A well-timed visit to the horological brothers.
Been off this forum for a while; hope that all are well I’d messaged the Gronefeld’s back in November, to inquire if I can switch the strap on my 1941 Principia that’s on order. A long email thread ensued, during which I disclosed that I’d be visiting the...
wow, what an experience
what a watch! congrats all around, that is a unique life experience!
Wonderful experience
What a great experience and testament for the brand and owners. They are making some truly exceptional watches but it's nice to hear they're still very down to earth and enjoyable. This sentence really hit home as truth to me: "It was a stark contrast to ...
Huge Congrats with your second purchase from the amazing and super friendly brothers
You nailed it with why these indie brands are so amazing and great . Looking forward to see your new Gronefeld,s pics when possible. A factory tour will always makes the nwa a bit more special imho

First, GREAT to see you posting Hussam. Missed you brother!! Mahesh and another friend will be visiting the brothers end of this month as well...

What a special experience!
I’m sure this will be one you never forget. And massive congratulations on this amazing new piece of theirs! What an amazing day. You summarize very well a big part of the “why” when purchasing from an independent. The brothers are so fun and friendly, as...
Hussam, way to make us all jealous ! 😂
I joke of course, thank you for sharing what surely was a great day. It’s a different world for sure, versus the AD experience you reference. Glad you got to have this in person experience, although your wallet may be less happy for you ! LOL
