Gronefeld are all gorgeous yet one of a kind and every one has a special movement ingenuity element.

Very tough choice


Please allow me to share my very own personal opinion.

If you want something extravagant go with Tourbillon .
The most unique and avant garde sexy would be GTM Tourbillon Minute Repeater
The Parallax Tourbillon is the most stunning and sexiest of them all. (I love it so much more than the Decennium T)


If you believe in clean then 1941 principia is the chic classic type. 
it is the most beautiful and elegantly simple for me. 


if you want something gorgeous yet aluring, and exciting go with 1941 Remontoire Original or Kari Mono
(personally for me the bespoke is too much of a good thing, perhaps if I it is me I can only go with monochromatic instead of bicolor)
The 1941 Remontoire is the most amazing watch from both sides. 1941 is definitely one of the sexiest back watch ever at the very least can compete with the sexy back of any watch.
IMHO the 1941 Remontoire is a must have of every watch collector.


If you want something amazing, powerful and distinct go with One Hertz ( every model is unique and makes them fell  abit  more special compare to 1941 Remontoire).
The Techniek  is the most provocative and dynamic. Techniek Nocturne adds darkness and sultryness to the provocative
The Classic are the most stunning and sensual yet honest of power beauty  (Out of steel, platinum, titanium, ruthenium, rose gold,  steel is the most ravishing and true)
The Contemporary are the pop and fun beauty (personally this is my least favorite one hertz yet the Fire is very hot)
IMHO the One Hertz is the intenditore class of watch loving.

Grönefeld

If you could choose one Grönefeld, which would it be? Of course everyone is familiar with the remontoire. It’s a gorgeous watch. But the more I look at and learn about the One Hertz, the more I wonder whether this watch may be a better representation of t...

Very hard to beat the Remontoire, especially with a Kari dial.

Why just one?

 
 By: BMR : October 23rd, 2020-19:29
In all seriousness, though, the 1941 case is absolutely sublime. It is easy to be taken by the movements or the dials, but the 1941 case, to me, is perfection. And if that case is perfection, the Remontoire is the one to have, if just one. But as you can ...

Been thinking about the baby blue Principia a lot lately 😬. Would look amazing next to my Remontoire. But a beautiful One Hertz would look great too . Can’t go wrong with any Gronefeld imho

I totally understand your point. But i have been lucky to try a few One Hertz models on my wrist and its not intimidating at all imho

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : October 24th, 2020-11:45
Ofcourse its bigger then the 1941 case (Remontoire- Principia) but still got a elegant and pleasant feel and look on the wrist . So if you can add one at some point i think you won’t be disappointed.

But I still don’t understand the Hodinkee edition of the remontoire. Why would you get rid of the visible governor on the dial? That is the most unique aspect of the dial, and something you don’t see anywhere else. But I guess everyone’s tastes differ! ...
