favorite new additions to my collection in 2020, and my favorite dial. Grönefeld 1941 Remontoire with a bespoke Kari Voutilainen dial. The strap is pretty cool too! ...  

Glad it brings so much pleasure, that is what the passion is all about!

Seems i missed out on this. Even my dealer advising me not to hunt now as prices inflated. May have to “settle” for a principia.

This is a watch that basically has everything going for it; GPHG recognition, unusual complication, unique finishing style, very limited production, kari dial, etc. Everyone seems to love the brand, and a number of people on WPS have a Gronefeld Remontoir... 

I have already come to terms with settling for a principia (since anyway, my zeitwerk has a remontoire). But your post made me go back to why i wanted the remontoire to begin with. It’s beautiful and it’s what the brothers are known for. So my compromise,... 

Same level of finishing, very nice gold rotor, some cool dial+strap choices, comes with a really beautiful winder as well. Can't go wrong with either!

Ordered my principia. Arriving april. Next year.

Surprising that the wait is so long, they must be in high demand!

This is my favorite version. Beautiful watch.

White gold ?

The dial is amazing! And tons of wrist presence without being flashy.

Never had any regrets with mine, and like you , I love this one to bits. ...  

Such a amazing and beautiful watch . Wear it in best of health. My 1941 says hi ...  

... the Remontoire with this blue Kari dial is probably my favorite iteration from all 👍

The dial, the movement, the case, the maker...simply stunning. An excellent choice you have made - enjoy this piece.
