Indeed stunning watches from the great brothers...
Although it is a fantastic watch from the horological point of view, I am personally not too fond of the One Hertz, but the Remontoire is definitely my cup of tea, and with Kari's dials now it becomes even more attractive. Thanx for your beatiful pics, I'll post mine soon.
Best,

SIHH 2017 - Grönefeld
The Grönefeld brothers showed new dial versions and case metals of their award winning 1941 Remontoir and the Parallax tourbillon. Note that among others the 1941 Remontoir won the Best Mens Watch at the 2016 GPHG in November....
It is gorgeous
I just wish we could do without the dial text. One question - what are the period and direction of the movement of the wheel at 9 o\'clock? Best E.
The wheel is part of the Rementoire
It is non moving most of the time. But every 8 seconds, it quickly spins in a clockwise burst to recharge the rementoir spring Regards, skyeriding
Thanks a lot Don
That 1941 Remontoir is such an amazing watch, I think I would wear it upside down. I really also like what they did with the dials. GEO
The 1941 Remontoir is a stunner in all variants
but my heart goes for the crimson-grey dial version. Thanks for sharing!
Wow!
Excuse me while I clean the drool off my monitor. Those are spectacular. Great shots. I've followed the Remontoire for some time now, but the Parallax is something else too. Thank you. M4
Credit to Kari Voutilainen for those dials.
He is one of the few watchmakers who possesses the talent to create such beautiful rose turned art work. It\'s no wonder the Grönefeld brothers turned to Kari to supply their new dials.
Who needs big brands with these independents?
pure poetry, content,relevance, beauty, gravity. Bravo brothers!!! Mo
Well said Mo. And you are not the only one asking the question...
I believe offerings like the 1941 are making us all more discerning as buyers / collectors / enthusiasts. Cheers, my Friend.
Oh yes,those small guys need to put heart and soul into the PRODUCT!
if they want to sell or appeal the crowd,hence more content and relevance,opposed to the big brands driven almost exclusively(not always)by marketing strategy. A pleasure Michael. Disclaimer:when I said "small' I didn't mean the Gronefeld!!
I have been saying that for a few year.
The buying experience from the independents is nothing short of amazing. Long live the independents!
God bless Jerry.....
Isn't that right,and for whomever hasn't experienced that already,I advise to do so...life is short. Mo
Thank you Don! My take on the Gronefeld brothers latest offering...
Impressive pictures and impressive watches. Still I must say that I am not a big fan. For me it is as if the Gronefeld brothers are trying too hard. I sometimes get the same overload and get confused when looking at some other high end. It is as if all is...
Agree that these new options make a perfect watch even better
I met Tim and Bart at Basel last year when they debuted this piece, and I was instantly convinced of its merits. Its proportions look even better in person and it wears very nicely. Now, with these new dials, the only question is which one! Thanks for the...
Thanks Don. This brand sure has made a great impact in the watch world.
The 1941 is a timepiece that checks every box for me.

the finishing they do on their watches is just superb and second to none
i notice that KV is collaborating with many watch makers to provide his dials
