Gronefeld Principia Automatic spotted in Geneva.
Meeting the Gronefeld Brothers in Geneva during the SIHH is a good habit I have, for years, now. Not only they are very friendly, they also have some very good watches to look at. Last year, I could see the 8 seconds Remontoire and the Flying Tourbillon i...
The One Hertz is top, the Flying Tourbillon as well, and the Principia. It is among these three.
But I would say... This one: ...
Have to agree with you my friend 🤗
That Salmon dail on a Buffalo strap looks amazing 👌🏻😘 ...
I agree 101%
The Gronefeld salmon dials, with the blued hands and the dark blue antiqued straps, are Da Bomb! The case also fits the wrist very well, whether you have a big or small wrist.
I have a good friend who would be ready to kill for that one ! 😂🤣
And I am surprised that he did not chime in yet here 😉. Thank you Nico for this cool post, you know how I like the brothers and their watches 👍.
Lots to like about Grönefeld ..
The size, the finishing, even the crown looks good on this watch. The big bonus is no ugly date window !
Thanks for the report Nico.
I think you've made a convert of me, in regard to both the Principia > Remontoire and salmon dial > turquoise dial. Great pics, as usual. M4
I just looked up the meaning of "coup de coeur."
In English . . . "heart stroke." Haha. Now, I understand. M4
Spectacular case and movement design! Would love to own one some day... but I already have to fight to fulfill a dream with a Galet Micro-Rotor.
Would love to see a darkish dial which would fit the case perfectly for it's casual appearance. Also I'm quite interested to see a micro-rotor movement from Grönefeld. Jesus, why are there so few that produce such movements? What's the reason behind that?...
What I like most actually about the Principa
is the fact it comes with a Bernard Favre winder - the most beautiful winder ever as it is three dimensional! ...
The Bernard favre winder is the only winder I own
It is so quiet and the rechargeable battery works for 3 months plus on a 24 hour charge. Bernard Favre is based in Geneva and is a master craftsman. It is not the cheapest winder but arguably the best with nine different programmes. And it comes in a love...
Interesting...they are
They remind me somehow of the Richard Lange Pour Le Merite that has gone a bit ‘wild’.
