Gronefeld 1941 Principia Turquoise Dial SS Case PRINC-SS-TU

Founded by the Netherlands-based brothers Bart and Tim Gronefeld, their eponymous brand carries a legacy of watchmaking that dates back to 1912, bringing a wealth of expertise to each meticulously crafted timepiece. Combining contemporary aesthetics with classical mechanics, Gronefeld’s design language culminates in watches that are not merely timekeepers but wearable pieces of art. Offered here as a very testament to that is the exquisite Gronefeld 1941 Principia, a highly coveted collection launched in 2018 with the brand’s first automatic movement. This remarkable watch boasts a striking turquoise blue dial with applied indices and dark blue accents through its blued hands and dark blue chapter ring inscriptions along its dial periphery and within its sunken running seconds subdial at 6 o’clock, which is also framed using a polished ring, which interrupts the polished ring circling the middle of the main dial. Celebrating Gronefeld’s craftsmanship from outside to inside, the 1941 Principia features an exceptionally well-finished 226-piece movement on display behind its exhibition caseback that showcases the skills the brothers refined during their time at Renaud & Papi. Boasting a multi-faceted case with stepped lugs and a double-steped bezel, the 1941 Principia features aesthetic influences from the Art Deco movement and classical watchmaking, all while bringing modern watchmaking techniques to the fore. THE DIAL Featuring a turquoise blue dial, the 1941 Principia display features a solid blue colour across its entire surface with subtle accents such as dark blue and polished metal that add a gorgeous aesthetic point of differentiation. THE CONSTRUCTION Featuring a case in stainless steel, the 1941 Principia features an intensely elegant construction with its architectural lugs and domed bezel all being completed polished.
