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
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.
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.
My favorites were probably the guilloche + enamel combo dials.
All other things being equal I would choose the One Hertz. But...
all other things are not equal and at 43mm this is non starter. Having had several 1941 on the wrist it’s just perfect for me, and for many others. More traditional in sizing, and perhaps therefore more durable long term (in terms of fashion, style, weara...
Why just one?
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 ...
Thats a stunning and amazing couple.
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
Thank you my friend.
I really can’t say enough positive things about the Principia. It’s just a stunning and fantastic watch for every day, and that blue is very nice. I must confess that I like them all. I have thought about adding a one hertz, but without having the benefit...

That’s really great information, my friend!
Thank you for sharing your experience with me even though my wife may be very upset with you as a result of it
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 s...
Most welcome. Cozmopak 🥂
I am not an are a lot of experts collectors and masters here who can give more detail analysis. What I wrote is just my personal feelings and emotion towards those models. 😁😍
1941 Remmontoire
Customized of course! Kari dial with my company's colors. Light grey + blue.
I would loooooove to add a one Hertz or a Parralax at some point in the future.
That would be a dream combo together with my Remontoire imho . The One Hertz is such a gorgeous Gronefeld . Love this rose gold with creme dial . Very warm combo
Exactly my friend, your Parallax and One Hertz are the perfect examples how amazing and beautiful the watches from the horological brothers are .
So thankful i was able to handle these beauties last year 🙏🏻🤗
the Grönefeld 1941 Remontoire Limited Edition For HODINKEE
i can say i didn't realize what this timepiece is at that point - i think it is one of the best stealth timepieces from recent times ! Best, mahesh., ...
I know this has been discussed before
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! ...
as i say, it transform this timepiece to a 'stealth mode'...
you take Philippe Dufour Duality...on the face of the watch there is no clue what lies behind but then you turn around - you know the beast. Best, mahesh.,
I own two
I have a Bespoke Remontoire and the Parallax Tourbillon. They are both different and I love them both. Those are the two I like the most. Like their other pieces too but cannot own them all
I understand the limits that may require one -
If you are buying one piece, the selection process is somewhat easier - size, style, available, etc. From a collecting pov, you add other aspects like does one "build" off the technique or technology of the other (ie Gauthier HMS as the extension of the H...
Love the question. It’s tough for me to answer, but I will give it a try. I own a 1941 and am enamored with the history surrounding the piece, aesthetics and the movement. However...
the Parallax Tourbillon is an awesome piece! I haven’t seen one in the flesh, but I really like it. So, it would be between these two. Perhaps having some “hands on” time with the Parallax would help with my decision.
availability
The parallax tourbillon and remointore are sold out. I am not sure about the one hertz but they do come up on the used market. I have not seen a parallax tourbillon of recent. I was fortunate because a dealer had one that was sold but the buyer bailed out...
I chose the 1941 Principia in Rose gold with Roman Numeral Dial.
I love automatic movements so this was an easy choice. With this dial I believe it looks fantastic on any strap choice. I can't wait to try other straps in the future. If there is a better time only AUTOMATIC watch on the market I want to see it. A close ...
Excellent choice .
This is one beautiful Principia. And a Sports watch from the Brothers would be very cool indeed . Who knows 🤷🏻♂️. Time will tell
Arrrgh you are touching my sweet spot here...
Tim and Bart are incredibly gifted and make fantastic watches. The One Hertz is definitely stunning but unfortunately not for me for three main reasons: too large for my (very) small wrist, too striking and eye catching for my (maybe too) classic style, a...
1941 case
Same here. I too have an extra small wrist but the 1941 case fits me like charm.
Hehe I know my friend I tried it several times and the size is perfect
It’s only my pocket size which is small at this moment not the watch 😢
Thank you for all of your insights!
I’ve decided on a One Hertz as my representative of the Grönefeld brothers.
