The Remontoir 1941 is certainly one of the most exciting pieces to come out of The Horological Brothers’ (Tim and Bart Grönefeld) Oldenzaal ateliers. Launched in 2016 and winning the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (the equivalent of the Oscars for watches) the same year, the Remontoire 1941 devised by the brothers is inspired by a clock found in the church tower of their native city of Oldenzaal in the Netherlands, which was maintained and serviced by their grandfather and father who were both watchmakers. The remontoire mechanism, which was first seen in a wristwatch in the Journe Tourbillon à Remontoire d’Egalité, is a complex constant force mechanism rarely seen that allows the force driven by the mainspring to remain constant throughout the complete power reserve of the watch without loss of amplitude at the end of the power reserve.
From the mainspring being fully wound to the last minute of the 35 hours of power reserve, when the stop works intervenes, the force never fluctuates. The result is that the amplitude and rate remain consistent, leading to superior precision.The movement of the present watch is nothing short of astounding, made in stainless steel (as opposed to the more habitual brass found in watches) it glows with a certain sheen that has become the Grönefeld’s signature with a succession of sand blasted components with polished angles on different levels with a decidedly very architectural appearance resulting in one of the most stunning horological calibers of the past years. As an added layer of collectibility, the present watch is a most probably unique special order version with an arresting dial requested by the original owner, and made by none other than Comblémine SA, which is owned by the maestro Kari Voutilainen. Finished with the guilloché and enamelling technique, the red and black accents give a beautiful and eye-catching appearance like no other. To date, we know of no other example with this dial configuration, making the present watch possibly unique.
