Catalogue Essay
- The young independent brand, Grönefeld, over the last decade has established a strong reputation for innovative watches manufactured with a mission to build elegant timepieces with surprising mechanisms.
- 1941 Principia was released in 2018 as their first automatic time-only wristwatch. Extremely well-made like their more complicated timepieces, the brand gave buyers the opportunity to choose the colour of the solid sterling silver dial with options in light blue, like the present example or turquoise, salmon or cream lacquer.
- The automatic caliber bearing the same name as the model features exceptional hand finishing, with an extensively hand-decorated 22 karat sold gold full-sized winding rotor. Rotating on ceramic ball bearings, the rotor’s design prevents wear and eliminates the need for lubrication.
- The present 1941 Principia is accompanied by its original certificate and presentation box, and is an excellent opportunity for fans of independent watchmaking to acquire a Principia no longer in production.
